In a world where you're always told to 'be aware,' we're going a step further: we’re teaching you how to walk with purpose. We dive into the psychology behind the 1980 gait study, where inmates were asked to rate the vulnerability of people walking on the street. We'll reveal the key differences in how victims and non-victims carry themselves and discuss how our personal histories—what we call embodied trauma—can affect our body language. Finally, we give you the most memorable takeaway: why you should walk like a trucker to project confidence and deter predators.
