Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Season 7 of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast! How many of you take care of your grandchildren or other youngsters - or occasionally babysit them? Come on - most kids love spending time with their grandparents. And what would YOU do if they - or someone you loved - suddenly stopped breathing... or started choking? It's a question most of us hope we'll never have to answer. But when an emergency happens, every second counts. Ahead of the official start of summer... and in recognition of National CPR & AED Awareness Week, Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast Host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Pamela Isom, President and CEO of ICE Safety Solutions, to discuss the life-saving skills every family should know. A former biologist turned entrepreneur, Pam shares her remarkable journey into the world of CPR, First Aid, and AED training, and explains why emergency preparedness isn't just for healthcare professionals. It's for all of us. In this episode, we discuss: • Why so many adults have never been trained in CPR • What CPR and AEDs actually do • Why people freeze during emergencies • Common choking emergencies involving children • What grandparents, caregivers, and families should know • Family reunions, church groups, and community preparedness • How to get started with CPR and First Aid training Whether you're a grandmother, an ageless auntie, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to be prepared, this conversation could help you gain the confidence to respond when every second counts.
