Ep: 39 Kirsty Emery - The Home Chronicles

The Full Life Podcast with Melanie Lynam

Kirsty is the founder of The Home Chronicles, a blog which is an expression of the home in relationships, food and DIY. She is also a Pastor and together with her husband Nick are the campus Pastors of Hope Centre, Ipswich.

In this conversation Kirsty gives great advice for where to start in decorating your home on a shoe string budget, she gives us some great time management tips, and Kirsty also shares some quick and easy “go to” recipes that are regularly on her family’s menu. We find out what inspires Kirsty’s decorational style and what motivated her to start painting?

Friends, we also do go a bit deeper. As Kirsty says, a shadow over her childhood is domestic violence. We don’t go into any details about what happened but we do talk about what it is like now as an adult, learning new habits, and growing into a healthy human being who has come out of that kind of environment. And Kirsty also shares with us her concept of ‘the art of fighting well’ within the context of a marriage.

Now just before we go into this conversation I do want to let you know that this will be my last episode for a while. I’m taking a 6 month break to rest, draw closer to God and allow Him to breathe fresh vision into my heart. But I am looking forward to returning with some more great interviews. So right now, enjoy this conversation with the gorgeous Kirsty Emery!

“Some people can be a bit precious about design rules but I think you’ve just got to buy things that you actually love and things that build memories.”
“Taking ownership and having to fight real hard and then go, ‘I refuse for this to be my life. I’ve found Jesus, He has promised me an abundant life so I am going to pursue His truth.”
