016. Defending Yourself from Attack: Beth Warford

Gurus & Game Changers

Fear, dread, anxiety; we’ve all experienced these emotions when confronted with an uncomfortable situation. What if you had the power to deter a potential attacker with just a glance? Join us as we talk to Beth Warford, founder of PrettyLoaded.org, a personal security and situational awareness expert, who shines a light on the importance of personal safety, situational awareness and the various types of predators we encounter in our everyday lives. After being stalked and confronted by a potential attacker, Beth realized she was unprepared to protect herself and her children. This terrifying experience led her to create PrettyLoaded.org, a company dedicated to training people on personal safety and avoiding becoming a victim. We discuss various types of predators and the importance of being aware of our surroundings at all times. Beth emphasizes the power of non-verbal cues and body language in deterring potential attackers. She shares practical advice on how to identify pre-attack indicators and how to respond to them swiftly. We also delve into the psychology of fear and how it can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Fear can often paralyze us in potentially dangerous situations, but Beth believes that awareness and preparation can transform this fear into empowerment. In the final segment of the episode, we address the paramount importance of child safety. Beth provides invaluable insights on how parents can ensure the security of their young ones and the steps they can take to avoid dangerous situations.
