Speaker. TEDx Speaker. Self-Defense Expert. Trainer. Adventurer.

Welcome! I'm Nicole Snell, the CEO of Empowered Journeys and Girls Fight Back and the Founder of Outdoor Defense. I travel the US and the world speaking 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, healthcare teams, tribal nations, private groups, and more.


Self-defense education is about more than physical skills!

Learn simple and practical verbal and physical empowerment-based personal safety and self-defense skills that will help you: manage your safety, recognize manipulative behavior, increase your awareness, set boundaries, develop healthy relationships, respond to uncomfortable or dangerous encounters, uncover unconscious bias, embark on solo adventure, travel with confidence and open up your world!

I can help you alleviate fear so that you can open up your access to the world.

Let me show you how to be LIMITLESS!
