Ideal for mothers of children ages 8 & under.
Both of my girls (7&9) grew more confident and comfortable... I feel more confident since my girls have had an introduction to some different safety concerns, and I feel more confident to discuss any further concerns that they may bring up, since I am not starting from scratch.

With even the slightest bit of research, it's easy to find there are dangers here, there and everywhere.
It's so overwhelming many simply stay home and settle for terrible produce from Instacart® and cold food from DoorDash®.
But predators easily reach our children at home online through school issued devices.
The world is the world, and while changing the world may be unrealistic - preparing our children is within reach.

I didn't know how to handle discussions of "scary" safety topics without making them scary by emphasizing the wrong things... I tend to overthink, overexplain and overcomplicate, so this approach helps to keep things on a level that children may more easily grasp.

There's a plethora of contradictory information
to be found online on keeping kids safe.
After teaching self defense classes for over a decade and hearing thousands of stories of how and why women found themselves in unsafe scenarios (as well as studying how perpetrators choose and win over their targets), we know EXACTLY how to address key safety topics so our children don't end up with their own horror stories.
Instead, we prepare children with the tools to turn potentially traumatic experiences into stories of empowerment and increased confidence.

My name is Carrie and, like many in this field, unfortunate life experience led to me making it my mission to empower women and children in prevention.
Unlike the majority though, along with that experience, I have the background, education, and certifications as well as professional experience in helping women and children for over a decade.
From holding a black belt, being certified as a bodyguard, licensed as a private investigator and a forever student of peace, violence, connection & prevention...
The content for PREPARED Kids™ was developed for my own children, as I knew what I needed to teach them but was unable to find safe resources with those lessons.
- Emily C. from Ferndale, MI
🐻 Confidence in seeing & knowing your child's skill set,
🐻 Clarity on where and how to make a difference &
🐻 Courage in creating strategic and intentional lessons.
Because the unregulated self defense and prevention industry is lacking at best, I continue to create and curate content, especially to meet the unrealized and minimized needs.
I weed out the harmful materials made by well-meaning (but unqualified) individuals.
I provide helpful resources so you can create "feel good" strategies that work your values & lifestyle.
I connect you with qualified experts that specialize in providing the exact kind of support you need.
