✨ DON’T SLEEP ON THIS! ✨

Ever feel like you’re waiting for someone ELSE to give you the green light on your own dreams?

In this episode, Kate breaks down why YOU hold the power to say “yes” to that bold idea on your heart—no one else.

Whether it’s starting a business, writing a book, or simply carving out daily time for yourself, Kate’s got the practical steps to help you move from overthinking to executing.

From dealing with limiting “buts” (“But I have no time!” “But what if I fail?”) to scheduling micro-steps toward your goals, this episode is your invitation to embrace the new year with clarity, courage, and a fierce dose of self-permission.

Key Takeaways

1️⃣ You Don’t Need External Approval
Waiting for others to “okay” your dream will keep you stuck. Give yourself permission and watch momentum build.

2️⃣ Identify Your ‘One Next Step’
Skip the overwhelm—just figure out the single, most logical action you can take right now.

3️⃣ Combat the “But”s
Whether it’s lack of time, lack of funds, or fear of failing, every “but” has a workaround. Think creativity over impossibility.

4️⃣ Create a Permission Mantra
A simple daily affirmation can rewire your mindset toward possibility.

5️⃣ Schedule Everything
The best way to fight busyness? Put your dream on the CALENDAR. Even 30 minutes a day can lead to significant progress.

🚌 Ever wondered if your RV could make you money—without you lifting a finger?

In this episode of the RV Queens Podcast, Kate chats with Stacy Maxon, COO of Fireside RV Rental, about turning your rig into a reliable revenue stream.

Whether you’re curious about renting out your RV when you’re not using it or ready to dive into the rental management business yourself, Stacy breaks down the options, offers real-world numbers, and explains exactly what it takes to make it work. Plus, she shares insights on living a life “escaping the ordinary” and why experiencing the RV lifestyle with family is something you should do sooner rather than later.

Key takeaways

1️⃣ How Stacey and her husband left traditional careers, rented out their personal RV, and discovered a profitable business model in RV rentals.

2️⃣ How RV Rentals Work: The nuts and bolts of working with a rental management company, what to expect in terms of nightly rates, insurance, and handling unexpected issues.

3️⃣ Real numbers on what a fifth wheel or travel trailer can earn in a single season and how certain regions can rent year-round.

4️⃣ The difference between running your own RV rental franchise and the more hands-off approach of management companies.

5️⃣ Why Stacey believes in NOT waiting until retirement to explore the world, and how her newsletter and platform encourage families to hit the road now.
