© 2026 Old Fashioned On Purpose
Description
We’ve gained a lot from modern life—but we’ve also lost something along the way. We’re more disconnected from our food, our hands, our communities, and the skills that once made everyday life feel grounded. On the Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast, bestselling author Jill Winger explores what’s still worth keeping from the old ways—and how to make it work in real life now. Expect conversations about from-scratch food, old-fashioned skills, entrepreneurship, home, land, and what it means to build a meaningful life without turning it into another impossible ideal.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I recognize the warning signs of overwhelm, the questions I ask when it's time to start cutting, and how the Pareto Principle helps me decide what actually deserves my ti...

I don't drink alcohol, and over the years, I've noticed that choosing not to drink alcohol often makes me seem like a bit of a countercultural weirdo in social situations. In this episode, I'm sharing my personal history with alcohol, why I don't drink, and some of my observations about just how deeply drinking is woven into our culture. This isn't an anti-alcohol lecture, but rather a conversation about social expectations, questioning what's considered normal, and being willing to go agains...
A cookbook takes years to create—and a lot can change between the first recipe test and the day you finally hold the finished book in your hands. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes for my NEW cookbook, The Old-Fashioned on Purpose Cookbook, from the Easter eggs and meaningful photos, to the story behind the cover and the role the Soda Fountain played in it all. I’m also addressing the elephant in the room: why there are photos in this book that reflect a chapter of my life that...
You may have seen the headlines warning about possible food shortages in 2027, but how much should we actually be worried? In this episode, I’m digging into what’s behind those warnings, some of the very real cracks in our modern food system, and why I think they’re worth paying attention to without spiraling into doom-and-gloom prepping. I’ll share why margin has become my motto lately and give some practical action steps for helping becoming prepared without stress and panic. Because I firm...
