Welcome to Traveling Towards Wealth—the podcast where money meets adventure and freedom is always on the horizon.

I’m Sarah Jones: financial coach, full-time traveler, houseplant lover, sourdough baker, and your guide to building a life that’s as rich in experiences as it is in peace of mind.

Each month, we dive deep into a new theme—whether it’s real money stories, the ins and outs of full-time travel, building a business on the road, or finding wellness and simplicity wherever you are. Here, you’ll get practical tips, honest conversations, and a gentle push to spend, save, and live according to your values—not someone else’s rules.

Drawing from her own lifelong experience with anxiety and living in a constant state of fight-or-flight, Sarah shares how the full-time RV lifestyle - filled with ever-changing time zones, climates, elevations, and even the direction her front door faces - has a profound impact on her circadian rhythm and overall well-being.

Sarah candidly details the symptoms she’s faced: restless sleep, vivid dreams, morning bloating, stubborn weight, and a persistent sense of unease. The breakthrough? Realizing that the very adventure she loves is also a major stressor for her nervous system, constantly throwing her body off balance much like a never-ending daylight saving time shift.

She breaks down the science in simple terms, explaining the roles of the parasympathetic (rest and digest) and sympathetic (fight-or-flight) nervous systems, and how chronic stress disrupts hormones like cortisol and insulin. Most importantly, Sarah shares the practical steps she’s taking to regulate her nervous system - offering hope, validation, and actionable ideas for anyone feeling similarly “off” in their own journey.


What You Will Learn

  • Why nervous system dysregulation is a hidden challenge for full-time RV travelers - and why it’s rarely talked about.
  • How constant changes in time zones, direction, and environment disrupt your circadian rhythm and can leave you feeling anxious, tired, and out of sync.
  • The difference between your parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems - and what happens when you’re stuck in survival mode.
  • How Sarah uses frankincense essential oil behind her ears (on the vagus nerve) to activate a sense of calm and safety - plus the life-changing results she’s experienced after six weeks.
  • The importance of upping electrolytes and magnesium to support nervous system health, improve sleep, and regulate stress.
  • Why increasing fiber intake matters for gut health and its connection to mood and anxiety.
  • The grounding power of walking barefoot in dirt or grass - and how even a few minutes a day can help reset your system.
  • How stretching in the morning and calming yoga before bed can signal safety to your body and improve sleep quality.
  • The benefits of getting sunlight and movement (steps) early in the day to anchor your circadian rhythm.
  • Other modalities Sarah plans to add: breathwork, tapping (EFT), and visualization.
  • Why she paused gym workouts to reduce stress and support her healing journey.
  • Early results: deeper sleep, less anxiety, a quieter mind, and waking up without bloating.

Host Sarah Jones unpacks this frequently asked question with her signature blend of honesty and heart. She shares how her approach to choosing destinations has evolved over four and a half years - from spontaneous state-hopping to a more intentional, budget-conscious, and experience-driven process. For Sarah, travel is about more than just new places; it’s about building a fulfilling life rich in freedom, discovery, and connection.

This summer, Sarah and her husband James are mapping their route around anchor events like a business convention, the Grand Design National Rally in Indiana, and possibly the HDT Rally in Kansas. Work camping gigs at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and in Idaho help shape their journey, demonstrating how flexibility and opportunity go hand-in-hand with intentional planning. Sarah also opens up about the importance of community - seeking out rallies to connect with fellow RVers - and the ongoing work of regulating her nervous system to support sustainable travel.

With vulnerability and practical wisdom, Sarah reminds listeners that location freedom is about more than movement; it’s about having the power to say yes, no, or pause - whenever it feels right. This episode is a must-listen for anyone craving adventure, connection, and a more intentional approach to life on the road.

🗺️ What You Will Learn

  • How to ask the right questions before planning your route: Focus on what you want to experience, not just where you want to go.
  • How travel planning evolves over time: From spontaneous picks to intentional, budget-aware decisions.
  • The role of anchor events: Using rallies, conventions, and work camping gigs to structure your travel year.
  • Work camping in action: Real examples from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Idaho.
  • Finding your RV community: Why Sarah and James prioritize rallies with like-minded travelers.
  • Mental and emotional wellness on the road: Navigating nervous system regulation and the realities of feeling unsettled.
  • Embracing location freedom: The power to say yes, no, or stay put - on your own terms.

From surprise suspension failures (and a not-so-friendly rant about Lippert’s unserviceable parts) to the emotional weight of leaving her daughter and friends behind, Sarah doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. She breaks down the costs, the chaos, and the careful planning that goes into every trip - plus the mental and emotional prep that’s just as important as any mechanical fix.

