Imagine this.

You tell your family you’re going to buy a 47-foot yacht, and sail around the world for two years with your partner and three young kids. 

Bare in mind, 

  • You don’t have any sailing experience

  • You don’t have any money to buy a yacht

  • But what you do have, is a vision and a burning desire to make it happen

That’s exactly what happened to our guest today, Erin Carey.

A country girl from Wagga Wagga. Erin had established a comfortable life with her husband and three young boys. 

For 10+ years she worked for the Department of Defence. 

But Erin felt a ‘call for adventure’ yearning deep inside of her.

She knew she was destined for more… 

One night, 

Erin and her husband watched a documentary on Netflix that changed EVERYTHING.  

Within two years, she and her husband had:  

  • Saved $85k  

  • Bought a yacht in the Caribbean  

  • Packed up their three kids  

  • And set sail on a life-changing, two-year adventure

During this adventure of a life-time, Erin had the space to create and launch a business combining her love for travel and her unique expertise. 

And that’s when ‘Roam Generation’ was born. A PR company who works with travel, adventure & lifestyle brands all around the world. 

In our conversation, we dive deep into: 

  • How Erin started her PR biz from a boat  

  • The sacrifices they made to save $85k fast  

  • The wild learning curve of living on the ocean  

  • Why taking the leap gave her more financial & personal freedom than ever before  

  • And how you can break free from comfort & build a life that actually lights you up

Erin’s story is a masterclass in trusting your gut, backing your vision, and taking bold action before you're ready.

If you feel like you’re stuck in life, playing it safe, or yearning for something more… then let this conversation be your permission slip.

Life is too short not to go after what you truly want.
