Kelly Sharp joins Greta Hotmer to discuss women's safety, situational awareness, self-defense, intuition, and boundaries. Learn to recognize red flags, trust your gut, and build practical self-protection skills without living in fear.

I am thrilled to introduce you to my guest and friend, Kelly Sayre of Diamond Arrow Group and author of “Sharp Women:Embrace Your Intuition, Build Your Situational Awareness, and Live Life Unafraid”. Kelly is dedicated to helping prevent trauma and save lives through situational awareness training and is someone I have been eager to have on and to have a conversation with.

There has been so so much coming out over the past few weeks that is incredibly upsetting and can leave people with a sense of feeling powerless and heartbroken. I hope that our conversation helps to remedy that with great information, insights, and ways to help you feel more empowered and safe.

Please share this with anyone whom you think may benefit from our conversation. And as always, thank you for being here.

From my heart to yours,

Greta

I’m very excited to introduce you to my friend, one of my teachers, and an incredibly inspiring human, Nick Hughes.

Nick has spent most of his adult life dealing with real-world violence, not the theoretical kind. He served in the French Foreign Legion’s parachute regiment, worked worldwide as a professional bodyguard for Saudi royalty, VIPs, and rock stars, and has taught self-defense and Krav Maga for over 40 years.

He’s also a professional boxer, author of How To Be Your Own Bodyguard, and holds black belts in basically every martial art.

I actually met Nick when I was 15, when he would come spar us teenagers for our belt tests. At 6’8” and 270 lbs, he was just a little intimidating. 😂 Those sessions were about finding the courage to stand toe-to-toe with someone who could absolutely wreck you…not about winning haha.

But Nick’s work goes far beyond fighting. In recent years, he has become a hypnotherapist and coach, helping people get “under the hood” of their minds, update the programming they’ve been carrying since childhood, and break through beliefs that may be holding them back.

In this conversation, we go deep into the psychology of violence, self-defense, fear, the subconscious mind, personal transformation, and why training the mind and body matters, especially for women.

I hope you enjoy this conversation. If you do, liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing helps more people find the podcast.

In gratitude,

Greta

A few weeks ago, my podcast nightmare happened in real life. I had an awesome interview with up-and-coming indie filmmaker Evan Alderson, signed off, and then realized I hadn’t recorded ANY of it. Mortified doesn’t even begin to cover it. Thankfully, Evan was incredibly gracious and agreed to do it all over again. The irony of not pressing record while interviewing a filmmaker is not lost on me. 😅

Evan made the unexpected choice to turn down a “deal of a lifetime” in Hollywood because he decided he wasn’t for sale. Instead, he left LA, moved to Colorado, started his family, and continued building his career as an independent filmmaker on his own terms.

In this conversation, we talk about indie filmmaking, creativity, risk, Hollywood, making your own opportunities, and what happens when you stop waiting for permission and start following your own path.

Evan is currently in post-production on his feature-length horror film Devil in the Trunk, filmed entirely in Colorado with an all-Coloradan cast and crew.

We also talk about why constraints can actually make you more creative, the business of filmmaking, storytelling, following the doors that open, and why you have to decide what you’re willing to sacrifice for the life you want.

As someone also building a creative life and career here in Colorado, I’ve loved discovering the incredible community of filmmakers and creatives here who are proving that you don’t have to wait for permission to make the thing you’re called to make.

If you’re a filmmaker, Evan is also teaching a four-day Film Intensive starting October 4th, covering how to develop, finance, produce, and distribute a feature film. Go here for more info: www.filmintensive.com

Whatever your creative pursuit is, I hope this conversation leaves you feeling a little more inspired to trust that call from within and go for what lights your soul up.

Please share this with anyone you think might benefit from this conversation. ❤️
