Send me a text about this episode!
I am chatting with Laura Ruoff about her 18 years of keeping a home with husband, Chris, and their 11 year old son.
We chat about all the things; challenges, expectations, fails and wins—how Laura is coming to terms with the illusion of perfectionism and balance, especially in her current season of being an entrepreneur.
Laura owns a women’s self-defense school called Hips-n-Clips. Laura is a certified pistol instructor and range safety officer and she is passionate about teaching women all things self-defense. Laura is first and foremost a homemaker and as a fan of the Art of Home, she applied mainly to share her story of home.
But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk with her specifically about women’s safety and self defense. So we spend some time in the middle of this interview talking about some of the basics. Laura is great resource and she gracious shares some really great information here that will benefit all of you.
