Episode Summary:
This week, Michelle dares you to do something most people avoid — embrace the unknown.
After 17 years in construction, Michelle opens up about what it’s really like to walk away from stability and step into filmmaking with no guarantees. She shares how reading about Stoicism helped her stop waiting for certainty and start trusting action instead.
Backed by neuroscience, this episode breaks down why our brains panic when things feel uncertain — and how leaning into discomfort can literally rewire you for resilience.
You’ll also hear from two past She Who Dares Wins guests who’ve lived this dare in their own lives:
💥 Jenni, the former police detective who left her pensioned career to work in close protection — learning to rely on instincts instead of procedure.
🌊 Zoe, the teacher-turned-cold-water-swim-retreat founder, who discovered that the same practice that chilled her body also strengthened her mind.
And this week’s dare is a practical one — no “trust the universe” fluff. It’s about building your confidence through rejection and action.
Do something that carries a real chance of rejection.
Send the pitch. Ask for the opportunity. Share the idea you’ve been sitting on.
The goal isn’t to get a yes — it’s to prove you won’t crumble if you get a no.
Because rejection isn’t failure — it’s evidence you’re in the right arena.
