Prepping for the Urban Woman / Urban Lady Prepper

Today we hit 30,000 audio downloads and 75,000 YouTube views! THANK YOU!

Whether you found me here or there, this is ours. Over 100K people choosing preparedness over panic - single moms, solo women, urban dwellers — people who don't see themselves in "doomsday prepper" media.

While this milestone may not seem like a big deal to many (I know some creators make these numbers with one download or video), I'm glad that my message in this little corner of the world has resonated with you. I appreciate your comments, emails, and feedback!


If you've been here a while, tell a friend.
If you're new: Welcome! Dive in, hit me up with any questions.

So...What do you want me to tackle next? Let me know!

Prepping for the Urban Woman / Urban Lady Prepper

Hey everyone!

I have to confess - the shift of going from audio-only to video has been...disappointing. There is an ongoing conversation about how audio podcasters are wary of moving to video, and having lived it, I get it.

Yes, it was good for folks to see that I'm a real person, but it hasn't moved the needle much in terms of getting new viewers or subscribers. The shorts are doing better, but I don't put the time and effort into episodes that rarely hit 15 minutes, only to get less than 1k views from a short clip that may not always retain the context or make them listen to the entire episode or subscribe.

So, as you can see from the last video, I'm going back to being faceless, but using more graphics, vid clips and whatnot to keep it visually interesting. Apparently, putting my pumpkin head on display has only made the algorithm like me even less LOL…

I love what I do, and I love the folks who have been following along, subscribing, liking, commenting, and sharing. So I would like your feedback on this. What are your thoughts? Your honest responses not only helps me but other audio-only podcasters wondering if it's a move they should make.

Sometimes it's frustrating that I'm not getting the reach I'd like when I'm working so hard to get such important info out. But seeing this and the awesome comments from you guys viewing the channel makes it worth it. THANK YOU!

Prepping for the Urban Woman / Urban Lady Prepper

I celebrated my birthday last Monday and I can't believe how fast this year is flying by. Another year older and I still haven't won the lottery or bagged Jason Momoa or Michael B. Jordan (yes, I'm practical AF but I still have my fantasies and I'm a Werewolf girl, but I'm open to certain vampires...and any member of BTS). Anyways, it was so nice to see the likes and reviews you guys have left, it truly warmed my heart. Thank you all so very much!! If this post seems weird I've had a couple of drinks and I'm in my feelings about some things, but at least - for a short time anyway - it's about good things. I wish the same for all of you. Enjoy those flights of fancy while they last during this dark chapter!

Have a great week. Find hope and pleasure where you can.

One big part of ULP is my newsletter. I search for underreported news that will impact us, present it in an easy-to-read format, and send it out every Monday. You can subscribe for free to read it; it contains general news, food news, and other information, such as scams and gardening tips.

Check it out on my Substack at open.substack.com/pub/urbanladyprepper/p/ulp-newle…

The newsletter is free, and there is also a $5/month subscription for my 2x/week prepping articles, should you decide to bump up. I do give a generous preview with the free subscription, so you get a quick synopsis of what the articles are about, and you can decide to go paid for the deeper dive (gotta keep the lights on, ya'll!)

Thanks for listening, watching, and reading. I appreciate you!

Prepping for the Urban Woman / Urban Lady Prepper

It's finally happening. My next podcast, uploaded this Sunday, will be a real video with me speaking. Yes, you will get to see my actual face and more of my body than I would like. No, I won't be juggling grenades, injecting memes, or sticking in funny sounds. It will just be me hoping it isn't terrible. But I'm weary of people (and perhaps the algorithm) thinking I'm AI. And getting the message out about preparedness is more important than my dislike of being on camera because I'm awkward AF.

It's the 100th episode of my podcast, and I've surpassed 20k downloads in under 2 years. It's nothing on YouTube, but from what I understand, in the podcasting world, that's great. I'll take it.

I used to be a semi-pro musician, so you would think I'd be all about the spotlight, but I'm a bass player. We just want to drink and make people shake their butts. We leave all the showboating to the lead singer (who we're always rolling our eyes at) and the guitar player (who we always have to tell to turn down) and keep the drummer (who is basically an oversized toddler) in check. It's a dirty, thankless job LOL...

Anyway, I'm thinking about including a Prepping Q&A as part of the episode, so if anyone reading this has any preparedness questions you'd like me to answer, leave them below with your handle (or not, if you want to be anonymous) and I'll include them in the episode. Thanks!

And answering this will help me, too - what would you like from me now that I'll be on camera?

After my website crash, my blog, of which I had 100+ articles since 2024, disappeared off of the web. The minus - Having to salvage all of them. The plus - I've moved to Substack and will start reposting them from the beginning. Heck, the info will be new to many, and it will give me the chance to revisit and update them.
I've gotten a couple of articles up so far, and tomorrow's is titled, "Your Daily Life is Your Disaster Rehearsal." It's about shifting your priorities because, as I say in the aritcle, "keeping up with the Joneses won't keep you alive."

You can read part of it for free here:

So, here's a question for preppers old and new: What was the hardest mental shift when you decided to start prepping?

Prepping for the Urban Woman / Urban Lady Prepper

I have an episode about this but with the 3rd "No Kings" Protest scheduled for tomorrow, I wanted to provide some safety tips for those who will be participating:


- Always stay aware of your surroundings. Trust your instincts and keep your phone charged. Bring a power bank along for backup.


- Got a plan? Let someone know where you’ll be. When things get heated, having an exit strategy is crucial for your safety.


- Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and high-protein snacks! You never know how long you’ll be on your feet during a protest.


- Know how to get around. If you're not familiar with the area, bring a printout in case your phone loses power or the internet goes out.


- Keep your ID and some cash handy. It’s better to be prepared than caught off-guard in heated situations.


- Know your rights! Understanding what you can and can’t do during protests helps you stay safe and informed.


- If you’re caught in a crowd, move with it and try to stay on the outside to avoid injury and make it easier to move away, especially if you have young ones with you. Don’t push against the flow.


- Protests can get loud! Earplugs can help protect your ears and keep you focused on staying safe and aware.


- Stay connected! Use social media or text groups to stay up to date on real-time updates and safety information.


- Avoid confrontation. If tensions rise, it’s okay to step back to stay safe. Your voice is powerful even from a distance.


- Stay calm and collected. Deep breaths can help you think clearly and make the best decisions for your safety.
