]]> My Failure Taught Me This About Preparedness Wendi Bergin 00:20:30 Wendi shares a very real (and slightly painful) lesson from a Caribbean cruise where she forgot one very important thing… sunscreen. Through sunburn struggles, herbal improvisation using tea, and a surprising moment involving improperly sealed jam, this episode highlights how preparedness isn’t just about emergencies. It’s about mindset, awareness, and the skills you carry with you wherever you go. This light, story-driven episode reminds us that even when we mess up, our knowledge and experience can step in and help us take care of ourselves and others.

After hearing people joke for years about showing up at her home during a crisis, she explores the deeper mindset behind that statement and why it matters.

Preparedness isn’t about fear or hoarding supplies. It’s about becoming someone who is useful, capable, and ready to contribute when life becomes difficult.

In This Episode

• Why the phrase “I’m coming to your house if something happens” reveals a deeper mindset
• The concept of capacity in homes, families, and communities
• Why preparedness is about more than food storage
• How skills increase the strength of a community
• The difference between showing up as a burden or showing up as help
• Why mindset, character, and emotional resilience are also preparedness skills
• Lessons from homesteading and community living
• A hopeful invitation to start learning and building self-reliance

Key Takeaway

Preparedness is not about hiding away with supplies.

Preparedness is about becoming someone who is useful when things get hard.

• Why buying within your means creates a more peaceful homesteading journey
• How learning homesteading skills before buying land can set you up for success
• Simple ways skills like gardening, food preservation, and herbs can grow into income opportunities on your property

Wendi also shares stories from her own homesteading journey and explains why she became a Realtor to help others find property that truly supports the life they want to build.

If you are dreaming about land, gardens, chickens, or a future homestead, this episode will help you think through the foundation before you buy.

Canning competitions aren’t just about ribbons. They’re about courage, skill stacking, community, and stewardship.

As Chairperson of the Food Preservation Division at the Florida Strawberry Festival, Wendi shares what really happens behind the scenes — from checking processing times to guiding judges through taste evaluations.

What Wendi Learned This Year

Many new canners don’t realize food has changed over time

Modern tomatoes are often lower in acid than older varieties

USDA guidelines evolve because food and agriculture evolve

pH matters because botulism cannot grow in high acid foods

Water bath vs pressure canning isn’t optional — it’s science

Modified recipes require modified processing methods

Jars must be washed after processing and rings removed before storage

Clean, classic flavors often win over complex combinations

Common Mistakes That Lead to Disqualification

Incorrect processing times

Using water bath when pressure canning is required

Adding low-acid ingredients like corn or extra onions without adjusting processing

Not following jar size guidelines

Leaving rings on and failing to wash jars after sealing

Behind the Judging Table

Judging is social and collaborative. Judges talk, compare notes, and influence each other. Over three years, a pattern has emerged:

Simple, balanced, classic flavors tend to win.

Strawberry jam.
Apple jelly.
Clean Christmas jam.

That doesn’t mean creative flavors are wrong. It simply means familiar flavors are easier for a group to agree on.

Wendi’s Encouragement

Entering a competition is skill stacking in action:

Learning to can

Following a tested recipe

Filling out paperwork

Showing up prepared

Receiving feedback

Even if you don’t win, you gain:

Confidence

Experience

Community connection

Improved technique

And that matters more than the ribbon.

Why Wendi wanted the survival side of Survivor, not just gameplay

The bathroom reality: no toilet paper, “Coconut Grove,” and leaf roulette

The pre game survival briefing and what it does and does not teach you

Fire making in Fiji, and why moisture makes everything harder

Why digging a fire pit is basically impossible on volcanic rock

The rule about losing flint, and how banking embers can save you

Wildlife risks and what they warned contestants about

The surprising reason bigger fish are discouraged

What they actually ate: crabs, small fish, worms, and the hunt for fruit

Food allergies on the island and how that changes everything

The stingray moment: how it was caught, how it was killed, and how it got ruined

Bug bites, scent differences, and why some people get wrecked and others do not

Parasites, water concerns, and what contestants do after the show

The deeper lesson Liz brought home: receiving grace, not just giving it

Wendi’s closing message: skills are a bank account that never depletes

Memorable moments and quotes

“Survivor is real baby. They do not give you toilet paper.”

“Do not boil a stingray.”

“Skills are what brings freedom.”

“You can never deplete the reservoir of skills.”

Listener question

Would you go on Survivor?
Be honest. Indoor toilets matter.

