We live in a scary world where women are constantly at risk of being seen as vulnerable. Which is why I invited the founder of Pretty Hands, Hard Punches, Elicia Ybarra, to discuss the power of self defense and how to use your physical body and your mental capabilities to protect yourself. This episode dives into how to fight to defend yourself and escape, what to look out for to avoid even getting in these situations, and why the best weapon you could ever use is your body.
Key Takeaways:
- Self defense is more than physically defending your body from an attack
- Developing situational awareness by recognizing your fear and acting in accordance through language, tone and posture
- Your abuser is more likely going to be someone you know
- How knowing your worth helps you protect your boundaries
- Leveling up your self worth and boundaries by thinking about the ideal version of yourself
- Why your pepper spray actually won’t protect you
- How to best protect yourself using your body
