TO ACCEPT OUR UNIQUENESS AND EMBRACE WHO WE ARE.

For many years, I was involved in advocacy work, dealing with differing opinions and diverse groups, using conflict resolution skills, and getting results.

I was then diagnosed with breast cancer, and that shifted both my perspective and direction in life. I learned what was most important to me and how living my life for myself changed everything.

It wasn't a lesson or journey about loss, I had already experienced that many times in my life. It was a lesson about reconnecting to my spirit. I believe we must take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

And much more!

About George:

As a former weatherman and reporter, I've covered countless stories about people who lost everything in natural disasters. Every year, people lose their homes, and many rebuild the exact same way. Most people have no idea if their insurance will actually get them whole again after a major disaster. If they have to evacuate and their house is destroyed, many of the things that were lost can never be replaced. We roll the dice on where we live with no true sense of what the hazards really are. When you watch The Last House Standing, you’ll meet people who are living a nightmare, and it doesn’t have to be this way.

This film is a wake-up call to everyone that we need to take control of our destiny and do whatever we can to protect our homes and lives.

We live in a world where everyone races to be first, but when it comes to your home, you want to be the last house standing.

About Debbie:

The Effortless Kitchen began as a passion project in 2019. Chef Debbie Brosnan started offering personal chef services, providing tasty dinners for her clients in their own kitchens. When COVID-19 started to shut down the US in March of 2020, Debbie had to quickly transition her business to accommodate the ever-changing climate. She began offering virtual cooking classes as a way to provide customers with something fun and healthy while also giving her audience a social outlet.

Chef Debbie’s live (virtual on Zoom) and recorded cooking classes help you create easy farm-to-table dinners - no matter what your cooking experience is! Her menus focus on whole foods and healthy ingredients using simple recipes that have been passed down from her family or inspired by local restaurants. She has a diverse understanding of dietary substitutions that can accommodate most food allergies and sophisticated palates. Whether you are a master in the kitchen or just starting to cook at home, you will learn something. The easy meals you will make in Chef Debbie’s cooking classes are better than takeout for both your body and your wallet.

About Candace:

Candace is a survivor of over 16 years of domestic violence. She’s divorced and thanks God for it every day. During that time in her life, she wasn't allowed to have anything that was hers. She wasn't allowed to do a lot of things while under the rule of thumb of her abuser.

When her abuser abandoned them, she looked around her home and the walls were bare like they always were, but they were filled with abuse and sadness, tears and anger and yelling…so much fear.

That’s when she started creating her “happy little places.” She walked around her house and gathered what she had. She went to the store and for little money purchased plants and pictures and set them up in the corners of her home. These happy little places have inspired her daughters to do the same in their rooms. Creating happiness doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.

She’s an inspiration of resilience and the power to overcome.

Brandon Bailey with his family is a first-generation farmer in Central Florida, specializing in beef, pork, chicken, duck, and turkey to their local community and beyond.

They fenced in a little bit of the backyard. They were on fifty acres, and built a coop, ordered chicks, ducks, and geese, and decided to raise their own meat. After tasting their own harvested chickens, they were sold. They dove into school, videos, education, book, the list goes on and on, and they made this with the help of God an absolute reality. They are unapologetic and intentional in all their farming practices.

Lisa Bedford - The Survival Mom - Peace in Preparedness May 02, 2022

Here are the things to expect in the episode:

Why is disaster preparedness important?
Why should parents learn basic survival skills?
What should every family's emergency preparedness plan include?
How do you teach children about emergency preparedness?
Why do you need a survival kit?
And much more!

About Lisa:

In 2009 when America’s economy hit rock bottom, Lisa knew she had to take action if her family faced a long-term job loss. Layoffs and bankruptcies were everywhere.

She knew it could happen to them.

She had no experience preparing for something like that, so she learned how to prepare just in case the worst happened. It didn’t take long before she ended up in preppers and survivalism, and she learned a lot. But she also learned much of the information that wasn’t a good fit for her family.

As a former teacher, corporate trainer, and writer, she decided to start a blog and write about her prepping adventures. The Survival Mom blog was born.

Lisa has been featured in Newsweek, NPR, the Today Show and Fox News, and many others.

She helps moms learn how to prepare and equip their families for those critical moments when life hits you hard, and there’s no time to figure out what to do.

She’s the mom of two homeschooled kids and the wife of a very patient man!

Preparedness is in my DNA Apr 27, 2020

Hi there! I’m Wendi Bergin the host of Joyfully Prepared. I’m so thankful that you’ve taken the time to listen to this podcast. I named the podcast Joyfully Prepared because I believe that becoming more prepared and self-reliant is a journey of abundance and self-discovery.

I grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia. My dad is from there as well as my grandparents. Preparedness is actually embedded in my DNA. Back in 1938, the leader of my grandparents’ church encouraged its members to put up two years’ worth of food and supplies. Over the next couple of years, my grandma and her mother-in-law canned 1800 jars worth of food. My grandfather had his own business as a landscaper and tree surgeon. He put up two years’ worth of any supplies he might need to keep his business running: tired, chains, parts.

In 1941, the United States entered World War II and all the industry in the country went to support the war effort. Because of my grandparents’ efforts to preserve and grow their own food, they never needed to use one of their ration stamps. Grandpa stayed in business, where others in his industry were not able to.

Because of their experiences, they raised my father to with a preparedness mindset.

My mother is the youngest of nine children and grew up in Idaho. They didn’t have a lot of money but she was taught by her mother how to grow a large garden and preserve the harvest. How to sew and quilt. They had their own root cellar. (Mom says it was scary going down there by herself.) They raised their own cattle and had a milk cow. She didn’t like doing that either. Her parents were fiercely self-reliant and taught her by their example.

I’m really so grateful for my heritage in so many ways.

Although, my parents taught me by their example, I have ventured out on my own to learn how to develop skills. I have to say, most of my learning has come from my mistakes. I’m happy to laugh at them and share them with you. Hopefully, you’re learning curve will be a little less steep.

I’m married to a husband named Sam. I have seven children. I’ve been homeschooling for about 13 years and just love to learn all sorts of new things. We’ve grown gardens, bred and raised dairy goats, processed our own meat chickens, hatched chick and raised laying hens. We have a couple of dogs and cats. I love to forage for wild edibles and learn how to make natural remedies. I know a lot about a few things and a little about a lot of things.

Again, I’m so grateful you’re here and can’t wait to get to know you better. From time to time we’ll have guests on to learn from them as well.
