Trying to find a woman who has not found themselves in a dangerous or unwarranted encounter is harder than finding someone who has. That is one of the many reasons this episode with Nicole Snell is so crucial. Nicole discusses what it means to hone your intuition and assess or de-escalate potential threats in any situation. Nicole also shares her thoughts around the importance of situational awareness, establishing boundaries, and the belief that all women and girls should live without limits despite perceived danger.
Other topics we discussed:
Fear as a tool, not an enemyThe benefits of developing a toolkit versus just ‘safety tips’ for personal safetyAssessing Nicole’s personal self-defense encounters and how she chose to reactHow to establish boundaries when approached or caught off-guard in publicCriticism that women face in the aftermath of negative situationsOutdoor defense and safetyFeeling empowered to live without limitationsNicole Snell is an award winning international speaker, trainer, and self-defense expert specializing in sexual assault prevention education, gender-based violence prevention, and boundaries. Despite her successful 12-year career in TV, she always felt a pull to give back to women. Through connections she developed partnering with a women’s self-defense group she worked with in college, Nicole was introduced to Girls Fight Back. She is now the CEO of Girls Fight Back, Founder of Outdoor Defense, and Lead Instructor with both IMPACT Personal Safety and IMPACT Global.
