What does success really look like? For Karla Parra, it wasn’t the corporate career, the degrees, or the external achievements—it was the freedom to live life on her own terms. In this episode, Karla shares her journey from growing up on the beaches of Mexico to pursuing the "American dream" in the U.S., only to walk away from it all in 2019 to travel full-time in an 84-square-foot camper with her husband and two dogs.

Over five years on the road, Karla rediscovered her Mexican heritage, built a coaching business helping women in corporate find more joy, and ultimately embraced a “slowmad” lifestyle in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where she’s now writing her first book, her memoir.

Discover:

  • The mindset shifts that helped Karla leave corporate life for full-time travel
  • How RV life led her to reconnect with her roots in Mexico
  • Her transition from coaching to becoming a full-time writer
  • The importance of building a life from the inside out instead of chasing external success
