Welcome to Queenrise Radio - I'm Jackie Hyman and I teach you AND your kids how to speak up for yourselves with confidence and live a safer and freer life through an empowering and simple method of self defense! I'm so glad you're here!
In this episode I dive into one of the MOST requested topics ever: How to advocate for yourself in a relationship that is highly valuable to you- WITHOUT lashing out, being aggressive, or damaging the relationship in any way.
PLUS you will have the opportunity to sign up to my free guide, which lays all the steps out for you with examples, straight to your inbox!

In the Queenrise World, self defense is all about PREVENTION. And doing what it takes to make sure you are well equipped to stop violence way before it EVEN STARTS! So, this episode is all about TRUSTING the little iffy things that show their heads in otherwise great relationships. They warning signs of what is off, what is wrong, or even what may be revealed about someone else down the road.
If you are experiencing one or more of the red flags listed in this episode, you MAY be in an abusive relationship. I'm here to support you, but you may want to consider a hotline. You aren't alone.

This week I am giving you a chance to be your OWN knight in shining armor by delivering the most effective way to respond to harassment, what to do when even that doesn't work, and then what to do when even THAT doesn't work, so that you feel 100% certain that you could handle anything coming your way. Plus, of course, all of the mindset that goes into responding powerfully. Enjoy!
I get questions ALL the time from women who are working on setting better boundaries but end up LASHING OUT when they don't want to.
They are desperate to tow that fine line between letting someone walk all over them, and not wanting to hurt the people they love the most.
This week's episode explores that middle ground and gives you practical tips plus the mindset you need to set boundaries from a calm, centered, peaceful place while remaining authoritative and in power. Enjoy!
This week I speak about what it means to live the life we WANT rather than the safest life, and how self defense (of course, hem hem) helps ease the fear of living life to its fullest!
This episode turned a little heavy as I thought about current events that happened this week, but the good news is that I am delivering
SOMETHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!
Because often when we hear horror stories in the news we feel Powerless.
And then we move through our to-do lists and the rest of our routines like that.
No more.
Listen to this episode for a 3-second exercise that gets you out of a powerlessness funk.
I am sending love and healing to Texas and praying for the families of the lost lives there today.
I went from being wrapped up in an emotionally abusive relationship, unable to even see that what was happening wasn't ok, to being an internet authority on boundaries and abuse prevention. My student went from barely being able to get out a "no" in my workshop, to also becoming a boundaries and self-defense instructor!
Here's what didn't help us make those transformations:
Proof
Truth
Science
Strategy
or even...
REALITY.
In this episode I dig into the secret of what DID help her myself, transform into radically confident badasses changing the world.
This week I delve into:
👊 The real reasons why FIGHTING may be a better choice than running
👊 Why I teach girls and women to FULLY knockout their attackers (yes, you heard that right)
and
👊 The mindset shifts it takes to be able to do that.
I also mention this Reel in the episode: https://www.instagram.com/p/CciP2BDFJmg/
I could teach you self defense moves...
and you might be able to apply them...
depending on what's happening in the moment,
OR
I could teach you the principles of fighting so that you can apply them to ANY situation.
That is what I do in this 7 minute episode.
Enjoy!
Don't get me wrong I am SUCH an advocate for professional therapy!!
But therapists themselves have told me that this one piece is missing from their practice.
Because learning self-defense after trauma isn't just about regaining a sense of control or preventing something from happening again. It's about something MUCH deeper and more healing. Listen to find out what it is.
Did you ever wish you could just KNOW where your boundaries are, without having to THINK about it?! I know I have!
You see, boundaries are that exact line between what is ok with you and what isn't, and that can be tricky because there are sure to be situations in which you may not even be sure if you're okay with what's happening or if it's what you want!
So, today, I am revealing to you the most fool-proof sure-fire way to know EXACTLY what's going on with you and your boundaries WITHOUT having to use rack your brain too much.
This week I am CELEBRATING Episode #10 of the season!
Plus diving into this one difference between terror and abuse will definitely have you thinking 🤔
This time I am asking you a question and I would love your answer. So hit me up!
In this episode I am putting it ALL TOGETHER so that you can apply some simple tools to your day-to-day life, to communicate clearly about what you want, and actually get it!
In this episode I give you:
The Queen of all Queens of the Empowerment Self Defense tools that impacted my boundary setting and healing journey the most.
A concrete tool (no this isn't fluff or just confident feelings) for how to make sure people take you seriously when you tell them "No."
A permission slip to ditch the inter-generational gender conditioning that we must be polite at all times,
and
A reminder (complete with a jingle sung by yours truly 😆) of what it takes to get good at boundary setting.
In this week's episode, I dive into the strongest most influential language on the planet.
It is the #1 thing that helps you exude confidence in a way that says "Back Off Creeps!"
Listen to find out what it is!
In this week's episode, I dive into what you can actually DO when you're having trouble pinpointing whether or not you feel safe with what another person is doing.
Plus, what to do the moment you realize someone is a threat.
Enjoy!
In this episode, I give away my BIGGEST self defense secret, and the most valuable thing people take away from my workshop: a color-coding system for danger, safety, and boundaries, that empowers you to make a choice and know exactly how to respond!
In this episode, I delve into the difference between 'badassery' and true empowerment - why badassery is appealing, but true empowerment is really the way forward.
This week I dive into why we avoid our problems and how mustering the courage to face your fear is a self defense MUST.
In this week's episode, we dive into this controversial topic of victim blame, and safety responsibility.
Is the promotion of self defense putting the "onus" of violence against women in women themselves?
Is that fair?
Where does accountability really need to be taken?
In this episode, I answer all these questions and more...
In this week's episode, we dive into why there is so much mystique around self-defense, why we have such a narrow view of what defines a successful self-defense story, plus all of the self-defense skills that you already have, even without learning anything through formal training.
By now you may have caught wind of the news: enrollment is open for Own Your Throne!
I wanted to spin up a quick, no-frills podcast episode straight from the heart.
I wanted to tell you more about Own Your Throne: how it came to be, who this is for, what I've learned from creating it, and why I think you should apply.
It's a casual coffee-chat style episode, so grab your mug & meet me wherever you like to listen to podcasts!
In this new episode I'm covering:
✅ A behind the scenes peek into Own your Throne
✅ Why you need to stop thinking of self defense and boundary setting in separate silos and start realizing that real confidence and empowerment come from integrating the two.
✅ Exactly how I went from being a quiet passive people-pleasing lady to a confident boundary-setting woman who can take down any man, no matter how big!
✅ How to get to the place where defending yourself and setting boundaries comes naturally to you, so you can walk around feeling free and safe wherever and whenever you want!
✅ More about Own Your Throne & why you should join us!

