From the time we were little girls, we’ve been given a list of things to do and not to do in order to stay safe. But what are you supposed to do when you are attacked out of the blue? Today we get honest about a recent scary situation that Andrea found herself in and work through the loaded question - what would you do?
Listen as we dive into:
- Our cultural obsession with true crime
- Why you might want to post about a scary situation online
- If publicly shaming people for their bad behavior is a good idea
- What fight / flight / freeze really feel like
- Why "What would YOU have done?" is a terrible question
- What you will likely feel in the aftermath of being threatened
- What you SHOULD say to someone who has been attacked
Plus, Andrea is activated the whollleeeeee episode; Jess is emotionally - though not literally - rendered speechless; and Andrea and Jess reminisce about the good olde days of carrying keys between their fingers, just in case you need to fight off an attacker (what the hell are we going to do now with our fobs?).
And we swear... we swear a lot. You have been warned.
