Homemaking Deep Dive | Emergency Response in the Home Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

Imagine being caught in a home emergency, your heart racing and mind scattered — would you know what to do? This episode is a must-listen for every homemaker as I sit down with Elizabeth Dillard, a paramedic firefighter with a wealth of field experience, to arm you with the knowledge and skills for effective crisis management in the home. Together, we dissect the fine line between fear that paralyzes and fear that mobilizes. Elizabeth shares empowering wisdom from scripture to fight paralyzing fear AND some practical knowledge for preparing your response and assessing life-threatening situations. In this episode:

🔥Preparing Your Response: 2 Kinds of Fear and what scripture has to say about them, YOU are the first responder and you set the tone.

🔥Incident Management; what to do in actual medical and fire emergencies (mild content warning: we do discuss medical trauma).

🔥Post-Incident Management: what to do after the emergency. How to work through the aftermath for ourselves and with others.

EPISODE NOTES:

Scripture to Fight Fear: 2 Tim 1:7, Joshua 10:25, 1 Chron 28:20, Psalm 56:4, Psalm 118:6, Heb 13:6
M.A.R.C.H. acronym : Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Hypothermia
Cardiac Arrest: Remember, "No, No, Go". Are they responding normally? Are they breathing normally? If answer to both is "NO" then GO ahead with CPR.

Resources for Depression:

Conquering Depression by Bruce Hennigan and Mark Sutton: *This book helped me learn to identify what was causing, contributing to, and intensifying my anxiety and depression and gave me tools to fight back.
American Association of Christian Counselors *If you are a church member, you may want to start by talking with your pastor for counsel and recommendations of christian counselors in your area. I cannot stress enough how valuable counseling has been for me...and the necessity to work with a counselor who will use scripture to help direct you to the truly Wonderful Counselor who knows you better than you know yourself.

Homemaker Portrait | Naomi Fata Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

Send me a text about this episode!

In today’s episode I am talking with In-the-Trenches homemaker, Naomi Fata. She’s been married 16 years and has 3 kids, ages 8 to 13. She homeschools and runs a sewing and alterations business out of her home--she is a very busy lady. We discuss how she has learned/is learning to balance homemaking, schooling and a home business through compromise, firm boundaries and letting go of some expectations. Naomi is passionate about teaching others how sewing can help them make the most of their clothing and home decor resources.

Over the years, Naomi realized that this "stay-at-home dream life" she asked God for does not come with ease. It is challenging to manage it all, but she is learning to differentiate between what God has and has not called her to do in each new day. Whether running a home business or not, this principle applies to all of us as homemakers as we seek to thrive in our calling and not be distracted or overwhelmed by all the possibilities before us. I know you will be encouraged and learn something from Naomi's story of home.

Homemaker Portrait | Breanna Wakefield Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

Send me a text about this episode!

In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Breanna Wakefield, a full-time homemaker and mother of two. Breanna opened up about the strong influence her mom and grandmothers had on her homemaking journey, highlighting the importance of understanding the why and how behind our daily tasks. We delved into the challenges she faced during her pregnancies, including complications related to endometriosis and her battle with postpartum depression. As someone who has personally experienced postpartum depression, I found our conversation incredibly relatable and encouraging. Breanna also generously shared her tips, tricks, and ideas for successful homemaking, leaving me inspired and eager to implement them in my own life. Trust me, you don't want to miss this valuable and heartfelt conversation.

Send me a text about this episode!

Join me for this In-the-Trenches Homemaker Portrait of author, blogger and full-time homemaking mama, Kristen Howard. We talk about how growing up on a South Dakota cattle ranch shaped her idea of home and family and how God is working to grow Kristen's own home and family that she is making with her husband and 2 (almost 3) kids. Kristen is passionate about slowing down and enjoying the every day gifts of home. That theme is what much of her writing centers around and it comes through clearly in this fun conversation.