    ]]>     How to Start Homesteading Without Land Wendi Bergin 00:18:37 You don’t need land to be a homesteader. You need skills. In this episode, Wendi gently reframes what homesteading really is and who it’s for. Drawing from her childhood, her mom’s garden, and her own journey learning and practicing skills, she shares why homesteading has never been about a property or a label. It has always been about learning how to feed people, care for a home, and build confidence through doing. Wendi walks through three things she would do differently if she were starting out today, focusing on skill-building as self-care, starting with food, and getting close to mentors sooner. Along the way, she reminds listeners that confidence comes from practice, not perfection, and that homesteading skills travel with you no matter where you live. If you’ve ever wondered whether you “count” as a homesteader, this episode is a warm reminder that you probably already are. You don’t need land to be a homesteader. You need skills.

Instead of forcing goals or rushing a fresh start, we do something softer and more realistic: a homestead reset. We walk through three simple categories — keep, release, pause — to clear space in your mind, your home, and your heart before the new year begins.

    In this episode:
    • why resets feel better than resolutions
    • how tiny habits and “showing up” actually built your year
    • what worked for you in 2025 (hint: more than you think)
    • how releasing expectations makes room to breathe
    • pausing without quitting
    • why January is a recovery month for moms
    • how journaling keeps you honest about your growth

    Simple reflection invitation:
    Write down 3 things you’ll keep, 3 you’ll release, and 3 you’ll pause as you move into 2026.
    That tiny list is a reset. It’s space. It’s permission.

    Reminder:
    The Joyfully Prepared New Year begins February 1st.
    January is for recovery, naps, leftovers, and slower days.

Instead of racing into a new year with pressure and perfection, we take a calm moment to figure out what we want to keep, release, and pause so we can walk into 2026 feeling lighter and more grounded. I share how this practice helped me through a year of goals, disappointments, growth, health challenges, and ongoing learning. You’ll hear real-life examples of how journaling, reflection, and tiny daily habits shaped my year more than any giant plan ever could.

As I looked back, I realized something surprising. My life changed in big, meaningful ways I never planned, and I would have forgotten most of it if I hadn’t written it down.

    This episode is an invitation to slow down and notice what actually changed in your life, even if your goals didn’t turn out the way you expected. Growth doesn’t always look like accomplishment. Sometimes it looks like becoming kinder to yourself, stronger in your faith, or more aware of what truly matters. You’re not behind. You’re becoming. And that kind of growth matters.

    “Making” is a form of grounding and emotional reset.

    The kitchen (or any creative space) can become a personal sanctuary.

    Skill-building strengthens self-reliance: first yourself, then family, then community.

    Bread baking teaches patience, nourishment, and unseen transformation.

    Preparedness is not fear—it’s calm readiness.

    Story Highlights

    Bartering fire cider for plants with a regenerative gardener.

    “I am a maker.” Naming what lights you up.

    Bread as a teacher of patience, presence, and provision.

    🔨 Simple Steps to Try

    Identify your sanctuary spot (kitchen, garden, studio, gym).

    Schedule 30 minutes a week to make or create something there.

    Notice how your mind quiets while your hands move.

    Journal what brings you the most calm and energy.

But sometimes the best remedies are the simple, old-fashioned ones already in your kitchen. 🌿

    In this episode of the Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi Bergin shares the three herbal preparations every mom needs to know:

    🧅 Onion Poultice – a soothing chest remedy that helps ease congestion and promote rest.

    🧄 Garlic Honey – nature’s antibiotic paired with honey’s throat-soothing sweetness.

    🍵 Herbal Teas – calming, immune-supporting blends like chamomile, peppermint, sage, and thyme.

    Along the way, Wendi tells the story of how she supported her daughter through a tough illness with these time-tested remedies (plus a few extras like elderberry syrup, mullein, and manuka honey). You’ll hear the practical tips, the “mom hacks” (hello, freeze-dried onions at 4am!), and the encouragement you need to feel more confident caring for your family naturally.

    A reminder that rest isn’t failure

    What baseball taught me about streaks and starting again

    A few of my personal wins (and sweat-soaked Florida thoughts)

    Gentle journal prompts to help you reflect and rest

    Why being loved has nothing to do with productivity

    She shares how preparedness runs deep in her family history—from her grandfather’s 1,800 jars of food in 1938, to her own teenage canning adventures. But she also gets honest about how, as a young mom, her preparedness message was once rooted in fear and “doom and gloom.”

