Safety Tools for You, Your Home, and On-the-Go
Not all situations require lethal force, so I offer you options for layering your protection.
What do you carry for personal protection?
Lethal? Great, glad to see you are safety minded, what's your back up plan for the situations that don't justify lethal force?
Nothing? Why not, isn't your life worth the fight?
Pepper spray? That's smart, always good to have a distance tool! What do you carry for up close?
Think about it, a police officer doesn't just carry a gun...he or she also has a kubaton, mace, taser, and more.
So why wouldn't YOU layer your protection?
I offer safety tools for all ages, even for the young ones in your life.
Plus many of these safety tools carry a LIFETIME WARRANTY, and you get personalized education on how to use the tool from ME!
Interested? Curious? What to know and see more?
I'm happy to make recommendations based on you and your needs. In the meantime, take a look and reach out with questions.

My name says it all: safety is my passion.
Sharing tips and advice about safety across various topics has become my top priority.
Take a read at these blogs and put them into practice.
July marks the busiest travel month of the year, filled with family vacations, holiday trips, honeymoons, and business travels. Being prepared and staying safe are crucial no matter where your adventures take you. Begin by thoroughly researching your destination, including its customs, norms, and weather, to pack appropriately and respect local practices.
Maintain a high level of situational awareness from the moment you leave home. Be cautious of who is around you, especially when handling sensitive information like credit card details. Additionally, be mindful of your social media activity; refrain from posting your travel plans in real-time to avoid attracting unwanted attention to your absence.
For those traveling with valuables, use RFID-blocking wallets or purses to protect your credit card information. Always secure your accommodation by checking all entry points and considering additional security measures like door/window alarms. Stay vigilant about your personal safety by ensuring someone at home is informed about your whereabouts and having necessary safety tools within reach. Happy, safe travels!

Now that you have tossed that graduation cap, packed up your dorm room, it’s on to the next chapter of your life! Congratulations on reaching this milestone! While these times are so exciting, they can also be somewhat scary, and maybe even a little uncertain. Whether you are settling into your hometown or starting fresh in a new area, keeping safety in mind is key. Here are some tips to help you feel prepared and not scared.
- Stay Aware: No matter the time of day, stay tuned in to your surroundings. Notice the people, cars, and even the animals around you, anything that could potentially become a threat. Not doing this to become paranoid, but it’s important to establish a baseline of what is “normal” to the area. Getting a feel for what is normal in your area helps you spot anything out of the ordinary quicker.
- Share Your Plans/Location: As you begin to explore the new neighborhood, share with a trusted friend your location or itinerary, it’s like having a safety buddy just in case there is an emergency. And don’t forget to stay connected to your family and friends regularly.
- Secure Your Space: If moving into a new apartment, make sure you check all door locks and any window locks for windows that can be easily accessible from the outside. Always use the deadbolt. Adding an additional door lock or alarm can give you some peace of mind.
- Social Media Safety: While you are eager about your new adventure, be careful how much information you share on social media. Revealing too much information, such as your new address (even standing at your front door in a picture can show a house number), can attract unwanted attention.
- Arm Yourself Safely: Think of yourself like a superhero gearing up for action. Consider a pepper spray for a distant threat, or a stun device or striking tool for up-close defense. Having these safety tools on you at all times while out and about, and having them in your hand, not buried inside your purse is so important. The first 20 seconds of an attack is crucial, so be ready to defend yourself.
- Know Your Tools: It’s not just about having safety gear; it’s knowing how to use it effectively. Do you know the proper way to deploy pepper spray? Or that it expires? Can you use a stun device as a distance tool? Educate yourself, it could just save your life!
- Emergency Contacts: Keep a list of emergency numbers readily available. The local police, fire and emergency needs, and your apartment manager or superintendent.
- Know Your Neighbors: Know your neighbors, your apartment manager might point you to a friendly face who’s been around awhile. Introduce yourself to them, as you are comfortable, as they can become a valuable resource to you.
- Maintenance Matters: Make sure you change the batteries in any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors, and keep those changed regularly. Most recommend twice a year as the time changes.
- Trust Your Instincts: Last, but definitely not least, trust your gut! Your instincts are usually spot-on, so if something feels off, listen to it!
Best of luck with your new move, and know that keeping these safety tips in mind should become a habit, but will take some time if you aren't already safety minded. Start with a couple of these and build on them as you go, but I would suggest making your safety a top priority.

Have you ever thought, "What would I do if I was attacked?"
Most people haven't thought about it, but I'm here to teach you why you should.
I have asked that question many of times, and occasionally I get scream, kick, or hit; but most of the time I get blank stares or the deer in the headlights look.
Why would you not think about it? Being situationally aware, being prepared, and having a plan is key to your safety.
I want to offer safety solutions to meet your needs, your lifestyle and your budget.
Let me give you some perspective on why I do what I do, and why YOUR safety is important to me.
DID you know that statistics show:
✓ 1 in 3 will experience domestic violence
✓ 1 in 5 women will be assaulted in their lifetime
✓ 1 in 4 college-aged girls will be assaulted, many during the Red Zone
✓ 1 in 4 girls will be assaulted before the age of 17
✓ 1 in 6 boys will be assaulted before the age of 17
Don't become one of the statistics!
Not trying to create fear, only education and awareness.
If you are one of the statistics, please know there is hope and healing, and being equipped can help you gain back your confidence and empowerment.

Meet Your Safety Educator...
Teaching women how to always be alert, aware, and armed!
Hello, I'm Kim Rodeheaver, aka Safety Is My Mission, I have been a Safety Educator with Damsel in Defense since 2017. Personal safety became an important issue in my family when my daughter was living away from home for the first time while attending college out of state. Wanting to ensure she was educated and equipped for that what-if scenario, I found this company and the most amazing safety tools out there.
I jumped in with both feet, equipping and educating myself, my daughter, friends and family, and soon began building a full team of Safety Educators all across the United States. Speaking to women in various settings, such as in their personal homes, women's groups at churches, lunch and learns with businesses, or even scheduling a get together with friends at a local restaurant has become such an important part of my life. My goal is that when I ask the question "What would you do if you were attacked?", every woman will have an immediate answer, a plan in place, and have a safety tool in hand to be able to respond appropriately.
I want to teach everyone how to be alert, aware and armed for different situations. I have taught many individuals, women, men and children and would love the opportunity to begin working with you. Let's chat about scheduling a safety class, equipping yourself and those you love, or even joining me on this mission.
Don't forget, always be alert, aware, and armed!
