EP.96: Reclaiming Safety After Trauma & What It Taught Me About Power w/ Tyler Blankchtein | The Ambitious Podcast
Description
In this episode of Ambitious, I am joined by Tyler, a self-defense instructor and personal protection specialist with Masada Tactical. Tyler shares her incredible journey of overcoming trauma and reclaiming inner power through Israeli combat training. We discuss the profound transformation that self-defense training can bring, especially for women considered 'too much' or 'aggressive'. Tyler talks about the importance of mental toughness, confidence, and self-trust, and how learning to be both 'soft and savage' can make you feel safe and empowered. We also explore the concept of true masculine energy and the need for strong men who can hold space for a woman's highest potential. This episode will change the way you think about power, safety, and self-trust as a woman.
