Full Time Homemaking Deep Dive, Part 1| So, You Want to Be a Full Time Homemaker?
Description
Today begins a 2-part Deep Dive series on full time homemaking with guest, Jessica Fisher. We are NOT here to give you hard and fast rules about whether or not you should be a full time homemaker. Our goal is to affirm your desire to stay home full time as legitimate and not out of the realm of possibilities.
In this episode we discuss:
- The WHY of full time homemaking
- How to make the shift to ft homemaking
- The history of homemaking and why it fell out of fashion in the last 60 years
- What does the Bible say? Is there a specific mandate for full time homemaking?
- Common barriers to becoming a ft homemaker: lack of support, fears, money
- What to do before you quit your job
- What to do when you are ready to make the switch
Next week, in part 2, we will talk about thriving as a full time homemaker by understanding God’s design for your homemaking and learning to manage the three common trouble spots of expectations, time and money.
