Episode #043: Be Prepared and You Shall Not Fear Part 2: Preparation Eases Desperation

December31

Preparing for a long term disaster can feel just like that…a disaster! Join us with Erika Collins from Emergency Essentials as we identify when we can use long term storage. She also shares great resources on how to plan for our own personal situations. You can create a year supply of food storage on as little as 7.50 per week. Listen in for great tips, inspiration and you just might catch the preparation bug!

Challenge: Assess the needs of your family. Find forms at www.beprepared.com. Decide on a budget amount per month to use for ‘food insurance’ storage. Fill all empty water bottles after use and keep them in a dark, dry place in your home.

Heather Johnson is a yoga triathlete mother of three. What began as a hobby became a lifestyle as Heather took her love for running to the next level—marathons. She competed in the Boston marathon just 5 months after the birth of her second child, and has successfully finished numerous triathlons including the Oceanside, CA 70.3 Ironman. She is a certified yoga instructor and is currently producing a revolutionary new series of yoga videos designed to train mothers to teach yoga to their children. Heather is writing her first children’s book, a comical story adapted from imaginative bedtime stories about a polar bear named Poco.

She graduated with a bachelors in marketing from BYU and worked for an advertising and public relations firm for several years before starting a family. She continues to do freelance writing and marketing consulting. Heather has been a repeated guest on the Producer Power Hour radio broadcast and enjoys public speaking. She has been married for 11 years to a crazy ultramarathoner, has three busy children, and lives in Utah County

Deborah is a work in progress. She focused her life thus far on raising her 5 children. The lessons learned and roads less traveled have brought her to a renewal of enthusiasm and energy for life. Deborah is an avid reader of self-help books and knows that it takes listening to your own truth to bring the books to life. She has transformed her life in the last year losing 78 pounds following a failed knee replacement, studying yoga, discovering her soul purpose, and standing in her power as a divine daughter of God. She enjoys this “empty nest” stage of life with her husband, Brett. To every thing there is a season – and this is her season for public speaking, leading workshops for women, writing her first book, and playing with her 7 grandchildren. Deborah was born in New York City and enjoys experiencing life in many different locations, having lived in 7 states and 25 homes. Her favorite hobbies are scuba diving, ballroom dancing, reading, theater and ballet, and you’ll always find her in the movie theater Fridays at 4 p.m. eating popcorn in the dark!
