Everyone Knows You Need a Village

But No One Knows Where or How to Find It

So, we created it, and we are excited to share the Mama Bear Community with you.

First and foremost it's the community every mom needs.

And it's also filled with all the things we know your children need you to know.

"I can't believe how much information is in there. And for free."

-Sarah J. from Phoenix, AZ

Am I too overprotective?

How do I know if I'm doing enough?

Am I giving them too much information?

Am I giving my kids enough information?

How can I be sure that they aren't targeted?

Am I too lenient? Do I give too much freedom?

What will people think of me if I say something?

What will happen if I don't say something?

I don't want to be a helicopter parent.

What if I'm mistaken or I'm wrong?

Will anyone take me seriously?

You're not alone in your worries, mama.

Join us in a safe space where the focus is on empowering solutions.

Tough topics can be brought to light without being blamed, shamed or criticized.

How PREPARED are You Quiz?

Take a quick quiz to assess your plan and preparations for defense.

After getting your results, you'll find quick, enlightening videos around the pros and cons of all the different things considered self defense so you can see where and how your preparations may be lacking.

Or... maybe you'll rock the quiz and we'll offer you a job.

"I scored a 1.2%! But the videos made me feel unjudged and encouraged me to continue in the process - which I really wanted to know. What a true blessing you are doing this work... for so many."

-Kendall C. from Syracuse, NY
