LTGL2602 – Sarah Jones | RV Life, Real Growth & Redefining Freedom

Episode: LTGL2602 – Sarah Jones | RV Life, Real Growth & Redefining FreedomWhat happens when you make a five-minute decision that completely changes your life?In this episode, Kimberly sits down with fellow full-time RVer and multi-passionate entrepreneur Sarah Jones to talk about what it really looks like to build a life—and a business—on the road. No perfect plan. No polished blueprint. Just a willingness to say yes… and figure it out along the way. From an unexpected start (think: “we need a place to live” energy) to four and a half years of full-time travel, Sarah shares how this lifestyle has shaped not just her work, but who she’s becoming. This conversation goes beyond RV logistics and into something deeper—freedom, fear, nervous system health, and what it means to truly feel at peace in your own life.In this episode, you’ll hear:How a spontaneous decision turned into a full-time RV lifestyleThe difference between having a “dream” and allowing life to unfoldWhat it’s really like to run a business on the road (the good, the messy, and the honest)The challenge of building community without a physical “home base”Why routines may fail you—and habits might save youA powerful personal realization about stress, cortisol, and nervous system healthSimple shifts that made a big difference in sleep, clarity, and overall well-beingThe surprising truth about “balance” on the roadReal talk about RV ownership (including the maintenance most people ignore)The RV Evolution (because yes…they have names) Sarah shares her journey from a small, older fifth wheel to a full-scale HDT (Heavy Duty Truck) setup:Started with a modest fifth wheel out of necessityUpgraded to a 41-foot home-on-wheelsNow travels in a full semi setup (yes, really)And meet the crew:Cash – the semi truckCarmen – the fifth wheelVicky – the motorcycleBenny – the carA deeper thread: From “doing all the right things” to actually feeling better One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Sarah’s realization that even when she was:Eating wellExercising consistentlyDoing everything “right”…something still felt off.That led her to explore nervous system regulation, stress, and the impact of living in a constant low-level fight-or-flight state—and how small, consistent habits (not just routines) can begin to shift that.Practical wisdom for RV life If you’re even thinking about RVing, don’t miss this: You are not doing enough maintenance. It’s not glamorous, but it’s essential. Sarah shares why small, daily awareness can save you from major headaches (and expenses) down the road.Sarah’s advice for aspiring RVers: You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you feel the pull to travel—even just for a few weeks or months—find a way to try it. The experience alone can change how you see your life, your priorities, and what’s actually possible._______________________________________________About Sarah Jones:Sarah Jones is a financial coach, full-time RV adventurer, and host of the Traveling Towards Wealth Podcast.
