I’m Lena Sledge
I’m Lena Sledge—actress, award-winning filmmaker, author, and lifelong storyteller with nearly two decades in the film industry. Whether I’m directing behind the camera or mentoring new talent, I’m passionate about helping others find their voice and share their stories.
I’m also a wife, mom, grandmother, and sandwich caregiver who found peace and purpose through homesteading. On Home With Lena, I share practical tips for gardening, food preservation, DIY living, and self-care—because I know how easy it is to lose yourself while taking care of everyone else. This space is where creativity meets sustainability, and where you’re always welcome to grow, rest, and begin again.
