Hey! I'm Brittany!
My motto is preparedness = peace. I have found in my life that preparing for emergencies by stocking up on food storage, essential supplies, and growing your savings account brings incredible amounts of peace.
Years ago, my husband and I faced a challenging financial crisis. We had three young children, and felt overwhelmed. Luckily, a few years before, I had felt impressed to build up our food storage supply. During this time, we relied heavily on the items that we had stored. I am so thankful we had built up a reserve of food. Whenever I would pull a food storage item off the shelf to make a meal for my family, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude.
The truth is, you can’t eat money! But you can prepare for any emergency. My mission is to show you how to start your food storage journey and gain the peace of mind that food storage and emergency preparedness bring through hard times.

What do healthy boundaries, mental health, grocery budgeting, and food storage have to do with each other?
Earlier today I tried to record myself talking about my thoughts on these topics, but the truth is, I am much better with my words when I can write them out and think through them. Also, I am very awkward on camera, it’s not my favorite thing 😅🤓💀.
I have shared recently that I have been struggling with depression. Depression is not a new challenge in my life, it is something I have dealt with to varying degrees since I was a teenager.
Recently my depression symptoms have hit me like a ton of bricks. For me, I experience exhaustion, lack of motivation, and feeling anxious. It's been a LONG time since I had felt depression symptoms like this.
I see a doctor and a therapist, and my husband and I have lots of open and honest conversations.
For me, I am not experiencing depression in ways people traditionally think of depression. I am not sad, I am not having a mental health crisis, and I am very aware of my emotions.
I have had years of helpful therapy to learn healthy coping tools and to be able to identify when I am experiencing stronger symptoms than normal.
Over the past little while I have had the opportunity (& challenge) of needing to set some difficult boundaries. I have felt stretched thin with all that is on my plate.
I have certain aspects of my life right now where I HAVE (and want) to show up in the best ways possible. Between my family, my 12-year-old's schooling this year, my church youth volunteer work, and my new website I feel like I am juggling many big important things. These are all areas where I want to show up as fully as possible.
I am a person who cares deeply about other people's feelings, which has made learning how to set and keep healthy boundaries challenging for me.
Recently I have had to take a big step back from many things out of self-preservation. I only have so much to give and I have had to accept that stepping back in the ways I have needed will upset some people.
[I will share part 2, tomorrow]
