s8e2 - Self-Defense Isn't What You Think


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about safety, confidence, and what it actually means to feel prepared as a woman today.

I’m joined by self-defense instructor and registered nurse Tina Dawn, who breaks down practical, everyday self-defense techniques for women that go beyond what you see in movies. We’re talking about simple but effective strategies you can actually use—like how to protect yourself without hurting yourself, what areas to target if you ever need to react quickly, and why your voice and intuition are some of your strongest tools.

We also get into something that doesn’t get talked about enough: mental preparedness. Learning how to trust your instincts, read situations, and move with awareness can make all the difference.

This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about empowerment. It’s about walking away feeling more confident, more aware, and more in control of your personal safety.

Whether you’ve never thought about self-defense before or you’ve been wanting to learn where to start, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we cover:
  • The most effective self-defense techniques for women
  • Why using your palm is better than throwing a punch
  • The key areas to target in a dangerous situation
  • How to trust your instincts and stay aware
  • Why confidence is your first line of defense
Tune in and take that first step toward feeling stronger, safer, and more empowered.