    A single question from a friend during a playdate forced Wendi to rethink everything: “Why do you always talk about the doom and gloom?”

    That moment planted the seed for change.

    Today, she explains how she transformed her approach, why she believes preparedness is an act of love and faith, and why failure (and laughter) have an essential place in this lifestyle.

    Whether you’re new to preparedness or a seasoned homesteader, this episode is an invitation to trade panic for planning, fear for faith, and perfectionism for grace.

    Listen in and discover:

    Why success isn’t as funny (or as helpful) as failure

    How being prepared can bring real peace of mind

    The importance of letting go of control and making space for grace

    Why you deserve to be joyfully prepared

    Join Wendi for an honest, encouraging conversation that will remind you: you can’t plan for everything—but you can always choose to show up with love.

    • She shares how she slipped into unhealthy patterns:
    • Never letting her kids experience consequences
    • Neglecting her own physical and emotional needs
    • Skipping connection with her husband
    • Believing no one else could handle things “right”
    • Caring too much about what other moms thought — and silently judging in return

    Wendi opens up about how a painful, life-shattering moment forced her to face what she was really worshipping — and how God began gently showing her that motherhood was never meant to be an idol.

    If you’ve ever felt crushed under the weight of motherhood or struggled to put God first, this episode is here to remind you: you don’t have to carry it all.

    Reflection Questions to Journal:

    1. Where in your life are you carrying more than God asked you to?
      Are there places you’ve taken on too much, thinking it’s all up to you?
    2. Are you wearing a badge of martyrdom, like I did?
      Where are you silently sacrificing, hoping it proves your love or worth?
    3. Are you rescuing others at the cost of your own peace or well-being?
      Where might you be stepping in to fix or save, when it’s not actually your responsibility?
    4. Where have you been caring in unhealthy ways — hoping it will be “enough” to prove you’re a good mom, wife, or woman?
    5. What small area of your life might God be inviting you to gently release back to Him?
      Where can you start by loosening your grip, just a little?

    About Martine:

    My lifestyle mindset of health and wellness began when I witnessed my mother go from being a professional go-getter to having a stroke and becoming dependent on others. My trial showed me how women need to focus on destressing and taking care of their entire being. I completed my studies at Dawson College and Barry University in Miami, Florida, where I was successful in earning a Doctoral of Nursing Practice.

    I have over 27 years of experience in my field and have an online course, alongside my best-selling book, workbook, and Podcast. I am a public speaker, and I was featured on WFLA Channel 8 BLOOM, where my expertise and devotion were highlighted to impact others in the community and beyond. Inspired by God, my mother, and Dr. Maya Angelou, I travel the world and am intentional about gaining wisdom that allows me to serve others.

    • Robin's childhood traumas and the strategies she employs to rebuild her confidence.
    • In what ways did Robin's experience with breast cancer contribute to her personal growth and transformation?
    • Embracing emotions and self-discovery.
    • The Enneagram approach and how it facilitates understanding of different personality types.
    • And much more!

     

    About Robyn:

    TO ACCEPT OUR UNIQUENESS AND EMBRACE WHO WE ARE.

    For many years, I was involved in advocacy work, dealing with differing opinions and diverse groups, using conflict resolution skills, and getting results.

    I was then diagnosed with breast cancer, and that shifted both my perspective and direction in life. I learned what was most important to me and how living my life for myself changed everything. 

    It wasn't a lesson or journey about loss, I had already experienced that many times in my life. It was a lesson about reconnecting to my spirit. I believe we must take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

    • What causes flooding in certain areas?
    • How will you know if the property is a flood-prone area?
    • Things you should consider before buying a house.
    • Why is flood insurance important for homeowners?

    About George:

    As a former weatherman and reporter, I've covered countless stories about people who lost everything in natural disasters. Every year, people lose their homes, and many rebuild the exact same way. Most people have no idea if their insurance will actually get them whole again after a major disaster. If they have to evacuate and their house is destroyed, many of the things that were lost can never be replaced. We roll the dice on where we live with no true sense of what the hazards really are. When you watch The Last House Standing, you’ll meet people who are living a nightmare, and it doesn’t have to be this way.

    This film is a wake-up call to everyone that we need to take control of our destiny and do whatever we can to protect our homes and lives.

    We live in a world where everyone races to be first, but when it comes to your home, you want to be the last house standing.

    • Matthew strongly expresses the deep connection between leadership and love.
    • How can you demonstrate leadership to yourself?
    • Why is it said the most difficult person to lead is oneself?

