How to Prioritize Your Safety Over Being Polite: Jumper Cable Example

Summary

What do you do when your instincts are screaming “no,” but you feel obligated to say “yes” to be polite? In this empowering podcast episode, Mandi shares a powerful Q&A moment from her recent presentation in Hawaii, where a woman asked how to break free from the ingrained pressure to always be nice—especially when it could compromise personal safety. 

Through a real-life scenario involving jumper cables and an isolated location, Mandi offers practical, life-saving alternatives that allow women to prioritize safety over politeness. 

You’ll walk away with mindset shifts, verbal strategies, and a reminder that it's okay to say no—because your safety matters more than being polite.
