A Power Outage can be an inconvenience OR it can be deadly.
A grid failure with lights out & zero power is a real possibility. You need a backup plan or will you:
- Sweat through sleepless nights without AC?
- Freeze in your home without heat?
- Helplessly watch your refrigerated and frozen food spoil?
- Lose communication with no WiFi?
- Watch your family suffer without vital, life-saving medical devices?
Let us walk you through the lessons we learned the hard way and show you how easy it can be to set up a power backup system for your home and budget.
YES PLEASE -- JUST $65
you learn a lot after ten days without any power!
In 2024, Hurricane Beryl left over two million people in Harris County, Texas, without power, and that included us! Fortunately, our home had a backup power system in place, but most people weren't as lucky.
Hurricane Beryl wasn’t supposed to be that strong...
...but our power went out the day she hit coastal Texas as a Category 1, and we didn’t have grid-power for ten days!!
We watched most of our neighbors scramble. Some didn’t even have a way to charge their phone — let alone keep their food cold or their homes comfortable.
But for us?
We had multiple layers of backup ready to go: power banks,
a portable generator, and a standby generator.
- We had air conditioning.
- We weren’t worried about spoiled food.
- We were safe, cool, and connected — it was almost like the outage didn’t exist.
We had planned ahead, knew exactly the type and size of generators and batteries we needed, and we want to help you do the same.
Hi. I'm Lisa, The Survival Mom.
We created the “Everything Energy” Mini-Summit to take the confusion out of backup power — and help you build a reliable plan that fits your life and your budget.
I’m Lisa, founder of Survival Mom, and for the past 16 years, I’ve been helping families prepare for anything life throws their way.
I’ve built courses, run an online membership, written hundreds of how-to articles, and personally tested dozens of emergency-prep tools and systems.
My husband, Stephen, is a Texas Master Electrician and a nationally certified expert in power systems — including Kohler, Generac, Franklin, SolarEdge, Enphase, and Tesla. He’s led the generator division of a major energy company and now researches cutting-edge technologies like virtual power plants and electric vehicle integration.
In short? We’ve seen it all — and we’re here to help you skip the guesswork.
Inside "Everything Energy" you’ll get:
→ Expert-led training sessions
→ Straightforward product recommendations
→ Interactive worksheets
→ And a custom GPT tool to guide your choices — without wasting time, money, or energy.
See you there....
You know you need a plan for power outages, but you may feel...
ANXIOUS
about your family's safety & comfort when the lights go out.
UNPREPARED
for unexpected power outages, leaving you feeling vulnerable and worried.
stalled
on getting started because you don't know the most affordable and easy entry points.
CONFUSED
by all the options and technical jargon around energy backup solutions.
HESITANT
to take the first step because it all seems too complicated or expensive.
The truth is…
There are a hundred ways people try to prepare for power outages — and most of them lead to confusion, overspending, or the wrong setup entirely.
You’ve probably:
→ browsed random Amazon generators without knowing what size you actually need
→ tried to figure it out from YouTube videos or asked around in Facebook groups
→ worried whether you’re even strong enough to move or hook up a heavy generator
→ thought, “how could we ever afford a big enough backup system for our house?”
And here’s the thing: no two households are exactly the same. What works for your cousin across the country might be totally wrong for you.
Let's get you unstuck →
An energy plan for every budget!!!
We got through that ten days power outage without breaking a sweat — because we followed one core principle:
Assemble the correct size and type of power backup, uniquely suited to your family and household.
Not your neighbor's setup or a generic DIY plan on YouTube.
Just a custom-fit plan that covers your real needs -- from basic comfort to total peace of mind.
So are you ready to:
➔ Have multiple reliable sources of backup power — and know exactly when to use each one?
➔ Finally understand what size generator you really need (and which features are worth the money)?
➔ Know the first few steps to take the moment the power goes out — without panic or guesswork?
…all without wasting money on the wrong setup or feeling overwhelmed by options?
You'll discover if you even need a generator! (Not everyone does.) And, if you do, we'll help you figure out exactly what is right for you on your budget.
