Sharp Women: Embrace Your Intuition, Build Your Situational Awareness, and Live Life Unafraid

by Kelly Sayre

For years, women’s self-defense courses have focused on handling physical altercations, while domestic violence advocacy has circled around helping women who are already in abusive relationships. Meanwhile, the statistics on violence committed against women have remained stagnant for decades.

It’s time to make a change.

As a woman, you have unbelievable intuition skills. You notice when a loved one is "off." You feel the vibe or energy of a place. Your amazing instincts help you take care of others. What if you could use these natural abilities to build your situational awareness and avoid a physical fight? What if you could learn to recognize the red-flag behaviors and get safe before the violence starts?

Now, you can! In Sharp Women , Kelly Sayre breaks down ways for women to deal with everyday situations using their best self-defense weapon—their intuition. In this book, you’ll discover how to sharpen your natural skills, build a solid plan to protect yourself, and move forward through your life with confidence.


As founder and president of the Diamond Arrow Group, Kelly Sayre empowers women to live life on their own terms using non-physical, proactive situational awareness tactics that expose and avoid threatening situations before they happen.

A fantastic book about the importance of situational awareness and trusting your intuition with lots of actionable information. It is extremely relatable and gets us thinking more deeply about our daily habits. Highly recommend Kelly’s book to all of those who want to take more control over their safety. Knowledge is power. This is one area of our lives where the more knowledge we have, the better.

This was a great beginners book to situational awareness and reconstructing boundaries as a woman. It brought a lot to light of how our childhood shapes the way we respond in situations and “please” people as adults. I don’t have kids, however I think anyone who does or wants to, should give this a read to keep in the back of their mind while parenting.

I liked this book a lot more than The Gift of Fear. Sharp Women has a lot of very practical advice on safety and situational awareness. The stories are paired with actionable information on what to do if you find yourself in a similar situation. It is also a very quick read.
