## Resource

Homesteading doesn’t start with land, money, or fancy tools. It starts with noticing. In this episode of the Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi shares a personal story about moving from New Jersey to Florida and realizing that the most valuable homesteading assets were not furniture, but the buckets, tools, and skills left behind. This conversation is about homesteading on a budget. Seeing the abundance already in your home and yard. Learning skills instead of buying stuff. And building confidence through creativity, determination, and resilience. From foraging and growing food to building with scraps and learning from mistakes, this episode gently reminds you that self-reliance grows one skill at a time.
