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.

In this solo episode, Kate is getting real about something that doesn't get talked about enough in business circles—energy.

And no, not in a fluffy, woo-woo way (we promise). This is about strategy. About protecting your creativity, your peace, and your power as a business owner on the road.

Because here’s the truth:

Your energy is your most magnetic asset. If you’re constantly depleted, your business will feel it. And so will your audience.

Kate shares how protecting your energy is one of the smartest sales strategies you can use—and what it actually looks like in practice.

Whether you’re feeling drained, overstimulated, or just off, this one’s for you.

Still not convinced the Enneagram can help you run your business more effectively?

Then you need to hear this.In Part 2 of our live RV Queens Circles workshop with Enneagram enthusiast Taylor Smith (@refreshedwellnessontheroad), we go even deeper into what each type looks like in real life—especially under stress and at their best.

Plus, Taylor breaks down wings (what they are, how they work) and answers one of the most powerful questions of the night:

🧘‍♀️ “Okay… but once I notice I’m in stress, how do I get back to my healthy self?”

The real-time lightbulb moments in this episode—especially from one of our most skeptical members—are proof this tool is so much more than just a personality quiz.

What you’ll take away from Part 2:

🧭 How to spot when you’re in your stress number✨ What your health number actually means

🪽 Understanding wings—and why yours may shift over time

🛑 How to use the Enneagram as a “rumble strip,” not a box

💡 Real tools for getting back to a healthier, more aligned version of yourself

Whether you’ve already typed yourself or still feel like you don’t quite fit anywhere—this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical tools to run your life and business with more awareness.

In this special 2-year anniversary episode, Kate flips the mic with her husband Drew to reflect on two years of building RV Queens into a thriving podcast and community for entrepreneurial women on the road.

What started as a passion project quickly turned into a real business—and then came the challenge of keeping it fun, light, and aligned with her values. Kate shares what it’s really taken behind the scenes to grow RV Queens without letting it consume her life (been there, done that).

From podcasting on the go to creating a circle of real friendships across the country, this episode is full of honest reflections, heartfelt appreciation, and a few unexpected laughs (Elphie the duck makes a cameo 🦆).

In this episode, Kate shares:

✨ What it really looked like to go from “hobby” to “business” in the first few months

🎤 Why staying light—and not letting it consume her—was the hardest and best decision

❤️ Her favorite part of RV Queens

🙌 How this community has created meaningful friendships, biz growth, and connection on the road

🧠 The surprising amount of time she actually spends on RV Queens each week—and why that’s intentional

🔥 Drew’s proudest moment watching her grow the community and still prioritize family first
