We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with. Nora McInerny hosts The Head Start: Embracing the Journey, a new podcast from iHeartRadio and AbbVie, a space to share open and honest conversations acknowledging the struggles we all face, while leaning into the hope and optimism we all share. We’ll hear from doctors, experts, and everyday people who will be sharing their experiences, migraine coping strategies, and major wins, all while building a community of support around an invisible disease that makes every day uncertain: Chronic Migraine.

In Episode 118, Sofia interviews Lucas Botkin! Lucas Botkin is an entrepreneur, innovator, and educator in the firearms industry. In 2013, with just $1,000 and an iPod Touch, he launched T.REX ARMS from a small garage, turning a passion for protection and a vision for innovation into a multi-million dollar manufacturing and retail company. What began as a custom holster business has since evolved into a brand known for high-quality firearm accessories, cutting-edge product development, and a commitment to education. From the beginning, Lucas saw T.REX ARMS as more than just a gear manufacturer. Recognizing gaps in the gun industry, he set out to design and produce high-end products that didn’t yet exist, filling crucial voids in the market. But just as importantly, he envisioned the company as a platform to raise the standards of responsible firearm ownership and personal defense. Through engaging educational content, training resources, and social media outreach, Lucas and his team have built a community that values preparedness, self-reliance, and skill development. On this episode of the She Shield Podcast , we dive into the origins of T.REX ARMS , how the company got its name, and the purpose behind its educational content.

Episode 60 is a re-release of Episode 37. In this Episode, Sofia interviews David Heineman of Stay Safe Martial Arts. David has over 25 years of Martial Arts experience. He started at an early age with Tae Kwon Do, where he reached the rank of 5th Degree Black Belt. David also holds a black belt in Combat Hapkido, and a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. Though Tae Kwon Do was his main focus growing up, he was never satisfied learning just one system. Once David left for college, he began training in Boxing. Seeing how much striking had to offer, he added Muay Thai to his resume through his training with Richard Abraham of Maximus Muay Thai. David did not stop here as he was soon exposed to the world of grappling through Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. David actively trains and competes in Jiu Jitsu under Mike Cimm, while still training striking as much as he can. In addition to these sport based disciplines, David has also worked with some of the most respected instructors in Krav Maga (Aaron Jannetti & Ryan Hoover). The idea behind all of this training is so that he can bridge the gap between sport and street in order to create effective self defense for any violent encounter. David loves teaching self defense to anyone, but his passion is working with women in order to make them tough targets. Throughout college, David taught countless women's self defense courses. After seeing just how many female college students had been a victim of sexual violence, he knew he needed to do more to help prevent this. Once graduated, he spent months traveling the country working with sororities and women's groups across numerous college campuses. David's goal is to be the top instructor in Illinois for women's self defense. When he is not teaching, he is training. When he is not training, he is studying and constantly looking for ways to improve. If you are interested in exclusive content, become a Patreon via the linktree.

In Episode 37, Sofia interviews David Heineman of Stay Safe Martial Arts. David has over 25 years of Martial Arts experience. He started at an early age with Tae Kwon Do, where he reached the rank of 5th Degree Black Belt. David also holds a black belt in Combat Hapkido, and a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu. Though Tae Kwon Do was his main focus growing up, he was never satisfied learning just one system. Once David left for college, he began training in Boxing. Seeing how much striking had to offer, he added Muay Thai to his resume through his training with Richard Abraham of Maximus Muay Thai. David did not stop here as he was soon exposed to the world of grappling through Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. David actively trains and competes in Jiu Jitsu under Mike Cimm, while still training striking as much as he can. In addition to these sport based disciplines, David has also worked with some of the most respected instructors in Krav Maga (Aaron Jannetti & Ryan Hoover). The idea behind all of this training is so that he can bridge the gap between sport and street in order to create effective self defense for any violent encounter. David loves teaching self defense to anyone, but his passion is working with women in order to make them tough targets. Throughout college, David taught countless women's self defense courses. After seeing just how many female college students had been a victim of sexual violence, he knew he needed to do more to help prevent this. Once graduated, he spent months traveling the country working with sororities and women's groups across numerous college campuses. David's goal is to be the top instructor in Illinois for women's self defense. When he is not teaching, he is training. When he is not training, he is studying and constantly looking for ways to improve. If you are interested in exclusive content, become a Patreon via the linktree.
