    Homesteading Made Simple I Joyfully Prepared

    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?

    Radiant Living: Joyful Self-Care Practices--Martine Canal Jul 29, 2024
    Show notes

    Here's what to expect on the podcast:

    • Martine's life-changing event that led her to advocate self-care.

    • A personalized approach to self-care, as everyone's circumstances and needs are different.
    • Tips for staying motivated to keep your body moving.

    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.
