Road Ready Mentorship: Build Your Solo Van Life Foundations
Stop the "analysis paralysis" and start driving with confidence. I’ve designed this 3-session roadmap to get you road-ready by focusing on the systems, logistics, and mindset you actually need—no throw pillows required.
Why Choose This Mentorship? You don't need general advice; you need a plan that fits your life. We tackle the three roadblocks that keep solo women stuck in the driveway:
Emotional Confidence: I help you replace 'Am I crazy for doing this?' with 'I am ready for this.'
Financial Reality: I work with you to build a practical budget that proves you can afford your freedom.
Safety & Systems: I guide you through setting up the practical routines—from nightly safety protocols to finding the right campsite—that make safety a habit.
The Road Ready Mentorship: Your 3-Session Journey
Session 1: The Anchor & The Vision (90 Minutes)
The Focus: We dig into your specific fears and your specific dream. We stop the "analysis paralysis" by defining exactly what your version of van life looks like (and what you can stop worrying about).
The Takeaway: A clear vision of your future life and a specific plan to tackle your personal roadblocks.
Your Deliverable: The "My Why" Vision Guide & Fear-Busting Workbook.
Session 2: The "Real Life" Money Plan (90 Minutes)
The Focus: Forget complex spreadsheets. We build a realistic living budget. We calculate exactly what your life will cost—from gas and campground fees to your morning coffee—so you know exactly how much freedom you can afford.
The Takeaway: Total financial peace of mind. You will know your "Daily Number" to stay on the road comfortably.
Your Deliverable: The "Can I Afford This?" Custom Budget Tracker & Sustainability Report.
Session 3: The Launch Blueprint (60 Minutes)
The Focus: Logistics mode. We finalize your Safety Protocols (so you sleep soundly from night one), review your essential gear list (so you don't overpack), and map out your first "Shakedown Trip."
The Takeaway: You walk away with a specific route, a solidified safety plan, and the confidence that you are personally prepared for the road.
Your Deliverable: Your Personal Launch Roadmap (Custom Safety Protocol Checklist + 6-Month Route Plan).
Plus: The "Back Pocket Bestie" (30 Days Support)
For 30 days, you have direct email access to me. Stuck on a gear choice? Panic attack about insurance? Send me a message. I’m your safety net while you take your first steps.
Investment: $349 (Limited Time Introductory Rate)
Flexible Support: The Compass Call
Stuck on ONE thing? Let’s solve it in an hour.
You don't always need a full roadmap. Sometimes you just need an expert to review your route, fix a budget leak, or talk you down from a ledge of worry.
Perfect if you need to:
Audit Your Layout: Unsure if a low-roof vs. high-roof is right for your body and lifestyle? We’ll review your needs to ensure your future home fits you.
Fix a Fear: Terrified of sleeping alone? We will build your personal safety protocol in one hour.
Check the Budget: Unsure if your math adds up? I’ll review your numbers.
The "No Judgment" Zone: Have a question you’re afraid to ask in public forums? From bathroom logistics to dealing with loneliness, nothing is off-limits.
Investment: $79

Why Mentoring?
Turning your van life vision into a confident, sustainable reality can feel overwhelming:
Analysis Paralysis: Too many ideas, conflicting advice, and information overload.
Unique Fears: Deep worries about financial longevity, solo safety, and maintenance as a woman 45+.
Isolation and Second-Guessing: Feeling alone in this massive decision or concerned about what family/friends might think.
Financial Worry: You want to know exactly what this lifestyle costs so you don't drain your savings.
You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. That’s where I come in. I help you move from confusion and overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and momentum—without the guesswork.
Who This Is For:
You’ll love mentoring if you are:
Solo women 45+ who are ready for adventure but want a practical, safe roadmap to get there.
Empty nesters or retirees who feel overwhelmed by "information overload" and want a clear, step-by-step plan.
Aspiring vanlifers who value "Function Over Fashion" and want to prioritize logistics and safety over aesthetics.
Travelers in transition who want to avoid making expensive mistakes in the early stages of their journey.
A personal note from Catina: I built this specifically for the woman who is ready to claim her freedom but feels overwhelmed by the noise. I’ve been where you are—transitioning from a tiny house to a minivan—and I’m currently prepping my own move into a Ram ProMaster. I know exactly which foundations matter, and I’m here to help you master them.
