Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com for its such podcasters to get started.

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome back to the Busy Mom Podcast. I'm glad

that you're here today for those of you who have never listened to this podcast before.

My husband and I have seven children. They range in age from five to almost 25 years old.

We have two grandsons. We've been homeschooling our kids since the dawn of time. I think I'm

187 years old in homeschooling, and I travel and speak to families across the country along

with my husband. I've also written several books, and you can find them at HeidiStJohn.com,

and I run the Busy Mom blog. I've been blogging for about 15 years and just have a real passion

to encourage moms in every area of their life. But my primary focus is on the gospel and

the saving grace of Jesus Christ. So you're going to find that that is a common theme

and everything that I speak about and write about. But this week, I'm focusing on something

a little bit different, something I don't normally focus on, but I'm interested in. And

I think this is an incredibly important topic and a good season for us to be listening

to. And that is talking about being prepared for emergencies, particularly as women.
