Preparedness Without Panic: How the Lawleys Turn Common Sense Into Everyday Resilience

Preparedness Pro

What if preparedness wasn’t about fear, but freedom? In this episode, I sit down with Krista and Mark Lawley, hosts of the popular Practical Prepping podcast, to talk about how they’ve turned common sense and everyday skills into a lifestyle of joyful self-reliance. With over 110,000 followers and nearly 500 episodes under their belts, the Lawleys share how they’ve built a global community, learned from homesteaders and preppers across cultures, and kept their approach free of the doom-and-gloom stereotype.

From weathering job losses and natural disasters to mastering water purification and making preparedness fun for the whole family, Krista and Mark show how being prepared isn’t about waiting for the worst—it’s about living your best life with confidence and calm, no matter what comes your way. Tune in for their practical wisdom, hilarious anecdotes (spoiler: they’ve got a thing for toilet paper stories), and inspiring take on why community and faith are key to preparedness that works.

This is the episode that proves preparedness is as normal—and necessary—as breathing. Don’t miss it!
