Homemaking 201: Intermediate Homemaking

Homemaking 201: Intermediate Homemaking

Author: Brittany Duncan February 23, 2026 Duration: 28:06

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our 4-part homemaking levels series—moving from Homemaking 101 (Foundations) into Homemaking 201: Intermediate Homemaking.

If you haven’t listened to last week’s foundation episode yet, I highly recommend starting there first. Homemaking isn’t something anyone is born knowing—it’s a set of skills we build over months, years, and decades. And even seasoned homemakers benefit from circling back to the basics when life gets chaotic.

Today, we’re leveling up across the categories of laundry, cleaning, food, budgeting, outdoor care, and entertaining—with practical steps you can start using right away.

Brittany Duncan hosts Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker, a podcast that digs into the quiet, satisfying work of building a life from the ground up. It’s for anyone who finds their calm in the rhythm of kneading dough or the feel of soil between their fingers, yet whose reality also includes inboxes and deadlines. Each episode feels like a conversation with a friend who gets it, weaving together practical tips from the garden and the kitchen with honest reflections on what it means to be a modern keeper of the home. You’ll hear about preserving a harvest from a small balcony plot, the lessons learned from a sourdough starter that refused to cooperate, and how to create a sense of sanctuary without sacrificing a career. This isn’t about perfection or a return to some mythical past; it’s about crafting a personal, intentional tradition that fits a contemporary life. The podcast explores how these seemingly small, daily acts of care-for our spaces, our food, and ourselves-can become a profound source of grounding and joy. Brittany’s perspective is that of a fellow traveler, sharing what she’s learned not as an expert, but as someone figuring it out season by season, making this a genuinely relatable listen for anyone drawn to the hearth but living in the real, bustling world.