    About Matthew:

    Matthew has enjoyed broad international and intercultural experience in leadership, educational, and consulting roles in Italy, Ireland, England, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico as a Catholic Priest and served as a special Staff Officer and Chaplain in the United States Navy supporting both Sailors and Marines.

    To those who have worked with him, Matthew is known to be much more than an executive coach. The 10th of 13 children from small-town New England (no TV at home!), he has more than 30 years of experience in the field of personal, professional, and intercultural leadership development. As a highly versatile coach, advisor, mentor, educator, and confidant, he is considered by some to be a human version of a sophisticated Swiss Army Knife any senior leader would want close by as they strive to properly navigate and excel in multiple areas of personal and professional leadership while safeguarding priorities. He is a frequent podcast guest, given his depth and breadth of knowledge of the human experience and his honest and vulnerable approach during his interviews.

    About Debbie:

    The Effortless Kitchen began as a passion project in 2019. Chef Debbie Brosnan started offering personal chef services, providing tasty dinners for her clients in their own kitchens. When COVID-19 started to shut down the US in March of 2020, Debbie had to quickly transition her business to accommodate the ever-changing climate. She began offering virtual cooking classes as a way to provide customers with something fun and healthy while also giving her audience a social outlet.

    Chef Debbie’s live (virtual on Zoom) and recorded cooking classes help you create easy farm-to-table dinners - no matter what your cooking experience is! Her menus focus on whole foods and healthy ingredients using simple recipes that have been passed down from her family or inspired by local restaurants. She has a diverse understanding of dietary substitutions that can accommodate most food allergies and sophisticated palates. Whether you are a master in the kitchen or just starting to cook at home, you will learn something. The easy meals you will make in Chef Debbie’s cooking classes are better than takeout for both your body and your wallet.

    About Candace:

    Candace is a survivor of over 16 years of domestic violence. She’s divorced and thanks God for it every day. During that time in her life, she wasn't allowed to have anything that was hers. She wasn't allowed to do a lot of things while under the rule of thumb of her abuser.

    When her abuser abandoned them, she looked around her home and the walls were bare like they always were, but they were filled with abuse and sadness, tears and anger and yelling…so much fear.

    That’s when she started creating her “happy little places.” She walked around her house and gathered what she had. She went to the store and for little money purchased plants and pictures and set them up in the corners of her home. These happy little places have inspired her daughters to do the same in their rooms. Creating happiness doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.

    She’s an inspiration of resilience and the power to overcome.

    About Brandon:

    Brandon Bailey with his family is a first-generation farmer in Central Florida, specializing in beef, pork, chicken, duck, and turkey to their local community and beyond. They started with a pet potbellied pig and some chickens and soon fell in love with caring for the animals. They got with some friends and decided to expand and make this dream a reality. They fenced in a little bit of the backyard. They were on fifty acres, and built a coop, ordered chicks, ducks, and geese, and decided to raise their own meat. After tasting their own harvested chickens, they were sold. They dove into school, videos, education, book, the list goes on and on, and they made this with the help of God an absolute reality. They are unapologetic and intentional in all their farming practices.

    About Brandon:

    Brandon Bailey with his family is a first-generation farmer in Central Florida, specializing in beef, pork, chicken, duck, and turkey to their local community and beyond. They started with a pet potbellied pig and some chickens and soon fell in love with caring for the animals. They got with some friends and decided to expand and make this dream a reality. They fenced in a little bit of the backyard. They were on fifty acres, and built a coop, ordered chicks, ducks, and geese, and decided to raise their own meat. After tasting their own harvested chickens, they were sold. They dove into school, videos, education, book, the list goes on and on, and they made this with the help of God an absolute reality. They are unapologetic and intentional in all their farming practices.

    About Suzanne:

    She empowers people to naturally transform their stress and reconnect with their bodies & their lives.

    Suzanne’s personal struggle with chronic anxiety and emotional eating led her to seek alternative approaches that helped her shed layers of dysfunction, drop hundreds of pounds and use anxiety meds.

    Along the way, she uncovered her value and now lives with self-honor, compassion, and grit & grace.

    In her stress relief toolbox, she uses Neuro-Energy Tapping (her unique style) and Somatic Self-Regulation Techniques (including TRE- Trauma Release Exercises, Somatic Orienting, Vagal Toning exercises, and SSP- Safe & Sound Protocol).

    Her approach helps people reprogram their stress and rewire their brain and nervous system for well-being.

