Homemaking Deep Dive | Emergency Response in the Home

The Art of Home: A Podcast for Homemakers

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.