🚦 What You Will Learn

  • A real, itemized RV departure checklist for every vehicle: the camper, semi, car, and motorcycle.
  • The hidden dangers of RV weight overload -why it’s so common, what it causes, and how to tackle it with intentional decluttering and smart weight distribution.
  • The true cost (and frustration) of surprise repairs, including a candid rant about Lippert’s non-serviceable suspension parts.
  • How to time repairs and parts purchases strategically when you’re near major cities (and why it matters for remote travel).
  • The mental and emotional side of RV life: prepping for rough roads, aggressive drivers, and the bittersweet reality of leaving loved ones behind.
  • Tips for prepping pets and houseplants for travel - because they feel the journey, too!
  • How to stay organized and keep your sanity when the to-do list feels never-ending.

This episode is a raw, real-talk brain dump - because sometimes, that’s exactly what we need. I’m coming to you from a season where “simple living” feels anything but simple. Between prepping our fifth wheel to hit the road again after a long stretch in Arizona, juggling multiple businesses, and staring down a to-do list that seems to multiply overnight, I’ve been feeling seriously scattered. And I just had to talk about it.

I’m getting vulnerable about the mistakes I’ve been making lately - uncharacteristic ones that are a clear signal my brain is at capacity. I’m questioning which commitments are actually serving my goal of financial abundance and simplicity, and which ones I’ve taken on out of obligation or habit. The truth is, I haven’t stopped to clearly define what a simple life looks like for me, and that lack of vision has been costing me time, energy, and peace of mind. I’m calling this my data-collection phase - just noticing what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to go.


I’m also sharing some practical strategies that are helping me claw my way back to clarity: time-blocking, ruthlessly prioritizing revenue-producing activities, delegating or eliminating the rest, and tackling the mental and physical clutter that’s been weighing me down. If you’ve ever felt like simplifying your life has somehow made it more complicated, this one is for you. Come sit with me in the messy middle - and let’s figure this out together.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • 🌱 Why simple living isn’t always simple - and how to get honest about the gap between your vision and your current reality
  • 📝 How to audit your commitments and identify which obligations are aligned with your goals (and which are quietly draining you)
  • 🔍 The power of naming a “data-collection phase” - giving yourself permission to observe and adjust without judgment
  • ⏰ Practical productivity strategies: time-blocking, task prioritization, and clearing mental and physical clutter to reclaim focus
  • 💸 Why aligning your to-do list with revenue-producing, goal-forward activities is essential when you’re running businesses on the road
  • 🛤️ How to start defining your personal vision for a simple life so your decisions have a clear filter to run through

In this episode of Traveling Towards Wealth, host Sarah Jones invites you into her 400 sq ft fifth wheel RV - her “homestead on wheels”- to bust the myth that you need land and a barn to live self-sufficiently. Sarah shares her real-life journey of intentional living, showing that homesteading is a mindset rooted in the choices you make every day: what you grow, what you consume, and how you spend your money.

Sarah dives deep into the practicalities of food preservation, comparing canning, freeze drying, and her personal favorite - dehydrating. She explains why dehydrating is the perfect fit for small spaces and RV life, and how it empowers her to buy in bulk, reduce waste, and always have nutritious food on hand. Beyond food, Sarah explores how to simplify your home products, whether you’re into DIY cleaning solutions or prefer to shop with brands that align with your values. She encourages listeners to start slow, avoid overwhelm, and redefine what “bulk” means for their unique lifestyle. Plus, she teases her next adventure: experimenting with a hydroponic system to grow herbs and greens on the road.

This episode is a warm, supportive reminder that you have more control over your health, home, and happiness than you think - no matter your square footage. Sarah’s unfiltered advice and practical tips will inspire you to take one small step toward intentional, value-led living today.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Why homesteading is a mindset, not a location
  • The real pros and cons of canning, freeze drying, and dehydrating food
  • Why dehydrating is ideal for RVers, apartment dwellers, and anyone with limited space
  • How to get started with dehydrating: the only two tools you really need
  • Creative ideas for what to dehydrate (beyond jerky!): fruit leather, herbs, pasta, and more
  • How to build a non-toxic, multi-purpose home product routine with simple staples
  • The importance of aligning your purchases with your values
  • How to avoid overwhelm: start with just one thing and build sustainable habits
  • Smart strategies for buying in bulk without creating waste or clutter
  • Sarah’s upcoming experiment with hydroponics

Sarah dives deep into the practicalities of food preservation, comparing canning, freeze drying, and her personal favorite - dehydrating. She explains why dehydrating is the perfect fit for small spaces and RV life, and how it empowers her to buy in bulk, reduce waste, and always have nutritious food on hand. Beyond food, Sarah explores how to simplify your home products, whether you’re into DIY cleaning solutions or prefer to shop with brands that align with your values. She encourages listeners to start slow, avoid overwhelm, and redefine what “bulk” means for their unique lifestyle. Plus, she teases her next adventure: experimenting with a hydroponic system to grow herbs and greens on the road.

