When the young Nadia Telsey went shopping for jeans in a Brooklyn thrift store and was manipulated into removing her pants by a male employee who was pretending to work in the try-on area, it took her too long to realize something was very wrong. During the ensuing years, Nadia studied and began teaching martial arts and developed a program she called, Self-Defense From the Inside Out. Many years later, after providing training to tens of thousands of students, she teamed up with self-defense trainer Lauren R. Taylor to write and publish a comprehensive workbook for women and other vulnerable groups in the program of Empowerment Self-Defense. Research has shown that learning these methods has been strongly effective in people’s lives.
Get Empowered is about “… protecting ourselves, including our inner selves, from harassment, abuse, and assault… to reduce the barriers that can make speaking up difficult, to gain skills for self-protection, and to [help us] create bigger, more authentic lives.”
Readers will learn to: “Defy the messages telling you to be small and passive, better understand your choices and behavior, gain skills to value and advocate for yourself, make choices that will help you get more of what you want and deserve, and live your life feeling more safe, confident, and free.”
Get Empowered is a valuable gift to give yourself and to your loved ones, offering skills that will keep on giving for a lifetime.
