Have you noticed how everyone seems to be talking about emergency preparedness lately? In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when I discovered the EU is recommending citizens keep three days of supplies on hand - and what that made me realize about my own (lack of) practical life skills! From my adventures in building veggie planter boxes despite not knowing the difference between nails and screws, to confronting my identity as a "non-handy" person, I'm taking you along on my journey of empowerment through learning basic survival skills. This isn't about panic - it's about building resilience in uncertain times.

What You'll Learn (In Regular Human Language!):

  • Why the EU is suddenly telling citizens to keep emergency supplies ready
  • What a "cyber pandemic" actually means (and why the World Economic Forum says it's inevitable)
  • My embarrassing confession about how little I know about basic household repairs
  • How learning to grow vegetables became my gateway to practical self-sufficiency
  • Why dropping old identities ("I'm not a gardener") is crucial for adapting to our changing world
  • Small steps you can take to feel more prepared without going full "prepper"

Key Moments:

  • [00:03] Introduction to the episode
  • [01:30] News about EU emergency preparedness recommendations
  • [03:45] The concept of a "cyber pandemic" and what it would mean
  • [07:20] My journey from gardening avoidance to building planter boxes
  • [11:50] How neurodivergence affects my approach to new skills
  • [15:35] Finding empowerment through small, practical changes
  • [19:10] Balancing technology dependence with real-world skills

Resources Mentioned:

  • BBC interview about building population resilience (link in substack)
