Episode Synopsis

On February 22nd, 22 year old Laken Hope Riley was found dead at the University of Georgia campus after going out on a run. While I like to keep topics on this podcast light and happy, I couldn’t shake knowing she isn’t the only one who fell victim to this. And as a female runner, I knew we needed to have a conversation about how women can feel safer running. So in this episode, I have Jodi from Go Guarded here to discuss what women can do to feel safer on their runs.00:00Introduction and Background01:15Jodi's Running Story and GoGuarded11:28Building Safer Communities16:02The Importance of Community23:28Introduction and Not Today Mother Fucker Movement24:24The Story of Kelly Herron26:10The Importance of Self-Defense and Confidence27:41Being Situationally Aware31:26Safety Tips for Women Running Alone37:24The Impact of Fighting Back42:31GoGuarded and the Challenges of Selling45:57Closing Thoughts and the Strength of the Female Runner CommunityAbout Jodi  Jodi is the Founder and CEO of Go Guarded.Connect with Jodi Instagram@go_guardedWebsite https://goguarded.com/Connect with Dr. KatInstagram-  @Runwithkat_dptTik-tok- @Runwithkat_dptFacebook Group- RunwithKat ShowWebsite- RunwithKat.net
