Peter Russo
The Gift of Fear class provided insightful strategies for recognizing and trusting our intuition to enhance personal safety. The course effectively highlighted the importance of listening to gut feelings and offered practical tips for applying these principles in everyday situations. Overall, it was an empowering and informative experience. You need to read the book in its entirety before making any judgements.
Ashley Swanson
I loved this class. I learned how to trust intuition and how to spot and get out of dangerous situations. After taking this class I feel better equipped to teach my own children and my students how to stay safe. I would highly recommend this class.

I loved this class and book! It reminded me to trust my intuition, not worry, “no” is a complete sentence, and to stop watching the news. It helped me feel stronger and more aware of when real danger exists.
