Have you ever wondered how you can enhance your personal safety without relying solely on physical defense? In this episode of Navigating H.O.P.E., Dr. Jaime Hope is joined by Dawn Armstrong, the founder of Think Safe Seminars. Dawn shares her expertise in navigating everyday threats by developing awareness habits and utilizing non-physical defense strategies. The discussion covers practical tips for staying safe in various environments, from recognizing potential dangers to using de-escalation techniques and leveraging everyday items for protection. Dawn emphasizes the importance of cultivating a mindset that empowers individuals to take control of their safety and make informed decisions in moments of uncertainty. Key Takeaways: ✅ Build habits of awareness by stacking safety practices onto your daily routine. ✅ Trust your instincts and recognize when something feels off, even if you can’t immediately identify why. ✅ Use non-physical strategies like de-escalation and confident body language to prevent violence. ✅ Incorporate everyday items, such as a shopping cart or your phone’s flashlight, into your personal safety plan. ✅ Cultivate a survivor mindset to respond effectively in challenging situations. Quotes by Dawn Armstrong: "Your instinct only has one job, and that is to keep you safe." "By being aware, you buy yourself a few seconds to make another decision that will help keep you safer."
