Welcome! I'm Nicole Snell, the CEO of Empowered Journeys and Girls Fight Back and the Founder of Outdoor Defense. I travel around the US and the world speaking to and training women and gender inclusive groups with my interactive, evidence-based, and empowering violence prevention programs.
I work with companies of all sizes and from all industries as well as universities, the US Military, outdoor groups, conferences, tribal nations, private groups, and more.
I will teach you and your groups simple and practical verbal and physical
empowerment-based personal safety and self-defense skills. These will help you manage your safety, recognize manipulative behavior, increase your awareness, set boundaries, develop healthy relationships, uncover unconscious bias, embark on solo adventure, travel with confidence and open up your world!
When we can alleviate our fear, we can live without limits.
You are fully capable of defending yourself!
BE LIMITLESS!
Let me show you how!
