Teaching fearless urban preparedness (prepping) for single moms & solo women. Ditch the 'doomsday' stigma and master real-life readiness with practical, intelligent survival advice. I'm Lynn Jordan, the Urban Lady Prepper, with a weekly podcast & blogs to help you own your safety and protect what matters most!
Tired of prepping advice that assumes you own a farmhouse and three acres? I'm Lynn Jordan, the Urban Lady Prepper, and this podcast is for you! Most prepper media ignores the reality of single moms and solo women living in the city or close suburbs—where space is limited and budgets are tight.
With a blend of grit, grace, and humor, I cut through the noise to deliver practical, no-nonsense, prepping strategies for urban life. Whether you’re facing a personal crisis, a major weather event, or the unimaginable, you CAN be ready!
Stop feeling uncertain. It's time to take control. While this train is built for the ladies, ALL are welcome to become better prepared for whatever happens next...

The visuals of preppers often show lone individuals or single families. Many preppers feel that the more people who know about your preps, the more you make yourself a target during an emergency. Can you prep discreetly while building community among like-minded people who see the value in preparedness? Listen to find out.
If you need a prepping mindset refresher, check out one of my first articles, “Prepping 101: A Practical Preparedness Start for Single Women” here.
This article of mine expands on my previous post about creating a supportive group of women.
Read my previous article, “The Power of Community: How to Face Challenges Collectively” specifically about preparing with your community here

Have you ever heard about preppers surviving natural disasters? Probably not. But…why is that? Have you ever shrugged and wondered, well, if they aren’t making it out of a disaster, why should I bother? The answer may surprise you, and hear my two experiences that will explain it.

Ladies, right now we are facing a five-alarm fire. As our rights diminish and awful men become more emboldened, it's easy to become disheartened and a little frightened, especially if we have kids. But half the battle is understanding how we got here. Listen for some perspective to help you decide how to prepare and even thrive.
Two of my earliest episodes, from June 2024, were "Men with Mics-The New He-Man Women Haters Club" and "Why Women Are #TeamBear." As a newbie, the audio quality was not good (you can check that out and see how much my audio has improved, LOL), and I eventually wanted to redo them. But, since the Toxic Masculinity epidemic has only gotten worse, it was time for an overall update on the topic. Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments!

In this episode of the Urban Lady Prepper, I take a quick detour from the usual prepper talk to focus on personal connections and the significance of nurturing your current human connections and finding your tribe. As we prepare for whatever comes next, fostering these bonds may be the key to not only surviving but thriving in the face of adversity.
