Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 32, originally published in September 2010.

Jason Hartman talks with The Survival Mom, Lisa Bedford from Arizona. Lisa says that deep inside every mom is a “Survival Mom” whose passion for her family drives her to make the best of the present and prepare for the future. Lisa shares that passion along with a long-standing, slightly crazed fascination with natural disasters, survival stories and preparing for the unknown. This drives her husband, the Paranoid Dad, crazy. You’ll hear importance of preparedness and being proactive and ideas tried, successes as well as failures. A forty-something mother of two home schooled children and wife to a busy, self-employed husband, Lisa lives in the greater Phoenix area, also known as Hell’s Waiting Room!

Lisa spent nine years as a classroom teacher, four years as a teacher mentor, and have had the same home-based sales business for over 17 years. Prior to her professional career, she believes she set a world record for holding the most part-time jobs during my high school and college years! The future has always been uncertain, a massive earthquake could take out half of the United States at any moment. What makes right now different is the uncertainty on so many levels: the economy, national security, natural disasters and a world increasingly filled with threats against our country.

If you’ve been stashing away a few groceries every week or researching how to make a solar powered generator, you’re not alone! Our concerns for the present and future can be channeled into actions that will help provide for and protect our families while still enjoying the heck out of life!
