In last week’s episode, I talked with Lori Lara: Creator of the Strong Girl Self Defense program, 3rd degree black belt, and all around strong woman.
But Lori surprised me with what’s REALLY behind her self defense teachings. My favorite quote from her? “We protect what we value.”
How are we valuing ourselves? How are we listening to and trusting our intuition? How are we teaching our daughters to do the same? ARE we teaching them to trust their intuition, or are we teaching them poor boundaries and ideas based on being “polite?” For me, it was the latter.
In this show, I process through a few of the things that struck me from my interview with Lori, how I worked through some debilitating mom guilt, and a few ways I’m learning to value myself.
Fantastic! I wish all teen girls and their moms would listen to this. We protect what we value!
