No excuses for not increasing your self defense IQ, we all are aware of the problems that exist for us as women. What about the SOLUTIONS though? Solutions are available but you need to be intentional about seeking them out AND taking action to use them. Because self-defense is just like knowledge, the key is to apply it.

I am excited to be back training ladies in Mexico, but if you aren't a solo traveler or an expat you can still apply the same principles to your every day environment. Keep Your Head on a SWIVEL! Your only obstacle is YOU.
Stay safe, stay vigilant sis!
EDUCATE. TRAIN. EMPOWER.

Have you or someone you know been sexually assaulted in the military? It is ridiculous that NOTHING has changed, except the number of victims and cover ups that have increased over the years... Prayers for peace and justice to the families of those victimized that were murdered like Guillen.

➡️Take a minute and listen to the message she has for other teens out there.
The world is changing and the climate calls for heightened awareness. No need to live being paranoid, but PREPAREDNESS is mandatory.
⚠️Keep your head on a SWIVEL
⚠️TRUST your GUT
⚠️FIGHT to NEVER allow anyone to take you to a SECOND LOCATION‼️

Flashback friday!⚡️
What’s in your 👜 purse?
👀👀👀
Hey warriors! Listen up👀 i know everyone is on edge with all the latest news stories, posts and media attention on trafficking...
Great, now that everyone is paying attention... GATHER YOURSELF!
You were not created in the spirit of FEAR, F FEAR! (See what I did there lol😉)
Information should inform you and any FEAR should MOVE you into ACTION! YOU have the POWER, now learn how to use it. YOU choose whether you will be a ‘victim’ or aggressor if you are attacked or threatened. That means a confrontation can be aggressor vs aggressor, so wrap your mind around operating in your POWER sis. Then watch how energy shifts around you.
Learn to use what you already have within you and on you! That is your mind, your hand, feet, voice and even makeup in your purse if need be!
Think outside the 📦 box! With everything going on in this crazy world you should be motivated to TRAIN YOUR BRAIN & BODY and get PREPARED for danger... not walk around PARANOID because of the possibility of DANGER.
🚫NO more excuses!

Did you know a blitz attack is the most DANGEROUS type of attack?
In this age of technology and cell phones aka age of distraction, more and more women and girls and increasing their risk of being attacked by letting predators think they are an EASY target.

Don't get caught by surprise and get attacked from behind because you are not paying attention!
TRAIN YOUR BRAIN, TRUST YOUR GUT, KEEP YOUR EYES UP.

👋Did you know October was National Bullying Awareness & Prevention Month?
Well, if you are like me then you probably didn't 😉 (Hey, I don't know everything Lol)

Why am I bringing up bullying?
Well, even though bullying isn't always sexual in nature SEXUAL HARASSMENT is a form of bullying! Yep, that's right!

Sexual harassment and bullying are two different ways for perpetrators to harm their victims through violence, threats of violence, manipulation and unwanted touching.

Sexual harassment typically happens to teens and adults. Like other types of bullying, sexual harassment is about power. Teacher-student, employer-employee or even student-student and employee-employee relationships. These relationship dynamics are often the underlying reason behind the 'bully' sexually harassing the victim-they are insecure and want to feel POWERFUL.

🛑Here is a simple acronym to help you remember how to help S.T.O.P Bullies➡️...

💪S-STAND up to the bully and use your words to defend yourself.

💪T-TAKE appropriate steps to get away from the bully, including RUN if need be.

💪O-OPEN up to another trusted person (adult) and let them know what is going on. You are not alone!

💪P-PROTECT yourself from bullies. Like I teach with the SWIVEL technique in the book F FEAR and my video courses- there is POWER in numbers! So, stay with people or go toward other people so you aren't alone.

🛑S.T.O.P the BULLYING!

Have you been in a situation where you had to protect yourself from a bully or maybe your child dealt with a bully at school or work, how did you handle it??
