On Today's Episode:

Does the thought of defending yourself sound empowering or frightening? If someone were to cross a physical boundary with you, do you feel prepared and capable of protecting your boundaries?

Safety is a primary concern when you are human, and it is even more of a concern when society isn’t doing the best job making you feel safe or capable of keeping yourself safe. Don’t dress that way and attract unwanted attention they say. Don’t walk alone late at night or early evenings they say. Often women are left feeling like the victim long before a crime or a siituation has occurred.

Eve Torres Gracie is a Self Defense expert and instructor at Gracie University of Gracie Jiu Jitsue. She’s opening the conversation with how the core lof self defense for women is to feel confident and to be able to enforce boundaries. Defending your boundaries and giving yourself permission to know that you are worth defending is key.

At this Rad Con Live event Lisa is joined by Celebrity Makeup Artist, Molly Roncal, Co-Founder of Bossbabes, Danielle Canty, Holistic Psychologist, Nicole LePera, and Self Defense Expert, Eve Torres Gracie. The conversation gets open and extremely vulnerable. Discussing aging and insecurities around beauty, scars, and self-worth isn’t easy to do openly, but as women we need to be able to have these conversations.
