Wondering if it’s possible to juggle a 9–5, a side business, and RV travel without losing your mind? 😅

Meet Michelle Coleman—a full-time educator, part-time RVer, travel content creator, group travel host, and now... RV designer!

In this episode, Michelle and I talk about how she and her husband Brian became anytimers (aka: not full-timers, but on the road every chance they get), how their brand Cruisin' with the Colemans was born, and how a simple rig tour turned into a partnership with Coachmen to co-design a brand new travel trailer.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• How Michelle’s expertise in public speaking became a superpower in pitching and partnerships
• Her behind-the-scenes systems to stay organized as a full-time teacher and travel creator
• The design process of their new RV model with Coachmen (and why she had to advocate for a leg-shaving shelf in the shower 🤣)
• How she and Brian split tasks between short-form and long-form content
• Why leading intentional group travel experiences has become one of the most meaningful parts of her business
• PLUS Michelle opens up about how the RV Queens Circles community helped her ditch imposter syndrome and feel connected as a part-time traveler

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to wait until you retire to start living your dream. You can build a brand, lead adventures, and work with your favorite companies right now.

Thinking about buying an RV or going full-time? You NEED this episode in your life.

Kate sits down with RV consultant and podcast host Cathy Conrad, who turned years of research (and a background in construction management!) into a business helping aspiring RVers avoid expensive mistakes. From water damage horror stories to the dangers of buying based on emotion instead of facts, Cathy shares the tips she wishes more people knew before they hit the road.

If you’re dreaming about RV life but don’t know where to start—or you’re already living it and worried about protecting your investment—this episode is packed with smart, practical advice from someone who’s been there, researched that, and helps others every day.

Key takeaways:

🔧 Buying an RV is not like buying a car

• Most people don’t realize RVs aren’t built by electricians or plumbers—so if you don’t inspect it (even brand new), you're rolling the dice.

📋 Avoid the #1 mistake: buying the wrong rig

• Buying a setup that doesn’t fit your travel style = wasted money, fast. Cathy breaks down how to get it right the first time.

🧯 Safety first, always

• From blowouts to fishtails, Cathy explains the towing safety tips most people learn too late (yes, trailer brakes are a thing).

📸 She's got receipts

• Cathy shares hilarious and cringey real-life stories from RV parks—and why she’s quietly snapping pics of what not to do.
