In this heartfelt and practical episode, Wendi shares what she wishes she knew before grinding her own wheat—along with a few flour-covered mistakes she made along the way. From growing up in a home where her mom ground wheat with a stone grinder to learning (and relearning) how to make her own nourishing bread, Wendi walks you through the most common beginner questions, myths, and mindset shifts around using whole wheat. She even touches on why soaking flour or grain matters and how to get started without feeling overwhelmed. This episode will encourage you, make you laugh, and maybe give you the nudge you need to open that big bucket of wheat in your pantry.
