I’m a watery mess, leaking out of all orifices. 😂 🍑 💦 Tears of gratitude and sometimes of grief. Swings from precision and productivity to clumsy run-ins with walls and surrender. Heavy with earth and water elements. I now p*e in my water bottle at night so I don’t have to walk. Yet most mornings there’s a spring in my step and swagger in my hips and the city of Charlottesville, VA sparkles a little bit. The eyes of strangers shine with new miraculous life. And so I smile, let go and lean in.

Feeling full of gratitude for my healthy body, growing baby, bus home in the works, supportive partner, friends and family and honestly this human and earth-friendly mattress from . It feels so good to know my bed isn’t giving me toxic particles to inhale and absorb through my skin. Mine is made with organic latex, cotton and wool and that’s it. Cannot wait to breastfeed in this bed with a wood stove burning, enjoying the view of the country.

I love you! xoxo

The aim was to birth in the bus next month. 😜 But life happened, and this is my first rodeo bus build with my partner, Nolan.

So we released the timeline. And dammmn it feels good to throw my hands in the air and surrender. In my heart I trust the timing and that I’m where I need to be even though at times my little self resists.

The bus will get completed, but the pressure we were putting on ourselves was too much and I’m proud of us for honoring our needs.

Progress doesn’t always look linear. Two steps forwards and one step back. And a detour up a tree. 😂

We’ve collected the pieces. Electric from arrived, as did our latex mattress from . We have a woodstove, sink, cooktop, composting toilet seat, and a floor plan.

The hot decision of the moment is how big of a water tank and where? Inside the bus or outside? In these photos I’m sitting in the future kitchen. Can you see it?!

Shout out to the doers swimming up stream to awaken your dreams. Keep. Going. It’s not easy. There’s no better time than right now to carve out the life and work that you want. 💪🏼 🔥 🚌

I love you. Xoxo

Relationships are hard work no matter the lifestyle. But does vanlife amplify friction? I believe it does. The roughness of the road, the high mobility of travel, and the variability of adventure leaves many of us more vulnerable to anxiety and depression, emotional instability, digestive issues, insomnia and more. Some of us may be better equipped for the road, depending on our unique constitution. For example, Corey is better built for full time travel than me. He is more grounded by nature.

After seven years of vanlife, and two years to reflect on the experience, I understand now how imbalanced I was as a vanlifer. I’d cry often and throw sticks and rocks to process my anger. I compromised alone time and rest trying to keep up with Corey and I burned out. I didn’t understand the gut-brain connection and thus didn’t nurture my digestion, which led me to a terrible experience with digestive parasites. My intelligent body was trying to communicate to me the whole time that I needed to slow down, follow my feminine flow, and soften my edges. And I wonder, would Corey and I still be together had we chosen a different lifestyle?

My heart hurts for Gaby and her family. May the tragic end to this young woman’s life spark the needed conversation around relationships both on and off the road, mental and emotional wellness, and domestic violence. May we remember that health is our birthright, and that we hold the power and freedom to listen within, ask for help, and walk away from what or who no longer serves us.

I share this as a reminder that vanlife is not an escape but rather an experiment that often magnifies what in our lives needs loving attention. It’s a beautiful journey but it’s in our best interest to create a strong foundation of wellness, compassion and communication from which to fly.

I love you. Xoxo

P**p room or not? That is the question. Every decision requires some sort of compromise when building out a short school bus. The dance of form and function is real.

As we finalize the floor plan, I find myself constantly weighing the pros and cons of building a bathroom in this tiny space.

Seven years of vanlife with only a p*e bucket, i.e yogurt container, gives me the feeling that I don’t need a bathroom. P**ping with a view into a dirt hole is one of the most satisfying experiences of my life.

But will I change with a baby? Will being a mother shift my defecation desires? Mothers, how did you change with your first baby?

Friends, the floor is in, so is the bed frame, and organic latex mattress! Getting ready for breast feeding in bed. Ohhhh how life is changing.

Xoxo,
Emily
