This episode features Chapter 6 from the book Before It Happens: The Art of Staying Safe Before Violence Starts by David Burnell—a powerful, practical lesson in protecting your most sacred defensive asset: your personal space.
We all have a box—an invisible perimeter built by instinct and experience. In this chapter, David Burnell shares gripping stories and hard-earned wisdom about why controlling your space, setting boundaries, and trusting your gut can be the difference between vulnerability and survival.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why your “box” is your first line of defense
- How intuition signals danger before you see it
- What predators look for—and how to make them look elsewhere
- Why you have the right to deny access to your space, no explanation needed
- Verbal tools to assert boundaries confidently, not confrontationally
- Why distance = time, time = options, and options = safety
From gas stations to crowded sidewalks, from social pressure to real threats, this chapter gives you the mindset and mechanics to own your space, without apology.
This is a single chapter from the full-length audiobook Before It Happens: The Art of Staying Safe Before Violence Starts by David Burnell, available now on Audible, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon.
