the diamond Defense Podcast
We've launched a podcast to focus on women's safety
On the Diamond Defense Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Thew and Kellie Yvonne Raines, we're going to be talking all things women's safety and self-defense. We'll be offering tips, tricks, & strategies for staying safe out there. Plus we'll also be hearing from a lot of ladies who, maybe just like you, have a story to tell that could help keep someone else safer.
Our first episode "Awareness" addresses our very first line of self-defense, our instincts, and delivers some truly impactful stories that pack a punch we can all learn from.
Watch for Episode 2, "Confidence," to drop on Saturday, 9/13. We'll get into why confidence is actually a form of self-defense, and how it can deter predators. Our guest storyteller, Kelley, recounts a very scary experience in Chicago where she had to muster up all her confidence to stay safe.

At Diamond Defense, we believe that self-defense training for women is not just about physical techniques, but also about mental and emotional awareness. We teach our students to be mindful, confident, and aware so that they're able to avoid becoming targeted in the first place.
