Perfect book for my big plans

I’ve been curious about homesteading for a while, but a lot of the stuff out there either feels too advanced or like you have to already live off-grid with goats. This book felt more like someone walking you through it step by step, without the pressure to do everything at once. I appreciated how it included things like budgeting, small-space gardening, and even building a support system. It made the idea feel more manageable, not like some huge leap. I’m not rushing into anything, but now I feel like I could actually take a few steps in that direction and not feel totally lost.

I really enjoyed how approachable this audiobook made homesteading feel. Whether you live in the suburbs or have a bit of land, the tips on gardening, rainwater harvesting, and self-sufficiency are doable and empowering.
