Harri is an adventurer, researcher in preventative medicine, and women's health advocate who has spent her life choosing the scary path over the false comfort of security. From solo travel adventures that left her face-to-face with a black widow spider in a steep Thailand ravine to driving a 4x4 completely solo into the desert of Oman, she has continuously tested the limits of her capacity to grow as a person.

But living a life of adventure became a massive hurdle when she began experiencing severe endometriosis symptoms. For years, she suffered from debilitating full-body pain, chronic fatigue, and severe depression. She had to navigate a deeply flawed medical system where women's pain is routinely dismissed, spending two years on a surgical waiting list while being offered standard treatments like birth control and chemical menopause that severely impacted her mental health.

Now, with a qualification in women's health and hormones, she is helping women understand the "language of their biology". She teaches women how to track their menstrual cycles and navigate the four phases—menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—to take back control of their well-being. She is a passionate advocate for self-advocacy, helping women find their voice so they can fight to be heard in a healthcare system that too often ignores them.

In this episode, we delve into Harri’s incredible story of resilience and self-discovery. We discuss the gender health gap and medical research disparities, how our hormonal phases affect our mood and athletic performance, the biological purpose behind our brain’s fear signals, and why we must refuse to define our lives by our highest pain days.

Have you ever stared at a mounting to-do list, surrounded by notebooks filled with strategies, only to realize you are completely paralyzed? The truth is, you don’t need more discipline, another textbook, or more information. You are staying still because you are trying to shame yourself into a new beginning.

In this solo episode, our host Michelle deep dives into why "should" is actually a form of shame—and why shame is biologically and psychologically guaranteed to keep you stagnant. We unpack why doubt is not a lack of information, but an avoidance of uncomfortable feelings. Finally, we explore the sheer vulnerability of admitting what you truly want, why your ego covers those desires up with safe "shoulds," and how you can make the energetic shift to step out of your head and into daring action today.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

• 00:00 – Welcome back! Why more notebooks and information aren't the answer to your stuckness.
• 04:15 – Should is just shame in disguise: The biological impossibility of shaming yourself into a new beginning.
• 08:50 – Why knowledge doesn't suppress doubt and why we must learn to lean into our doubts instead of trying to "fix" them.
• 12:10 – The Anatomy of Doubt: Why doubt is actually an avoidance of uncomfortable feelings.
• 17:30 – Michelle's breakthrough LA acting class moment: The power of sitting with your emotions without the pressure to perform.
• 23:15 – Shoulds vs. Wants: Why "shoulds" are a heavy downward weight while "wants" are your forward evolutionary force.
• 28:00 – Why authentically wanting is terrifying for your ego (and the two massive fears of desire).
• 32:45 – The 10% Shift: A simple visualization exercise to instantly convert your "shoulds" into "wants" and change your energy.
• 37:10 – Accessing the Where Daring Outruns Doubting playbook and finding your tribe.

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

On the trap of "should": "Should is an internal statement that brings shame because if you don't do it, then you've failed. And shame's only job is to stop or stagnate behavior."

On the true definition of doubt: "Doubt is not a lack of information. It's an avoidance of uncomfortable feelings."

On the energetic shift of desire: "Shoulds are like a heavy weight pulling you down. And wants are a forward force propelling you ahead."

On why we protect ourselves from what we want: "Getting what we want will fundamentally redefine who we are as a person, which is a moment of deadly peril for our ego."

Laura and Lily are artists, producers, and the founders of Our House Studios, the first and only female-run recording studio in Leeds. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities in a heavily male-dominated industry, they got tired of waiting for someone to hand them a job and dared to build their own creative space instead.

But taking a massive leap of faith wasn't without its hurdles. Thinking they were taking over a fully functioning studio, they unlocked the doors on day one only to find the space completely gutted, bare, and echoing. They also had to navigate the deep-seated anxiety of being female sound engineers—knowing that any mistake behind the desk could be unfairly blamed on their gender—and deal with older men in the industry doubting their capabilities with "mansplaining".

