    • How to avoid common newsletter swap mistakes (and what to do instead)

  • 71: Slow Travel & Routine: Why Is it So Hard as Travel Creators?
    May 29 2025

    Text me your content win!

    Ever feel like you're traveling just to check off boxes—and missing the whole point? Same.

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about slowing the heck down, building a travel lifestyle that actually feeds you, and being real about how tough routines are when you’re living on the road.

    I brought on two of my favorite humans, Candace and Logan—van lifers, creators, and truly intentional travelers who’ve been doing this since before it was cool (yep, pre-#VanLife). We dive into what slow travel really means (hint: it’s not just staying longer), how they built their creative routines from the road, and how to avoid being “that” tourist when you post about tiny towns online.

    ✨ This episode is a love letter to living slower, consuming less, and being deeply rooted in how we show up as travelers.

    We’re covering:

    • The actual rules of intentional travel—no, really

    • Why overposting can hurt local communities (and what to do instead)

    • How to balance creating content without burning out

    • Our favorite hippie routines (brushing your teeth with clay, anyone?)

    • A brutally honest take on travel and routine while living in a van

    • The books and tools that shaped how Logan & Candace travel today

    If you're feeling totally drained right now—you are so not alone. We’re officially at that point in the year where being outside sounds way better than another hour behind the screen.

    From outsourcing the stuff you hate, to turning your workday into a game (hello sweet treat rewards 🍩), to co-creating with friends and playing with new formats—we’re breaking all the “rules” and bringing the fun back to your strategy.

    🔑 What You’ll Learn:

    • Why fun is essential for consistency as a content creator
    • How to identify your content strengths—and ditch the rest
