She talks about the structure and organization of the classes, the diversity of the instructors and participants, and the physical and emotional challenges of the class. She also discusses the importance of learning to trust and act on instincts, which was a key theme in the class and a concept discussed in the book "The Gift of Fear" recommended by one of the instructors. She briefly agrees with the idea that learning personal defense skills can be beneficial in everyday life. Whitney encourages listeners to consider taking personal defense classes and shares resources for finding them.
