For adventurers, creators, and dreamers forging their own path.

If the traditional white picket fence isn’t your jam, this is your space to build freedom, purpose, and a road-ready home that fits your lifestyle... entirely on your terms.

IS LIFE ON THE ROAD RIGHT FOR YOU?

TAKE THE QUIZ

West of Normal is a movement for truck lifers, road roamers, and wild-hearted wanderers who know freedom doesn’t live in a cubicle.

It’s a homebase for people carving out real lives from the road—through truck builds, remote work, solitude, and soul-level shifts. A place where off-grid living meets honest conversation, and where figuring it out is part of the point.

The podcast, community, and resources here weren’t made for influencers or polished #vanlife fantasies. They’re for the ones chasing stillness in motion, connection in the in-between, and self-sufficiency in whatever wild form it takes.

For those who left the map behind—and finally started listening to themselves.

Hey, I’m Adele—podcast host, off-grid creative, and founder of West of Normal.

I built a six-figure business from a truck camper, while chasing what felt true and ditching what didn’t. Now I share the tools, stories, and honest insight that helped me do it—and that still shape my life on the road.

This isn’t a blueprint. It’s a way of being. West of Normal is here for anyone figuring it out as they go, and doing it in a way that feels good, even if it doesn’t look like much from the outside.

Listen to the Podcast

West of Normal is a movement with a built-in toolbox.

A landing spot for folks living from the road, figuring it out in real time, and looking for support that doesn’t feel like a sales pitch.

This isn’t about going viral or faking freedom for the feed. It’s for the ones actually out here—rewiring rigs, chasing solitude, picking up a WIFI signal just long enough to upload the next thing that keeps the wheels turning.

We’re part grit, part glam, and all-in on building lives that don’t fit inside four walls.

If you’re cobbling together remote income, rethinking what success looks like, or learning to trust your own timing—you’re in the right place. This is for the builders, the roamers, the ones who stay wild even when the road gets rough.

From the Road Musings

Dispatches from the in-between—where breakdowns, breakthroughs, and big truths show up in the dust and silence.

My Book
(Coming Soon!)

Part memoir, part truck-stop theology. A look at rebuilding, loss, and what freedom really asks of us—told through the terrain that taught me.

INTRODUCING

the PODCAST Where Weird Wins

This is the podcast for the ones who never fit the mold—and never wanted to.

Broadcasting from my truck camper studio, this podcast is for the ones who live off-script and think sideways.

Each week, we share stories from people choosing the road, the rebuild, the quiet, the chaos—anything but the expected. We talk truck life, remote work, backroad wisdom, and what happens when you stop trying to fit in and start trusting your weird.

Buckle up, embrace your inner oddball, and let’s explore what lies West of Normal.
