Although both Laura Frombach and Joy Farrow lived completely different experiences, their similarities working in male dominated fields and their desire to help women compelled them to work together to write a book for women and their safety. Laura Frombach was introduced to technology in the United States Army, working on Pershing nuclear missiles. She spent most of her career as a technologist and engineer with IBM, Hewlett Packard, FedEx, Coca Cola Enterprises, Lenovo, and others. A turning point in Laura's life was the aha moment when she correlated her mother's mental illness to domestic violence. She advocates for local domestic violence shelters. She's a TEDx speaker and speaks on women's safety. And Joy Farrow is a retired deputy sheriff with 28 years of experience. She worked road patrol in Pompano Beach, Florida and faced every situation imaginable. After the 911 tragedy, Joy transferred to the Fort Lauderdale Holiday International Airport with Broward's Sheriff's Office to focus on safety of air traveling. In 2017, Joy assisted in the aftermath of the mass shooting at the airport. She's received numerous letters of recommendations and several lifestyle life saving awards. Joy is also a TEDx speaker. She speaks on women's safety. Joy and Laura wrote Street Smart Safety for Women, which came out in October, in an effort to help women learn how to defend themselves, give them the tools to continue pursuing their interests and upkeep their physical and mental well being. It includes modern strategies for women to develop safety intuition, practice defensive living by trying to be persuasion proof, incorporating daily safety practices, tech vigilance, and learning about victim recovery.

After going through the process of healing from a traumatic experience that significantly affected the first two decades of her life, Dr. Amy Hoyt dove into trauma research and found a calling in helping others recover from their trauma. According to Dr. Hoyt, it's important to look inside yourself and see if you have old wounds that are creating subconscious patterns and thoughts that are keeping you small. Toxic stress and trauma can cause autonomic responses to the world, business, and others that keep us playing small. When we heal our wounds, we're able to create new neural wiring and start to think and act differently. Dr. Hoyt is certified in traumatic stress studies by the Trauma Research Foundation. She's been working in the field of trauma for 10 years as a researcher of mass trauma, genocide, and apartheid, and individual trauma. She's an author, podcaster, and speaker, and is passionate about helping others learn to break free from the chains of past trauma using research and science. And, she lives in the Ozarks with her husband and five children.

âForgiveness is actually a conscious decision that we make.â
