Working Alone: How to Stay Safe at the Office

In this week's episode of Safe Realty, I discuss how we as, lone workers, encounter issues with working alone in an office, walking to our car in the dark, and meeting unsavoury people in our office spaces. 

Those are the topcis we tackle on today's episode. We can work safely at the office and find our way home every night. 

In this episode of Safe Realty, you will learn:

  • how to reach your car safely in the dark, in a bad area, or when you are alone

  • how to give the appearance of not being alone and work in your office feeling confident

  • protecting your valuables from theft

  • extra tips and tricks to ensure your safety

Survivor Mentality: Facing the Unexpected

In this episode of the Safe Realty Podcast, I am  joined by my husband, James Cutler, a retired police officer, to discuss his take on the highest risk situations.

You know when we go for a run, or show a remote property to a sketchy client, or find ourselves alone in a parkade at night with a stranger? What would you do if that person attacked you and the fight for your life was on?  

Today James gets honest and shares a harrowing personal story from his policing career that highlights the critical nature of decision-making in dangerous encounters. The conversation emphasizes the need for mental preparedness, the empowerment that comes from believing in one's ability to survive, and practical techniques for self-defense that anyone can use in a crisis.

We discuss violence and worst case scenarios, so please take care while listening today.
