A Shaolin monk once told me Lisa we are here to get the teachings from our generation and deliver it better for the next generation! Today I want to share what I learned as a woman in the last 36 years and what I want to give for International Women's Day.
I wished someone told me in my teens that I could leave situations any time and I didn't have to be kind and stay.
I wish someone told me earlier to trust my gut feeling about my career and personal life
I wish someone told me to say no without feeling guilty
I wish someone told me earlier that it is ok to show yourself on a stage and share the stage with other women without feeling ashamed!
In one situation I did not do all of that and it became a life-threatening situation a friend of a friend choked me at a fancy rooftop bar party in Lisbon. On the dancefloor in between all the people. I froze no one helped. Fortunately, he let go and I run away! After this event, I was ashamed to share the story and told myself I never wanted to be in this situation ever again. I started a self-defense course and boxing classes but I got injured a lot of times!
Corona came and we started with friends a platform called Epunx where we offered online boxing classes because women didn’t feel comfortable going to a boxing gym alone.
Then I realized it doesn't make sense for a woman to train for the most dangerous and physical situation again and again. I went on a 4 years journey to learn from the best of the best what I can to foresee or prevent escalation situations and apply fast reactions!
Most of the time we are on a mission or have a plan, go to work, are late for a meeting or meeting this friend, or whatever plan we have that we ignore our surroundings an not listen to our instinct and be present in the moment. We do not look around listen if someone is following us or take the shortcut through a dangerous area because we are late. But we have a natural gift which is called intuition that warns us before the situation gets dangerous!
I learned from ex-militaries, self-defense trainers, spiritual leaders and psychologists what it takes to prevent a situation, react correctly, and get out of it fast, and it's anything else than just applying physical self-defense..
Now this story has become my life mission and I am helping women and teams worldwide in my Safer Women Program to overcome their fears and feel safe in their surroundings! I lived 6 years abroad and traveled the world alone. I could never imagine in my 20s even going for lunch alone..
This knowledge is precious and I must share it this honest with the world. I never shared it with my home country but I came back to Germany and today for International Women's Day I am offering my Safer Women Program which is 36 years going through any unwelcoming situation you can imagine and giving this back to all the women and men out there that they don't have to experience the same…
there is no need to freeze
there is no need to feel ashamed
there is no need to feel less worthy!
It's time that we support each other, look out for each other, and encourage us to love ourselves and give back!
If you do not feel safe in your surroundings or are nervous to speak up for yourself on any occasion then this is for you. Today I am sharing my Safer Women Program a 4 weeks intense coaching program with weekly personal live support and the best community in the world for just 97€ instead of 1500€. If you know someone who needs this please share the link today. We have the program in German and English available!