Now, they run a thriving, three-room creative sanctuary that feels more like a cozy living room than a clinical studio. Built with the help of free labor from their local community, pallets, and coffee sacks, Our House Studios is a testament to what happens when you anchor to a strong "why". They are actively changing the industry by showing that you don't have to know everything before you start, and they are educating the naysayers simply by doing an incredible job.

In this episode, we delve into Laura and Lily’s incredible journey and what it has taught them. We discuss the terror of the "empty room panic," the power of community, how they use "mansplaining" as fuel to prove naysayers wrong, and why asking yourself hard questions and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is the ultimate key to building a life you actually want.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Introduction to Our House Studios and the ultimate dare

04:15 Meeting at a gig and the lack of sound engineering jobs

08:40 Ditching the wait and deciding to take the leap

12:10 The Day 1 disaster: Walking into a gutted, empty studio

17:30 Flipping the mindset and the incredible power of community

28:00 Creating a cozy, non-clinical space for artists

41:20 Building acoustic panels from pallets and doing it for free

45:30 Anchoring to your "Why" when the "How" is terrifying

51:10 Dealing with mansplaining and using doubt as fuel

60:00 The pressure of perfection and asking the hard questions

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

On finding your purpose: "It's not a how, it's having a why, having a reason why you're doing it... If that's solid, then we'll figure out how we'll do it."

On taking up space and proving people wrong: "It isn't anyone's job to educate idiot men... we're educating people just by existing. And opening the studio has made me realize how important it is for everyone in life... to actually really be themselves."

Michelle has spent the last two years interviewing incredible women on the She Who Dares Wins podcast, but today she steps behind the mic solo for the Season 4 finale. After spending a decade navigating the chaotic, male-dominated world of construction as a freelance engineer—while simultaneously juggling side hustles like filmmaking, a plumbing chemical business, and a clothing line—she thought she was just naturally wired for chaos.

But a life of extreme chaos isn't without its mental hurdles. From masking her emotions as a child to living constantly in a "fight or flight" mode to survive moving from project to project, she was unknowingly chasing dopamine. After facing severe burnout that landed her in the hospital and navigating the intense imposter syndrome of quitting her safety-net job to go full-time with her podcast, she realized she could no longer ignore her struggles. Just two weeks ago, she received an official ADHD diagnosis, a revelation that is incredibly common for women in their 40s experiencing hormonal shifts.

Now, she is laying it all out there. It is a deeply personal account of her time in construction, the exhausting reality of masking, and how what many label an "ADHD superpower" can actually be the exact thing driving you to absolute burnout. It takes listeners on a journey into why our brains chase shiny new objects, the reality of double-checking everything out of a paralyzing fear of failure, and the immense relief of finally understanding how your mind works.

In this episode, we delve into Michelle's official diagnosis and what it has taught her. We discuss her transition from film school to a construction site, how she navigated being the only woman on the job, the moment she realized she was burning out, and the exciting new "doubting to daring" format launching in Season 5.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Introduction to the Season 4 Finale and a personal update

04:15 Childhood masking and surviving school as the "funny one"

10:30 Film school in LA to surviving a baptism of fire in construction

16:45 Chasing dopamine: side hustles, chemical businesses, and fight-or-flight mode

23:20 The reality of being the only female engineer on site and battling imposter syndrome

30:10 Navigating motherhood, severe burnout, and the hospital visit that changed everything

34:50 Sacking the safety net, going all-in on the podcast, and facing self-doubt

39:15 The assessment process and the profound relief of a late ADHD diagnosis

45:30 What’s next: Season 5, Dare Club, and moving from "doubting to daring"

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

On the exhaustion of the "superpower" myth: "I was in fight or flight mode for the majority of my career... People are always like, 'Yeah, it's a superpower. It's amazing.' It can be, but it also can get you to this point where you are absolutely exhausted and burnt out."

On the relief of an official diagnosis: "The things that you have beaten yourself up about over the years and made a joke of, made light of, is actually something that is not really coped with well in society... Somebody to tell you that your brain works differently and you just have this sense of relief of like, Okay."

*triggers: This episode includes discussion of depression, mental health crises, cancer diagnosis, and severe road traffic accidents.

