Beth King joined the military to provide for her son and became the first female in her company to fully progress to the role of crew chief. One fateful night in Afghanistan, her Chinook was hit by an RPG, throwing her from the helicopter. Her harness caught her, saving her life, but the incident left her with serious injuries that were not immediately apparent to others. She went 18 months without treatment, only to later discover that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). As her symptoms worsened, she was eventually medically discharged from the military. Her injury, compounded by PTSD, anxiety, and depression, led King to isolate herself. Eventually, the Wounded Warrior Project helped renew her sense of community, reigniting her love of sports and, ultimately, her zest for life. Now, it is King's turn to give back, helping other veterans find a sense of purpose as they return to civilian life.

At 30 years old, Beth King was a single mother, and joined the Army as a way to provide for her five-year-old son. She deployed to Afghanistan and became a Chinook helicopter maintainer. As one of the few women in her field, SSG King felt extra pressure to excel. She had to prove herself to her male colleagues, and if she failed, she was told they would take a “long break” before allowing another woman to join their company. She succeeded, and became the first female to fully progress to crew chief in her company. One night, King's Chinook was hit by an RPG, and she was four feet away from the blast. She fell out of the helicopter, but was caught by her harness. Although she and the rest of the crew made it back to their FOB, King knew something wasn't right. She experienced severe pain, spells of vomiting, and had difficulties with her speech, but had no visible injuries. Unfortunately, King's need to prove herself as a capable woman in her field persisted to the detriment of her health. She was asked multiple times to tough out her injuries and continue flying missions, and she complied, going 18 months without treatment. King later discovered she had suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that was made worse by her continued action. She was medically discharged, and began physical therapy. King also suffered from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. She found that cycling in a special wheelchair reignited her competitive spirit and greatly improved her mental health, so she trained for competition. Unbeknownst to her, the wheelchair cut off circulation to her feet, and her consistent and intense training in the chair caused significant, lasting pain. Now, King is awaiting an amputation of one of her legs. If the amputation is a success, and the pain completely dissipates, she plans on amputating the second. In the meantime, King has begun training in the javelin throw, and hopes to compete in the 2024 Paralympics. She says in this interview “I would love to go to the Paralympics, but the truth is I just like being better. I like improving. I like growth. It is like all this effort is not meaningless. All this pain and suffering has led to me improving, then it's worth it.” To learn more about King, and how the Wounded Warrior Projected aided in her recovery, visit https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/mission/meet-a-warrior/beth-king.

Pack Your Bags Director Mary Beth King
Bet you didn’t realize that this show had SEASONS just like a TV SHOW. HUH? Sami and Beth bring it back to basics in this tell all betwixt the two of them, about their fears and favorites, about going home-home and about this podcast, in about that order. “A Warning To Our Friends” What fears, do you ask? Well, about coming to a new American culture (ahem, coronavirus), reverse culture shock (what even is that, anyways?), how to reintegrate with old friends (what have YOU been up to for the last two years?), and reintroduce themselves as similar but different people (we've grown, y'all!)? Those are some of the fears. But you can use yer ears, and give us the hears, if you listen to this delightful season finale of a podcast! ...Going Home-Home is a conversation created by Sami Case and Bethany King, best friends who have lived and worked as teachers in Lilongwe, Malawi for the past 2 years. What started as a platform to inform friends and family back home of what was going on in their heads as they prepared to come back stateside, has transformed before their eyes into asking as many interesting people as they can find the question at the center of their hearts: Where is home-home? Sami Case (https://www.instagram.com/samicase) and Beth King (https://www.instagram.com/kingbeth) make this show.

Sami and Beth affirm everything Riki is going through. Things are hard, that makes sense. Friendships aren’t being formed so easily? That makes sense. You’re confused about where exactly home-home is? That makes sense! Beth also brings up a brain-twister: can you be home-home at the same time as being home, if the whole idea of going "home-home" means you’re NOT ACTUALLY THERE??? IS THIS WHOLE THING SOME SORT OF CONSPIRACY??? Trust me, the more you think about it, the more confused and unclear things will become. Great!

“Home is where you belong”Belonging somewhere involves knowing your purpose in the place where you live. What better way to find your purpose than seeing a need in your community and working to meet it?In this episode, Beth interviews Sylvia Howse, native Zimbabwean teacher who has made Malawi her home. Sylvia explains how she became passionate about art and began noticing the lack of art opportunities for kids in Malawi. She describes her vision for meeting this need by training other teachers and hosting art workshops using recyclables as materials for masterpieces!How do you stay motivated in pursuing your goals when things get tough? How do we rely on God to give us the qualifications to do what he has called us to do? How can expats help meet the educational needs in Malawi? All this and more on this special episode of Going Home-Home!Sami Case (https://www.instagram.com/samicase) and Beth King (https://www.instagram.com/kingbeth) make this show.Kid_Wonder//Justin Lee (https://soundcloud.com/k1der/tracks)//(https://www.instagram.com/justinshungry/) makes the music.
Moving overseas is difficult. Leaving the home you created overseas can be even more difficult. But you know what? You can always come back. “I knew the minute I was driving to the airport to leave I would probably come back.” In this episode, Sami and Beth talk to their friend Carson White, a Texan (Georgian?..Kansas-ian??) nurse practitioner who discusses her definition of home as someone who grew up moving around a lot as a military kid. She tells us about the audible call she heard from God on her first trip to Malawi as an undeclared college student, and how that made her want to go back and declare a major in medicine. How do you create deep friendships when you don’t know how long someone is going to be around? What part does learning the language play in helping you create deeper ties with the place you live? What does the call to come *back* to a place sound and look like after so much time? All this and more, on this Sunday’s episode of Going Home-Home. Sami Case (https://www.instagram.com/samicase) and Beth King (https://www.instagram.com/kingbeth) make this show.

On this, the third and lengthiest installment (not a pity conversation at all, I’m serious!!) of our un-intentional and very enjoyable series with the Allison family, who we have had the absolute pleasure of becoming best friends with in our second year in Malawi, we talk to patriarch Matt (https://www.instagram.com/mattallison11/) about home-home. How do you find home as a sixteen-year-old after your parents’ divorce? How do you create a community out of what initially looks like nothing? What kind of people should be sent out to be missionaries? All this and more in another exciting episode of Going Home-Home by GrubbyLittleHands!

How should Catholics approach problems on a global scale? Here's the thing—we can do more harm than good if we go into issues without a firm educational foundation. We can also do more harm than good if we leave our faith in the dust as we charge forward with a well-intentioned heart. Catholic social teaching is a set of tenants that informs how we should make global decisions and how we should love our neighbors, both next door and on the other side of the world. Beth King-Howard, today's guest, takes a group of young women to the UN's Commission on the Status of Women every year. So she knows that complex problems often need complex solutions. We dive into all kinds of topics, from whether capitalism is Christian to what topics she thinks Catholics should talk about more to the importance of having the heart of a learner. I pretty much think she should be the communal southern Catholic Feminist mama.
