In this episode of The RV Entrepreneur Podcast, Rose is joined by Kate White – former UX designer turned full-time RVer, podcaster, and community builder. Kate shares how leaving a high-paying tech job led her to a more meaningful life on the road, homeschooling her kids, building a brand, and connecting with a powerful network of women entrepreneurs through her podcast, RV Queens.

We dive into the importance of collaborative community for nomads, what it takes to launch and grow a podcast on the road, and why embracing failure is essential for entrepreneurial growth. Kate also shares some powerful tips and mindset shifts for RV women entrepreneurs.

GUEST BIO: Kate White is a former UX designer who never imagined she’d be living in an RV or homeschooling her kids. In 2022, she and her husband left their suburban life in Omaha, Nebraska, to travel the country in search of a new place to call home. Instead, they discovered a thriving community of people embracing a non-traditional way of life. Inspired by their stories, Kate launched the RV Queens Podcast to connect, support, and celebrate high-achieving women who are building businesses while traveling full-time. She believes RV life isn’t just about adventure—it’s a path to greater freedom, flexibility, and a life designed on your own terms.