In 1996, Jill and her family moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Israel, where she has and continues to train and mentor martial artists through their transformation and ongoing journey as instructors of Empowerment Self-Defense.
As the Israel Coordinator of Heroes Circle/ Kids Kicking Cancer Israel and as part of the Personal Safety collective SafeMoves ,(תנועה בטוחה) Jill brings her unique combination of trauma-informed Shorin-ryu Karate, ESD, Liberation Self-Defense and Therapeutic Martial Arts to children, teens and adults all over Israel and wherever ZOOM can reach them.
In this episode, you will learn
💪Why our nervous systems act in ways that don't serve us and how we can change that.

This episode is so important given the current climate around the world, and especially in the USA. The past week has brought up a lot for me and a lot of people I know - going inward and facing some shadows and learning more about the history of the United States and what it means for black people today and how we as white people can live there without experiencing any of the violence and fear that black people do. We cannot look away or brush this under the rug.
So this week I invited a beautiful Black Jewish Woman, Chaya Lev, to raise her voice on the show and share her story with all you Queen Sisters.
Chaya Lev has helped organize peaceful "sister" protests here in Israel to stand in solidarity against police brutality in the United States. She uses dance to heal and as a tool for #DancingOutTheHate. She is a beautiful shining soul and I can't wait to share this conversation with you!
In this episode you'll learn:
💪🏿 How the cross section of being Black Jewish and Female can affect some women.
💪🏿 One Black woman's message for White Jewish women about how we can help heal racism in our society.
💪🏿 How we can better and more sensitively approach Black Jews with out questions.

On today's episode I am SO honored and excited to welcome Lisa Berko, an amazing women's health specialist! Lisa is a pelvic health physiotherapist but also SO much more than that!
She was the first one to really open my eyes to that fact that treating women's pelvic issues can entail much more than just doing some kegels (not bashing them kegels though!).
There is a deep emotional aspect that affects our bodies and our pelvic health can be connected to past events, trauma, or just the way we view that part of our bodies.

This episode is from a Facebook live I had the pleasure of doing earlier this week with the one and only Liba Lurie, Parenting Coach, Psychologist and Mother of Four.
We were supposed to speak briefly to our communities about boundary setting in the current reality, when everyone is at home with their families. We wanted to answer questions like "How do I make that space for myself and express my wants, needs, and expectations in a healthy way?"
Our "brief" discussion ended up going for 35 minutes (!) as Liba gave over gems of wisdom and expertise in the area of helping moms through some tough situations, including Coronavirus and our new daily reality.

We're back with the second installment of our special FEMININE RISING SERIES! Celebrating the new moon cycle means tapping into what this time period has to offer. This new moon cycle is all about burning. Taking anything that is confining us: our divisions, our dualities, and our black and white mindsets, and burning them to the ground. Realizing that the slowing down and isolation of the time is forcing us to carve an individual path to G-d. Happy Passover and Pesach Sameach!
This space will have words in it later. For now, we're getting this episode up and out for y'all between caring for our children and getting all the important things done. We all have so much inner strength. It might not be the easiest thing to access it. But it's there. Thinking of you all. Sending infinite love and blessings for wellness and health - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. xoxo, Jackie

This week's episode is GIANT privilege. I have had the honor of learning an aspect of spirituality, of Torah, that, for the first time, has deeply touched the part of me that is FEMININE. That recognizes our super powers as WOMEN. It has opened my heart and changed my life, and I believe it just may do the same for someone else out there.
On Hanukkah, I bring you some teachings about why stepping into, facing , and enduring the darkness, is the courage that comes from feminine power, and it lies deep within both men and women. My teacher has asked to remain anonymous for now, but all of her teachings are rooted in both ancient texts and modern psychology.
In today's episode you'll learn:
I love this conversation because pelvic health is something that is not often talked about because the functions of the pelvis are sex and things we do on the toilet and... just things we don't often talk about!
But as you know, I never want to compromise on health, so I think it is so important that we have these conversations as it will improve the lives of women everywhere!

We've all heard that "it takes a village" to raise a family. But the truth is much deeper than that. New moms need a very unique and sensitive type of support in the months following childbirth. With many new moms feeling isolated and living far from close family, how can we build a framework to make sure these incredible women get the community, love, and support they need and deserve?
In comes Rachel!
Being one of the most renowned Lactation Consultants in the Jerusalem area and having spent hundreds of intimate hours with new moms during the rollercoaster of the postpartum period, she has deep and thoughtful answers to share with us on the matter.
Did I mention she also happens to be my sister? :)
