Homesteading Made Simple is a podcast about practical homesteading skills for real life. Homesteading looks a lot different in real life than it does on the internet, and this podcast is about making it feel doable. I’m Wendi, and each episode focuses on homesteading skills that actually fit into everyday life. We talk about gardening, food storage, food preservation, kitchen skills, preparedness, and self-reliance. The calm, common-sense kind. Not extreme. Not fear-based. You’ll also hear about real estate, land, and choosing homes that support homesteading and self-reliant living. Whether you’re dreaming of land, managing a backyard homestead, or simply making better decisions where you live, real estate plays a big role in the life you’re building. This podcast is practical, honest, and rooted in real experience. Some lessons go smoothly. Others are learned the hard way. Either way, the goal is the same. Build skills. Build confidence. Keep it simple. New episodes release regularly. Subscribe and start building homesteading skills that support a more prepared, capable life. On Homesteading Made Simple, you’ll hear conversations around questions like: How do I start homesteading when I don’t have land or a perfect setup? What homesteading skills actually matter most for everyday life? How do I build real homesteading skills without getting overwhelmed? What does modern homesteading look like for families today? How do gardening, food storage, and kitchen skills work together on a homestead? How can homesteading make life feel calmer, not harder? What does preparedness look like for homesteaders who don’t want to live in fear? How do I become more self-reliant through simple homesteading skills? How does real estate and land choice affect homesteading success? How do I build confidence and capability at home, one skill at a time?

I look forward to this podcast every week. Wendi keeps it simple, relatable and helps the listener apply what they learn. I like how she “tells it to you straight,” yet keeps it lighthearted and joyful.
Turned on an episode today about how our purpose is us and I loved every second. Wendy is funny, real, and wise. I’ve loved her from the moment I met her and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to leave from her in this podcast! Thank you for your words. They touched my heart today right when I needed it!
Listening to your podcast is just like chatting with you in your front yard! Thank you for a creating a wonderful resource for everyone!
I started listening because I want to learn more about how to be more prepared in all things. Wendi certainly delivers in those areas! Kinda fun how I start planning for a cross-country road trip, and then she drops an episode on that topic! More than the prepping tips, she also delivers her insights and words of inspiration for anyone listening. She said “Banish fear, but stepping into it!” Love this! Now to get my car kit together and download more episodes!
