I ended up experiencing a period of depression during my vanlife travels- unrelated to my direct experience in the van. However, during that time I got myself into a tricky situation with another van lifer who claimed to be an energy healer. He was not upfront about his underlaying sexual desires and intent when he offered me an energy work session. I talk about how I handled it. Then directly aft...

Hello! In this episode, I talk about my recent festival experience. And in moments, about my encounters with people whose main source of indulgence was nitrous, booze, and coke… and my observations from that. I talk about how I make friends despite being an introvert, how I got introduced to alternative substances, and lessons around getting out of my comfort zone. Hope you enjoy this episode with...

In this episode, I talk about the mystical experience I had at Crater Lake National Park, sister to Mount Shasta. I explain the general facts about it, as well as diving into the spiritual experience I had there. My wish for this episode is to inspire people to look at nature through a more magical lens & to listen to her whispers. Does this episode resonate? Let me know!

This is a story about my experience attending a music festival by myself. I realized volunteering at music festivals is the perfect way to make new friends as a solo nomadic female. This episode covers how I made new soulmate friendships, practiced setting boundaries in different situations, and much more. At the end, there’s a van life update around the synchronicities aligning for me in Ashland,...

The title says it all. A homeless man gives me money the day of this episode. Which brings about huge realizations to a 23 year old midwestern girl who’s just starting to explore the world. Some of which may seem like a no brainer to folks in certain parts of the world, but shook me awake, being someone who’s had little exposure to large homeless populations. These realizations made me notice the...

I did it. I moved away from everything I’ve ever known. I made the leap on a dream I’ve had in my heart for a while. I feel happy and excited overall, but in this episode I show the real side of being absolutely terrified. I cry often. I talk about navigating going to events solo and the epiphanies I had after doing so. And being fearful of what it’s going to be like truly on my own, after the fri...

Life is getting fancy here in the van abode: I installed a kitchenette and hooked up my ceiling fan. With a working sink now, I feel unstoppable. Travel plans I made fell through due to more unforeseen, unfortunate, outta-my-control circumstances. So now I question what the universe even wants me to do anymore & come up with ideas on what to do instead.

I sit in ceremony with different plant medicines two weekends in a row. The most recent being a sound ceremony involving magic mushrooms and MDMA. After releasing deep, heavy bodily trauma the weekend before, this ceremony was a powerful experience of finding the little girl in my body who was hiding behind it all. I talk about reconnecting with this deeply lost part of myself and fully connecting...

I get really bored inside of my vehicle, talk about my rough van set up that makes me feel homeless on occasion, and have a full blown ego trip thinking I’m better than where I grew up.

Welcome to DaPoddy: a podcast started the week after sitting in an intense plant medicine ceremony. We talk about my life suddenly falling apart and ideas about where I'd like to go next. We drop into my experience with van life and my intentions as I move back into it. Also, sorry to all the Steve's out there.
