  • 2.11 William Kirk of Washington Gun Law: The Legal Truth Behind Use-of-Force & Self-Defense
    Jan 28 2026

    Season 2 of She Shield Podcast is here! In this episode, host Sofia Espina sits down with William Kirk of Washington Gun Law for a clear, fact-driven conversation on the legal realities of self-defense.

    Known for his apolitical, statute-based approach, William breaks down how use-of-force laws are actually evaluated, the most common legal misconceptions responsible individuals make, and why relying on internet commentary or social media summaries can be risky. Rather than focusing on emotion or opinion, this discussion centers on how the law is written, how context matters after a defensive incident, and what everyday people can do to better protect themselves legally.

    The conversation also explores state-by-state legal complexity, traveling responsibly, and why legal education should be considered a core pillar of personal safety, right alongside training and preparedness.

    This episode is designed for listeners who prioritize self-defense, safety, and responsible decision-making, and who want clarity without politics, fear-mongering, or speculation.

    Jan 13 2026

    Season 2 of She Shield Podcast is here! In this episode, Sofia sits down with health and mindset coach Vicky DiSanto to explore the often-overlooked concept of the defense of self, the physical foundation that supports confidence, capability, and personal safety.

    With over a decade of experience in functional health and mindset coaching, Vicky has helped hundreds of clients work through complex challenges such as weight loss resistance, hormone imbalance, PCOS, perimenopause, and autoimmune issues. She explains why so many people feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” and why one-size-fits-all advice often fails.

    This conversation covers:

    • Why physical health is a prerequisite for effective self-defense and training
    • How stress, hormones, and lifestyle impact energy, focus, and resilience
    • The role accountability plays in creating lasting, sustainable change
    • What it actually takes to rebuild trust in the body and move forward with clarity

    This episode is for anyone who feels depleted, frustrated, or unsure where to start, and wants to take ownership of their health as a critical component of personal protection and strength.
