I responded by learning how systems actually function, where households quietly lose control, and what creates stability that doesn’t rely on everything going smoothly. I began testing these ideas in my own life — through food, finances, skills, and family setup - and sharing what worked.
Over time, that work grew into a community of people, from all over the world, actively building greater self-sufficiency from wherever they are. Today, I lead Provision Planner, a self-sufficiency app designed to help households understand and strengthen their independence, and I regularly teach thousands of people how to add meaningful resilience to their lives without extremes or fear.
So I started building differently, so others could follow.
I had my first child just days into the full global shutdown. Looking back, one thing is exceptionally clear: Many families had their basic needs on the line - food, time, access, security. Systems hesitated. Certainty disappeared. And it became clear how dependent modern life had quietly become on everything going right.
Thankfully, I started my journey prior and even though my progress was humble, my conviction that our investment in our family's independence was more important than ever.
I didn’t respond by checking out or sounding alarms. I responded by going even deeper on building, and testing what actually creates stability - first for my own family, then more broadly. This was all right where we were without ever relocating. It was just a young family in the middle of the suburbs making it work.
This didn't begin as a brand or platform.
