Val McQuiston
3 episodes
1 week ago

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the thought of being prepared? Do the topics of emergency plans, food storage, and finances feel too daunting to even start? You're not alone, and this podcast is for you. Welcome to Enough to Spare: The Self-Reliance Podcast, the show that takes the intimidation out of preparation and puts the power back in your hands.

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, building a foundation of resilience has never been more important. But true preparation isn't about fear; it's about peace of mind. We help normal, everyday people navigate the complexities of modern life by sharing practical, tactical tips for systematically becoming self-reliant. From mastering basic emergency preparedness and building a manageable food storage system to demystifying financial literacy, our goal is to empower you one small, achievable step at a time. We'll also dive into the vital, and often overlooked, aspects of spiritual growth and emotional resilience, teaching you how to cultivate an inner strength that is unbreakable, no matter the circumstances.

Each episode follows our unique Preparedness Protocol, a clear, step-by-step framework that guides you from "Ground Zero" all the way to "HERO" status—not as a superhuman, but as a confident, capable person ready for anything. We don’t just focus on the logistics; we explore the time-tested principles of living a truly good life. We'll share recommendations on good books, give you uplifting reminders, spark new ideas, and, most importantly, tell the real stories of real people—people just like you—who have made significant progress on their journey toward self-reliance.

Our conversations with various guests will give you an intimate look into their personal stories of becoming prepared, what motivated them, and the lessons they learned along the way. You’ll hear firsthand how they’ve cultivated a life with enough to spare—not just for themselves, but for their families and communities. The result? A profound sense of confidence, the joy of generosity, and a deeper, more abiding peace of mind.

By the end of each episode, you'll walk away with one or two actionable things you can do today to prepare, protect, and give back. We’re so glad you've joined our community, and we can’t wait to start this journey with you. Because having enough to spare isn't a destination—it’s a way of life.
