492 - The History of Home Economics in Lisa's Family

<p><strong>Last summer while I was on</strong> <strong><em>The Paper Solution®</em></strong><strong>  book tour in Chicago, an attendee recommended that I read</strong> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L6R2JDX?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B08L6R2JDX&linkCode=xm2&tag=warrmama-20"> <strong><em>The Secret History of Home Economics</em></strong></a> <strong><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L6R2JDX?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B08L6R2JDX&linkCode=xm2&tag=warrmama-20"> by Danielle Dreilinger</a>.</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">It sounded interesting so I grabbed the audiobook. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh my! I couldn't listen fast enough! When I got home, I had to have a paper copy of the book to take notes and dive deeper. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the last year, I've been digesting and contemplating what I read in this book. I'm now ready to share my thoughts and reflections over the course of several podcast episodes this month. </span></p> <p><strong>First, I want to talk to you about my latest reflection on my family of origin and how this reflection has created a greater understanding for me of the role women in my history</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">have had and then next week we will dive into the content of the book.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, I share about the families on both my dad's side and my mom's side and the difference between the two in terms of average life span, education, and family practices. I go into depth about my mom's side of the family where we have a long history of women going to college and becoming entrepreneurs.</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Secret History of Home Economics</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">helped me understand why each generation in my family thought about and experienced a different college and work experience - even with the same college subject degree! </span></
