Homesteading ideas for a Joyful Life: Joyfully Prepared

Homesteading Idea for a Joyful Life: Joyfully Prepared is a podcast for moms and women who want to build real-life readiness without fear. Host Wendi Bergin shares simple, practical skills—from canning and gardening to herbal remedies and emergency planning—all rooted in faith, family, and joyful living.

Wendi believes preparedness is an act of stewardship and trust in God, not panic. She keeps it real (and often a little messy), helping you feel confident caring for your family no matter what life throws your way.

Join in for honest conversations, practical tips, and encouragement to embrace a faith-filled, prepared life—one joyful step at a time.
