Self defence and personal safety for women - practical strategies for everyday life to move from fear to confidence and stay safe, strong, and empowered.

Hosted by Julie Waite and Dene Josham from Streetwise Defence, this podcast is all about helping women feel safer and more confident in their everyday lives.

Julie shares her lived experiences of what it’s like to face fear and build resilience, while Dene - a security expert of 30 years and former bodyguard to stars like Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Russell Crowe - explains simple, proven ways to stay safe.

Each week we explore our four pillars of self defence - awareness, prevention, mindset, and physical - through real-life situations. From walking home at night and travelling solo to nights out, university life, workplace boundaries, and emotional self defence, you’ll pick up strategies you can use straight away.

If you want to feel confident on the streets, safer at work, or stronger in yourself, this podcast will give you the tools and encouragement to get there.
