Love Your VanLife Podcast

Love Your VanLife Podcast

Hola! My name is Madison MonRoe Curtis. I live in a van with my fluffy best friend Willow. What is VanLife? What is it like for your everyday home to have 4 wheels? Love Your VanLife Podcast is about learning to love your life where you're at. Not just about loving #vanlife, which is really great. This is about coming face to face with our human struggles and recognizing our passions in the search of finding our purpose/s. Join me on my journey of traveling around the world in my tiny home van, learning to do life better than I did yesterday. While getting to hear other brilliant humans that I meet along the way transparently share their life stories. Learn from the history of our fellow humans! This is a place for growth, and that usually requires some discomfort. Hop in, buckle up, press PLAY!

In a world that makes us fearful of tomorrow due to covering our face for "protection," the modern-day civil war, or perhaps the basic anxieties we faced before the notorious 2020 began. Finding our voice can be tough. Combine that with actually listening to it, and that is near impossible. Only a few have succeeded in reaching their purpose while following their heart. We know them as the greats. Those names that you bri...

Goals? Myth or Reality. It is up to us.
I just moved to the beautiful state of Colorado, with a stronger mindset, great people, and a breathtaking view. "There is no time like the present." Really! The past is over and the future hasn't happened. Now, is what you got. So, stop making excuses and make one change that will get you closer to "the you", you want to be.
