Episode 49: Being a DEFENDER and Approaching Life From a Position of Strength with Kara Smith

KARA SMITH IS A DEFENDER.

Kara grew up doing karate and learning self defense and for the past few years that message of self defense has been creeping back into her life. Watching her passion and purpose unfold has been so much fun for me and today’s conversation about being a DEFENDER is one you don’t want to miss.

In this episode:

*Self defense is more than just knowing how to defend your body. It includes all parts of you, including your mind.

*The parallels between defending our body and defending our minds.

*Your weapons of defense for your body are: Awareness and Voice
Your weapons of defense for your mind are: Awareness and Voice (the voice in your head and what you actually say out loud too).

*What are YOU defending? Your life is already reflecting what you care about.

*How to you become more aware and lean into life?

*You are learning and growing and every situation you are in is teaching you something.

*Parenting teenagers and creating tight family bonds. Coming at it as we are learning together instead of being the “authority” figure.

*The big secret to getting along with your teenagers: treating them like you really, really like them.

*The whole defender thing is choosing what you care about and then acting accordingly.

*If you have something brewing inside you, just take the step. The right people will come into your path to guide you and help make it happen.
