Today there isn't a new episode of This Story is Nuts- however, I didn't want to leave you without a story. So, for this episode I decided to combine TWO stories of survival from two bad ass women.

I hope you enjoy! 

All new episodes of This Story is Nuts will return Wednesday December 1st.

STORY #1 Susan Kuhnhausen

In Susan Kuhnhausen's own words she was a piece of cake. She was middle aged, overweight, and had two bad knees.

But, what the intruder in her Oregon home in September of 2006 didn't know was that Susan was also trained in self defense.

This is the true story of not only how Susan Kuhnhausen fought off her attacker, but she also fought for the rights of others who were victims of violent crimes.

STORY #2 Michelina Lewandowska.

What was supposed to be a simple shopping trip would turn into a nightmare for Michelina Lewandowska.

Michelina's quick thinking as well as something else would be the one thing to save her life.

In this weeks episode we look at survival, and what one woman will do to stay alive.
