Most of us would probably say we fit into one of two categories when it comes to safety. We either feel like a paranoid mess 99% of the time (planning fire escape plans and accidentally spraying your friends with pepper spray) or we don’t give safety much thought (what even is pepper spray?).

At times it feels like there’s no happy middle ground, so we either live with needless anxiety or dangerous ignorance.

In today’s episode, Jordan hears from Robyn Warner, a sexual assault survivor and mother of four who has taught self defense and safety to women and girls for the past 13 years. Her passion is to equip and empower women so that they can be confident and more aware, while not living overcome by fear.
