🎥 How a Cruise-Loving Couple is Using YouTube (and Grounded Life Courses) to Chase Their Travel Dream
Imagine trading winter coats for cruise robes. Snow shovels for sun decks. Commutes for cocktails on a balcony cabin.
That’s the vision — and thanks to a couple of powerful courses from Grounded Life, we’re sailing full steam ahead.
If you’ve ever dreamed about retiring early, traveling more, or creating something fun (and potentially profitable) with your spouse… this might just be your boarding call.
🚀 The Courses That Sparked It All
We started our YouTube journey in June 2025 as a blended family with seven kids (yes, seven!). Now that we’re not far from becoming empty nesters, we’re thinking BIG.
Cruising full-time. Traveling like snowbirds. And building something together that gives us freedom, purpose, and plenty of sunscreen.
📘 Retirement Travel Jumpstart
This course teaches you how to design a life of slow, meaningful travel — before you hit traditional retirement age. Perfect for folks looking to travel smarter and sooner.

🎬 YouTube After 40
Think you’re too old to start a YouTube channel? Pfft. This course breaks down everything step-by-step — from setting up your channel to building an audience and making content that actually gets watched.
🧳 Want Both? Bundle and Save
The smart move? Get both and save! The bundle comes with both courses plus coaching and community support.
💑 Our Weekly Ritual: Filming Day = Date Day
Here’s a tip for all the couples thinking of launching a channel together: make your filming day your date day.
Once a week, we get dressed up, do our hair (maybe not Adam…) and spend the evening filming cruise content together. After we wrap? We go out! Sometimes it’s dinner, sometimes just coffee and a walk — but it’s become one of our favorite weekly traditions. Filming day feels more like fun than work.
📊 One Month In: Our Journey So Far
Since launching, we’ve created weekly videos filled with cruise tips, laughs, and real-life moments. The feedback has been amazing — we’ve connected with incredible people and built real momentum that fuels us week after week.
We’re not sharing income numbers yet — because this isn’t about instant results. It’s about staying encouraged, showing up, and chasing the dream of travel. And we want to bring others along for the journey.
🧭 Why You Should Join Us
If you’ve ever:
- Dreamed about full-time travel

🔖 Final Thought
We’re just getting started. We’ve got seven amazing kids, big dreams and a YouTube channel growing one video at a time.
If you’ve got a dream tugging at you — whether it’s a life of travel, a channel of your own, or just the desire to do something new and meaningful — take the leap.
You’ll thank yourself when you’re sipping iced coffee or mimosas on a balcony deck instead of scraping ice off your windshield.
