Her Holistic Home: Recent Episodes
Lindsey
Her Holistic Home podcast is about living a holistic lifestyle in multiple ways! I will focus on three different topics in this podcast. Most of this is centered around my own experiences living a natural life for over 12 years and my journey as a mom of three: 1) Natural living - Let's talk about organic foods, supplementation, practitioners, and toxin free products. I have been medical freedom activist for years and this may also be an area I touch on. I love encouraging people to take care of their bodies because God only gave us one. 2) Faith - The culture has really come against Christians in strong way. Many of us have inadvertently fallen into the lies culture has told us. I am currently working towards my certification in Biblical counseling and I want to share with you what I am learning on a weekly basis! 3) Homeschooling - I absolutely consider myself a homeschooling activist. I was homeschooled myself and I am now homeschooling my children. I want to share my journey as a second generation homeschooler. I love encouraging moms to homeschool. Breaking our children away from government schools is just one way we can raise our children in Christ. I hope my experiences can be helpful to you in some way!
This is a very popular phrase right now and as Christians I want to encourage you to BE DISCERNING. Just because something sounds good or sounds logical doesn't mean it is Biblical. The concept of self-sacrifice is actually completely illogical! In this video I dig into what the Bible says about peace. You may find it is a bit different than world modern day society says about peace. Check out my YouTube channel for a video version of this episode.

Modesty is always a hot topic amongst Christian women. While there can be a lot of legalism around this topic, I think when we get to the heart of the matter, it can actually be pretty simple.
Although most of my life I dressed pretty modestly, my heart regarding modesty changed over the last several years. I highly encourage you to consider what you think about modesty and make sure it aligns with what God thinks.

Sorry it has been a couple weeks since I have posted an episode! I was out of town and then had to take a couple of weeks to just catch up on life!
Today's episode is some of the tips and tricks we use to save money when eating organic and whole food based. Eating organic is expensive (no argument there) but there are some ways we have been able to save. These methods have allowed us to stick to our budget.
Some of the products mentioned:

I have talked about discernment many times on this show but today I am going to question one of the widely popular books in Christianity today. I will say this, back in the early 1900’s psychology got a foothold in Christianity and while there are amazing pastors and institutions that are fighting back and trying to get back to what true biblical living and counseling was - the damage is widespread. We have to be very careful to bring everything back to the Bible. We also must question any techniques or methods and ask “where is this information from?” Many times it is just made up or based in psychology (which even leading psychologists will admit is not a TRUE science.) Of course I could go into even more on this but today I am talking about the 5 Love Languages. This book has helped cause so much damage in the Christian world today and I feel I need to address it. So buckle up and let’s go!

I personally have LOVED Naturepedic product. Not because they are a bigger name but because their quality has stood the test of time. I have several mattresses from them as well as mattress covers, and pillows. Compared to other brands I have purchased, they last! I can also trust their quality. I know that when I am sleeping, my body is not being bombarded by chemicals (at least not from my mattress and pillow!)
Sadly, the President's Day sale I mention in this episode is over, but I would gather they will be offering another sale here soon (probably one for Memorial Day - maybe even sooner!)

The holistic community just like the allopathic community can be full of fear. As Christians we need to be very careful that we don't move from "taking care of our bodies" to fearing everything around us. In today's episode, I break down a little of the REASON for living holistically as well as talk about several different supplements I am trying in my home this year.

I had the privilege of speaking with Leslie Nunnery the founder of the Teach Them Diligently homeschool conference this last week to discuss her new book Homeschool for the Heart. This book talks about what homeschooling should be about. As Leslie mentions, homeschooling is an amazing tool to accomplish a specific goal but that goal should be to disciple our children. Homeschooling is a tool to carry out our God given calling!

Today I am breaking out the different methods of homeschooling. Many homeschoolers come into homeschooling and really wonder where to start with all the options. This will help you breakout which style may fit you best. However, these are not cut and dry boxes and believe it or not, your style may change over the years!
If you want to know more about these homeschool methods, I highly recommend checking out this post by Simply Charlotte Mason https://simplycharlottemason.com/five-homeschooling-styles/

Today I am talking all about natural birth. I hope to elaborate on some of the topics in future episodes but this one is just an overview. I hope this can help you in your pursuit of a natural birth or if you are just trying to figure out if it is the right path for you.

During this time when humidity is low and our heaters are on, dryness is something most of us may be experiencing, from our hands, to our skin, to our feet. However, many times the dry skin is because of a lack of internal hydration. In this episode I talk about some great products that I use to help with winter dryness.

