Bonus: Dare - How to Make Being an Idiot Your Superpower for Ultimate Confidence

In this week’s She Who Dares Wins Thursday Dare, Michelle flips the idea of confidence on its head. Instead of striving to look polished and flawless, she argues that true confidence comes from being willing to look like an idiot. Through her own story of stepping into a CrossFit gym for the first time, Michelle shows how embracing clumsy, awkward beginnings can lead to growth, self-compassion, and real confidence. You’ll also hear the science behind why we think everyone’s watching us (they’re not), and four practical dares to help you lean into imperfection and boost your confidence.


Key Takeaways:

  • Confidence isn’t about owning the room or being perfect—it’s about being comfortable looking like an idiot.
  • The spotlight effect makes us think everyone is watching us, but in reality, people are too busy thinking about themselves.
  • Exposure therapy: the more you step into scary or uncomfortable situations, the easier it gets.
  • Self-compassion is key: everyone makes mistakes, and it doesn’t make you less worthy.
  • Four dares to try:
  1. Do something badly on purpose.
  2. Share a failure story.
  3. Switch up negative self-talk.
  4. Call out your mistakes as learning moments.
