What happens when life takes a surprising turn and FORCES you to make a drastic change? 

For Stephanee Dellacruz, her husband’s unexpected medical retirement from the military turned their world upside down. But instead of seeing it as a setback, they took it as an opportunity to rethink everything—including how they wanted to live and work.

Now, Stephanee and her family travel full-time in an RV, having launched into RV life twice—the first time in 2021 and again in 2022 after realizing they weren’t quite ready to settle down. Along the way, she built a thriving personal brand on social media, proving that you don’t need a massive following to make an income online!

Stephanee’s journey is a powerful example of turning obstacles into opportunities. If you’ve ever wondered how to make money while traveling or struggled with imposter syndrome in content creation, this episode is packed with insights!

Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ Perfection is overrated—go for good enough

  • Stephanie shares how shifting away from perfectionism helped her take action, build her brand, and enjoy RV life without unnecessary stress.

2️⃣ Your brand is more than just RV life

  • Instead of becoming a full-time “RV influencer,” Stephanie built her brand around who she is—not just where she lives. This approach gave her flexibility and longevity in her content creation business.

3️⃣ You don’t need a massive following to monetize

  • Stephanie started earning money from brand partnerships when she had just a few thousand followers. The key? Clear messaging, strong engagement, and knowing how to pitch.

4️⃣ Treat content creation like a business

  • From negotiating rates to protecting your creative rights, Stephanie explains why it’s important to ask for compensation and advocate for yourself when working with brands.

5️⃣ There’s no right way to RV full-time

  • Whether you’re boondocking, staying at resorts, or balancing travel with work and family, Stephanie encourages women to embrace what works best for them—not just what they see online.