This episode is a warm, supportive reminder that you have more control over your health, home, and happiness than you think - no matter your square footage. Sarah’s unfiltered advice and practical tips will inspire you to take one small step toward intentional, value-led living today.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Why homesteading is a mindset, not a location
  • The real pros and cons of canning, freeze drying, and dehydrating food
  • Why dehydrating is ideal for RVers, apartment dwellers, and anyone with limited space
  • How to get started with dehydrating: the only two tools you really need
  • Creative ideas for what to dehydrate (beyond jerky!): fruit leather, herbs, pasta, and more
  • How to build a non-toxic, multi-purpose home product routine with simple staples
  • The importance of aligning your purchases with your values
  • How to avoid overwhelm: start with just one thing and build sustainable habits
  • Smart strategies for buying in bulk without creating waste or clutter
  • Sarah’s upcoming experiment with hydroponics

Drawing from her own experiences as a full-time traveler living minimally in an RV (with a couple of storage units, too), Sarah explores how both visible and invisible clutter can weigh us down, sap our energy, and keep us from living our most adventurous, intentional lives.

She shares the real-life challenges of letting go - like what to do with old VHS tapes, sentimental keepsakes, and clothes you haven’t worn in years. Through candid stories (including a reluctant but victorious purge session with her husband James), Sarah reveals how decluttering is about so much more than stuff: it’s about releasing old versions of ourselves, healing money wounds, and making room for new growth. Whether you’re dreaming of RV life or just want to feel lighter and more free, this episode will inspire you to take action - one intentional decision at a time.

What You Will Learn

  • 💡 Why “you can’t outlearn disorganization”
  • 🧠 The hidden cost of mental clutter and how it quietly drains your energy and focus
  • 🎽 How our stuff can represent old versions of ourselves
  • 📦 The 50% Challenge: Sarah’s bold invitation to cut your possessions in half (and why you probably won’t regret it)
  • ♻️ Practical strategies for decluttering: from selling vintage items to donation runs and the “one-in, one-out” rule
  • ☕ How to maintain a minimalist lifestyle on the road (or at home) by being intentional about what you keep
  • 💸 Why “I spent good money on that” is a money wound
  • 🌱 How decluttering creates space for new opportunities, adventures, and a more peaceful mind

In this episode, we’re going deep on safer products, toxic ingredients, and what it actually looks like to shop smarter without losing your mind in the grocery store aisle. No PhD in toxicology required, I promise.

Most of us don’t set out to fill our homes with harmful chemicals. But between the laundry detergent that’s “supposed to smell like a meadow,” the plugin air fresheners, the Clorox wipes we’re using on our baby’s toys, and the skincare products we slather on every single morning - the average person is exposed to over 100 chemicals before they’ve even had breakfast. One hundred. Before breakfast.

And while not every chemical is bad, a lot of the ones hiding in our everyday products absolutely are - and they’re linked to migraines, skin conditions, breathing problems, fatigue, and so much more. The United States has become remarkably lax about what’s allowed in our food, cleaning products, and personal care items. Ingredients that are banned in other countries are sitting right there on your grocery store shelf.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to overhaul everything overnight. You don’t have to spend hours Googling conflicting information. You don’t have to feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m breaking it all down into small, manageable, actually-doable steps.

I also share the online wellness store I’ve been shopping at for 19 years (yes, really), why I trust it completely, and how it has helped me - and hundreds of people I’ve worked with - live cleaner without blowing their budget. And trust me, as a financial coach, I wouldn’t recommend it if it didn’t make sense financially.

This one’s practical, a little fiery, and full of the kind of no-fluff conversation I love having. Let’s go.

What You Will Learn

  • 🧪 Why toxic chemicals in everyday products are a bigger deal than most people realize
  • 💸 The real financial cost of toxic products
  • 🫁 The shocking study on national brand cleaners and lung damage
  • 🏷️ How to read product labels without spending 500x longer at the store
  • 🛒 The “shop the perimeter” strategy for grocery stores
  • 🧴 Which products to switch first
  • 💡 How to make the switch without overwhelm
  • 🌿 How safer product choices create a ripple effect
  • 🎯 How to make this a fun, family-friendly challenge

Me too! In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the financial coaching industry - not to throw shade, but to share why I get frustrated and why I choose to do things differently.

Most coaches recycle the same “baby steps” and fear-based messaging that can leave you feeling restricted, guilty, or stuck in scarcity. But money is so much more than just numbers and cuts. It’s about your mindset, your beliefs, and living a life of growth and abundance - not shame and deprivation.

I dive into my signature approach built around the 6 Pillars of Finance - Creating, Saving, Spending, Investing, Giving, and Organizing Money - a holistic framework that covers the full money journey. I explain why addressing your money mindset and beliefs is the secret sauce to lasting financial confidence and freedom.

Plus, I share how I help people build custom money plans that fit their unique lives and values, so they can spend joyfully, save wisely, and navigate life’s curveballs without fear. Whether you want to travel more, pay off debt, or simply live with peace of mind, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever felt like financial coaching was just a rerun of tired advice, tune in to hear a fresh perspective that honors your story and empowers you to create the financial life you deserve.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why the typical “cut your coffee” advice misses the bigger picture
  • How fear and shame messaging can hold you back from true financial freedom
  • The power of the 6 Pillars of Finance to build a balanced, sustainable money life
