About The Carol-Van: A (Van) Life Podcast

Have you ever fantasized about walking out the door and leaving everything behind for good? I have. And then, I actually did it.  In 2019, I answered the call of my lifelong wanderlust. Since then, my home has been my trusty 2010 Toyota Sienna. My backyard is anywhere I park it.  Before that, my plans for putting rubber to road were stalled by a profound depressive episode that nearly killed me. I eventually inventoried which aspects of my life I could truly control. Whatever didn’t contribute to good mental health had to go. That long process ultimately enabled me to make the leap of faith necessary to give up a stable job and leave a conventional home.  While traveling the US and Canada solo as a full-time digital nomad is indeed a dream come true, it's become essential that I explore what else, besides my wanderlust, propels my travels. Turns out that living the dream has not made everything right. Why have I put so much distance between myself and my loved ones? To achieve genuine fulfillment, it’s become necessary to unpack all the baggage I’ve been dragging with me. This self-examination is serialized in my podcast, “The Carol-Van: A (Van) Life Podcast." Through deeply personal narratives, I follow breadcrumbs leading to painful, ridiculous, and triumphant revelations and confront the consequences of unresolved issues. Not only for those I love that are struggling to understand, but for my own emotional well-being and desire to reconnect. The only way forward is to expose what's holding me back.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
