Welcome to Good For Us—the podcast where wellness meets real life, self-sufficiency is a journey, and preparedness doesn’t mean paranoia.

Some days, we’re baking sourdough, testing natural cleaning products, and researching the best non-toxic skincare. Other days, we’re eating boxed mac and cheese, forgetting to water our plants, and wondering if it really matters whether our soap is sulfate-free.