Dive into another biblical counseling topic - the topic of alcohol. Our nation has a major problem with alcohol. While Christians are "free in Christ" many have taken this to mean that they can just sin freely, especially when it comes to alcohol. While culture may not view drinking at a party or even getting drunk occasionally as wrong - we need follow what the Bible says.
We are all sinners, but let us not use that as an excuse to just sin more. From a holistic perspective, most wine is also laden with chemicals and heavy metals and overall is just not that great for you.

Today I am talking about some of the common toxic pitfalls during the holiday season and some easy ways to make them healthier. We all know this season is a time of massive amounts of sugar. However, even more dangerous are the dyes and chemicals that seem to be in every treat (especially ones for kids). Some of these treats can easily be made at home too!

Combining two topics today as I talk about holistic living from a Christian perspective. Sometimes it is easy to fall into things and not even take a step back and say "is this Biblical?" Many of these sins I committed too when I first started rejecting the mainstream medical community and allopathic medicine and embracing more natural modalities. We have to be on guard in all areas of life and holistic medicine is no different. Through this episode, I hope you are encouraged to walk in truth and trust God for your health, your life, and everything.

When we hear the word idol we think of the baals that the Israelites went after, or the golden calf. We may even think about the little Buddha statues we sometimes see around. However, we have an idol that is much more sneaky. Paul talks about this idol in Ephesians. He actually calls those that practice this sinful practice IDOLATORS! I think this sin is very prominent in our culture today and sometimes we don't even view it through the severe lens that we should.

Today I am breaking down the major arguments as to why people don't want to homeschool. I am challenging every person to analyze their hearts, their motives, and their goals. Are they aligned with God's goals?
If you are already homeschooling - this episode will hopefully encourage you in your journey and help you to evaluate whether the goal for your homeschool is what it should be.
If you aren't homeschooling - this episode will help you to take a step back and analyze what your reasons are for not, and challenge you to truly think about the way God calls us to raise our kids.

As we walk in our faith as Christians, we have a calling. We have a calling to be discerning. This is so important especially for women. We are bombarded every day with different memes, books, articles. All geared towards women! Many of them seem innocent enough. However, when compared to what Scripture says - they fall flat. They don't teach what the Bible teaches, they teach what the world and psychology teaches. Everything must be compared to scripture. This is increasingly important in the day and age in which we live. Today I am talking about ways to be discerning and some major things to look out for.

Today I am breaking down my favorite systems for water filtration in your house. I am not going to talk about ALL the possible systems, but these are the ones we use in our home. I am specifically going to address permanent systems not temporary or portable ones.
I have had three homes all with different water filtration systems. I have researched a lot before choosing the ones I did for my latest home. I hope you find this podcast helpful in choosing which water filtration/purification is best for your home.

I get questions all the time about what supplements we use or what supplement company to use. It is totally understandable! The supplement market is flooded and it is difficult to know which companies to trust. Then when you trust one company, something changes, and you can't trust them anymore. In this episode, I am just giving my opinion of my favorite supplement and herbal companies. This is not an endorsement of the company's political affiliations or even ALL of their products. I have tried to specifically tell you which products I use or have used (non-exhaustive list of course) from each.

In this episode, I dig down into some of the ways to create a clean, holistic sleeping space for yourself and your kids. Sleep is when our bodies regenerate, rest, and heal. It is important to make this space an area that does not burden our bodies with additional toxins. If you are ready for a complete overhaul of your space I have some recommendations for you. If you don't have a large budget but want to make some small meaningful changes - I have some great recommendations for you as well.

Self care is all we hear about these days especially as moms and women. However, the world's view of self care isn't the the Biblical model. There are plenty of books and videos where people are trying to shove today's model for self care into scripture but it just DOESN'T fit. We have to be very careful to not mold the Bible into what we want it to say, but rather mold ourselves into what God wants us to be. It isn't popular, it isn't pretty, and it definitely isn't Instagram worthy. However, God wants what is best for us (but His ways are far above our own)! Today's model falls short and the world is lying to you. Let's talk about God's model for "self care". Stop falling for the lies of society because they will never satisfy.

My water filtration system - with Pure Water
In this episode, we go over some of the first steps to homeschooling. I tried to keep it generic for all states but also provided some great resources on where to go for more help specific to your area. We go over curriculum ideas, socialization, and the basics. I am a homeschool mom myself but also have the background of being homeschooled myself from 2nd grade through graduation. I truly believe it is one of the best ways to educate your child and to bond as a family. Here are the resources I listed in the episode:

I hope to be able to lend some insight and encouragement to other women and moms out there who are starting on their holistic journey. Join me weekly as I post each episode. This episode is only 15~ mins long since I am just introducing myself, my background, and what Her Holistic Home is all about.
