The Women Aware and Prepared Podcast Host, Mandi, shares a story in the news of a young woman attacked after being kind and giving her attacker the benefit of the doubt. 

LESSONS LEARNED RECAP

Lesson 1 = The goal is to escape an attack. We use a moment of distraction to get away. Mandi discusses this further in the book she wrote: “Two Things To Know About Pepper Spray: Do This First.”

Lesson 2 = We are brought up as women to always be nice. Let’s unlearn that!

Lesson 3 = If you find yourself being attacked, fight back and never give up!

Lesson 4 = Call the police right away.  

Lesson 5 = It’s never too late to report an attack or abuse.

The primary purpose of the Women Aware and Prepared Podcast is to educate and inform. This podcast series does not constitute advice or services.