    You've got to go in to get out, and you too can transform!

    Her stress relief mentoring, online workshops, treatment center, and corporate team programs have helped thousands embody the wisdom to respond, manage and recover from stress for the rest of their lives.

    She speaks nationally in "Get Empowered with Neuro-Energy Tapping", “Innovative Brain Body Techniques for Trauma Healing”, and teaches workshops (‘Intro to Neuro-Energy Tapping’, ‘Gentle Stretch & Stress Relief with TRE’ and more.)

    About Lisa:

    In 2009 when America’s economy hit rock bottom, Lisa knew she had to take action if her family faced a long-term job loss. Layoffs and bankruptcies were everywhere.

    She knew it could happen to them.

    She had no experience preparing for something like that, so she learned how to prepare just in case the worst happened. It didn’t take long before she ended up in preppers and survivalism, and she learned a lot. But she also learned much of the information that wasn’t a good fit for her family.

    As a former teacher, corporate trainer, and writer, she decided to start a blog and write about her prepping adventures. The Survival Mom blog was born.

    Lisa has been featured in Newsweek, NPR, the Today Show and Fox News, and many others.

    She helps moms learn how to prepare and equip their families for those critical moments when life hits you hard, and there’s no time to figure out what to do.

    She’s the mom of two homeschooled kids and the wife of a very patient man!

    About Lisa:

    In 2009 when America’s economy hit rock bottom, Lisa knew she had to take action if her family faced a long-term job loss. Layoffs and bankruptcies were everywhere.

    She knew it could happen to them.

    She had no experience preparing for something like that, so she learned how to prepare just in case the worst happened. It didn’t take long before she ended up in preppers and survivalism, and she learned a lot. But she also learned much of the information that wasn’t a good fit for her family.

    As a former teacher, corporate trainer, and writer, she decided to start a blog and write about her prepping adventures. The Survival Mom blog was born.

    Lisa has been featured in Newsweek, NPR, the Today Show and Fox News, and many others.

    She helps moms learn how to prepare and equip their families for those critical moments when life hits you hard, and there’s no time to figure out what to do.

    She’s the mom of two homeschooled kids and the wife of a very patient man!

Stay tuned! false full 1     53fc4b93-235d-4258-a67b-39b68274c3b6 Preparedness is in my DNA Hi there!  I’m Wendi Bergin the host of Joyfully Prepared.  I’m so thankful that you’ve taken the time to listen to this podcast.  I named the podcast Joyfully Prepared because I believe that becoming more prepared and self-reliant is a journey of abundance and self-discovery. 

    I grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia.  My dad is from there as well as my grandparents.  Preparedness is actually embedded in my DNA.  Back in 1938, the leader of my grandparents’ church encouraged its members to put up two years’ worth of food and supplies.  Over the next couple of years, my grandma and her mother-in-law canned 1800 jars worth of food.  My grandfather had his own business as a landscaper and tree surgeon.  He put up two years’ worth of any supplies he might need to keep his business running: tired, chains, parts.

    In 1941, the United States entered World War II and all the industry in the country went to support the war effort.  Because of my grandparents’ efforts to preserve and grow their own food, they never needed to use one of their ration stamps.  Grandpa stayed in business, where others in his industry were not able to. 

    Because of their experiences, they raised my father to with a preparedness mindset.  

    My mother is the youngest of nine children and grew up in Idaho.  They didn’t have a lot of money but she was taught by her mother how to grow a large garden and preserve the harvest. How to sew and quilt.  They had their own root cellar. (Mom says it was scary going down there by herself.)  They raised their own cattle and had a milk cow. She didn’t like doing that either.  Her parents were fiercely self-reliant and taught her by their example.

    I’m really so grateful for my heritage in so many ways.  

    Although, my parents taught me by their example, I have ventured out on my own to learn how to develop skills.  I have to say, most of my learning has come from my mistakes.  I’m happy to laugh at them and share them with you.  Hopefully, you’re learning curve will be a little less steep.  

    I’m married to a husband named Sam.  I have seven children.  I’ve been homeschooling for about 13 years and just love to learn all sorts of new things.  We’ve grown gardens, bred and raised dairy goats, processed our own meat chickens, hatched chick and raised laying hens.  We have a couple of dogs and cats.  I love to forage for wild edibles and learn how to make natural remedies.  I know a lot about a few things and a little about a lot of things.

    Again, I’m so grateful you’re here and can’t wait to get to know you better.  From time to time we’ll have guests on to learn from them as well.
