Absolutely Unqualified: From close calls to real-world safety skills

"Excellent writing. Elegant craftsmanship. Crisp. Clear. Powerful. Essential reading for those who would be safe, and would keep others safe. This is about safety... and SO much more!" - Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of On Killing and On Combat

She inspires millions of people to stay safe. It started the day she froze.

Her daughter asked for a snack.

That is how it started. A hockey game, a thirty-second walk, and a man who had already decided something about her before she ever saw him coming.

By the time he stopped in front of her in the hallway, she had a daughter's hand in each of hers. She put her head down and did nothing.

She was a pediatric ICU and sedation nurse. She had spent years caring for children whose injuries she is still careful how she describes. She knew better than almost anyone what people are capable of.

And in the moment it mattered, none of it moved her feet. She was holding her daughters' hands.

So, she taught herself. No badge, no security background, no funding. Four children under nine and an alarm set for 4:30 in the morning.

Her training has since reached the United States Court System, Fortune 500 security teams, university campuses, and Grubhub delivery drivers.

This is her story, and the training she developed to keep you safe.

How predators actually choose, and how fast. How to spot danger before it finds you. How to become a hard target and build the kind of confidence that stays.

Most safety advice starts when the trouble does. This starts earlier, with seeing it coming, because the mother holding two small hands and the nurse who cannot leave her patient may not get the choice to run.

She never felt ready. She started anyway.
