When her community was in danger, she acted. 46-year-old artist and vehicle dweller Heidi Forcher, known online as Spooky Amaryllis, was working her booth at a Seattle market when a deranged man began attacking people at an art market. Thanks to Heidi's fast thinking and survival instincts, she saved a shop owner during a brutal attack, body slamming the assailant to the ground until police arrived.
In this episode, we talk about her life: living in a vehicle with her disabled son, surviving domestic violence, parenting through financial hardship, and what it means to stay brave when the world feels chaotic.
Heidi’s story is raw, real, and unforgettable, and now, it’s time we show her the support she’s always shown others. 💛

In Episode 18 of The Knock: Waking Up Van Life, we sit down with our guest Calista, who has been living in her sedan for the past three years while navigating serious health issues. Despite working and creating jewelry for her Etsy shop, she’s faced the same housing struggles so many Americans are experiencing today.
Her story shines a harsh light on the housing and homelessness crisis. After turning down her family’s offers to couch-surf, she later watched them become unhoused themselves, now living in a tent behind a shopping center while still holding jobs. Together, we dive into how rising rent, stagnant wages, and new policies are pushing vehicle dwellers and the working poor into even harder situations.
We also unpack the realities of van life that many creators won’t talk about:
And for the first time on our show, a guest shares how a pet sitting job turned into a nightmare! when a client solicited and physically assaulted Callista, forcing her to defend herself and involve law enforcement.
This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about van life solutions, survival, and the dangerous realities that too many face while trying to live in vehicles, car camp, or simply find safe shelter.

🚐 Vanlife isn’t always sunsets and freedom, sometimes the hardest part is just finding a safe place to sleep.With public lands closing, overcrowded campsites, and rising city restrictions, overnight parking for vanlifers and car dwellers is becoming harder to find.
In this episode, we sit down with Heaven, a full-time traveler who has found creative solutions to staying on the road. From house sitting and pet sitting in Hawaii and Costa Rica, to storing her van and taking temporary breaks from nomadic life, she shares how these opportunities provide rent-free housing, showers, rest, and space to work all while traveling.
We also dive into the reality of making money on the road. Beyond remote jobs and freelance work, many nomads turn to alternative side hustles to sustain their journey. This conversation is about empowerment, resilience, and redefining what it means to live free when traditional systems are closing doors.
✨ If you’re navigating the challenges of Vanlife in 2025 public land closures, skyrocketing rents, or struggling to find safe parking this episode is for you.

Van life Solutions in a Changing World a limited podcast series for nomads, full-time travelers, and van lifers facing the growing restrictions on vehicle dwelling and public land access.
With laws like Idaho’s SB1142 banning overnight vehicle camping, and increasing pressure from cities and federal agencies, we’re entering a new era ,one where self-sustained van life is no longer guaranteed.
So, what now? That’s what this series is here to explore. In each episode, we’ll dive into practical, tested alternatives that nomads across the country are using to stay mobile, legal, and housed from house sitting and work camping to renting private land and building community-owned spaces.
This isn’t a ‘how to live in a van’ podcast. This is a ‘how to keep living in one’ podcast. Let’s talk solutions.

Is nomadic parenting empowering… or exploitative?In this episode of the podcast, we unpack a conversation the vanlife and RV community needs to have: where do we draw the line between sharing our journey and exploiting our children for content?
🎧 We explore:
The beauty of raising kids on the road
When documenting becomes monetizing
Red flags in family content creation
Consent, digital privacy, and long-term harm
What ethical nomadic parenting really looks like
As vanlifers ourselves, we’ve seen both ends of the spectrum. This isn’t about cancel culture, it’s about protecting kids, reclaiming the narrative, and doing better.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Iman—a survivor, writer, mother, and van lifer—who bravely shares her journey of being “thrown away” after a narcissistic marriage that spanned continents. From finding love in Egypt that would soon reveal to be anything but, to rebuilding her life on her own terms in the U.S., Iman opens up about the financial, emotional and even physical toll of narcissistic abuse, the healing process, and how van life became her path to freedom and self-reliance.
We dive into the real definition of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), how women, and even men can be victims of partners and parents with NPD. In this episode we discover van life can be a legitimate escape route and healing tool for survivors.
Whether you're healing from toxic relationships, exploring alternative lifestyles, or seeking stories of transformation and resilience—you don’t want to miss this conversation.

So you wanna live in a van? Cute. But let’s get real—if you don’t have the right essentials, your dream road trip is gonna turn into a sweaty, hangry, sleep-deprived nightmare real quick.
We’re talking fans (because roasting like a rotisserie chicken isn’t the vibe), a bathroom setup (unless you enjoy emergency bush runs at 2 AM), a way to cook (unless you think cold SpaghettiOs count as fine dining), water storage(because dehydration is not a personality trait), and protection (for when a rando gets a little too friendly at a truck stop).
Join Bunny (@bunnyandbeyond) & Kyla (@vanboozled) as we roast the biggest van life mistakes, spill the tea on what you actually need, and probably get into a petty argument or two (because what’s a podcast without a little drama?).

How do these two worlds collide? What’s easier—constant travel or city dwelling? And how did we end up living in vans in the first place? We’re diving into our van builds, our struggles, our wins, and the weirdest experiences we’ve had on the road.