In 2019, Beaky Allesch Taylor was experiencing pain in her ribs. Driven by a strong survival instinct, she pushed her GP for answers, leading to an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. When offered a standard treatment plan that carried a 1-in-200 risk of heart disease, Beaky used her background in science and nutrition to do her own research. She discovered her cancer was a rare type, sacked her surgeon when he wouldn't listen to her, and demanded a full mastectomy—proving the life-saving power of being your own biggest advocate.

Vanessa Ruck was a fit, active woman commuting on her bicycle when a car ran a red light, irrevocably changing her life. Sent home from A&E with a diagnosis of mere "bruising," Vanessa actually endured seven years of surgeries, chronic pain, and bedbound days. The trauma left her with multiple mental health disorders, including depression and a paralyzing fear of the road.

Instead of letting the driver who hit her dictate her future, Vanessa made the radical decision to buy a motorbike. Despite crying inside her helmet and battling panic attacks on the side of the road, she fought through the pain and eventually went on to complete the Dakar Rally and the Africa Eco Race—some of the most extreme desert endurance races in the world.

In this special mash-up episode, we delve into two unbelievable stories of radical resilience. We discuss the importance of finding humor in the dark, the reality of living with chronic pain, what it really takes to sack a medical professional when your gut says they are wrong, and why you must stop playing the "good girl" and start shouting to be heard.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Radical Self-Advocacy and Trusting Your Gut

01:45 Beaky: Finding Humor in the Dark

02:40 Pushing for a Cancer Diagnosis

06:30 The "Bag of Minstrels" Risk

08:45 Sacking Your Surgeon

11:15 Vanessa: The Bicycle Accident that Changed Everything

13:50 From "Bruising" to Seven Surgeries

17:20 Chronic Pain and Mental Health Struggles

20:00 The Decision to Buy a Motorbike

21:40 Crying in the Helmet: Facing the Fear

25:20 Refusing to Let Trauma Win

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

"I had to really listen to my gut and really go with how I felt and I had to shout to be heard and to have the treatment that I thought was best for me."

"Getting on that motorbike was something that I can't emphasize enough how hard it was. It took a lot of determination, a lot of strength, and a lot of crying in my motorcycle helmet... I just had to face this determination that I had that I could not let that lady who hit me control everything."

"If you can find humor in the darkest, darkest times, you're probably going to be all right."

Megan Hine is a wilderness guide, survivalist, and TV producer whose career is the stuff of Hollywood movies. From wild camping alone at 11 years old in Snowdonia to handling King Cobras and rigging stunts out of helicopters for major TV shows, she has spent her life making the inaccessible accessible.

But a life of extreme adventure isn't without its mental hurdles. Despite hanging out of helicopters for work, Megan developed a terrifying phobia of them—which she actively cured by learning to fly a paramotor so she could understand air currents. She also had to navigate a heavily male-dominated industry, realizing early on that she would have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition as her male counterparts.

Now, she has written a book detailing her experiences. It is a deeply personal account of her time in the wild, exploring the psychology of survival, the therapeutic benefits of nature, and how we can train our brains to handle everyday situations. It takes readers on a journey into why our bodies naturally crave comfort, and how pushing past that biological urge is the ultimate key to resilience.

In this episode, we delve into Megan’s incredible career and what it has taught her. We discuss the psychology of fear, her encounters with deadly predators in extreme environments, how she handles high-profile celebrities who refuse safety gear, and why, as a society, we need to stop taking the easy route and start getting uncomfortable.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Introduction and claiming the small wins

02:01 A childhood in Snowdonia and solo camping at 11

04:18 How a free beer led to a career in bushcraft

07:37 Navigating the "boys' club" and working twice as hard

09:42 Curing a paralyzing fear of helicopters

12:33 How to build your own outdoor experience and qualifications

15:57 The biology of comfort: why we instinctively take the easy route

18:50 A terrifying encounter with a Mountain King Cobra

22:07 Working with celebrities and enforcing boundaries

24:36 Taking responsibility and getting out of your own way

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

On the biology of procrastination and fear: "If you study the behavior of any animal, it's all like survival is about efficiency and conservation of energy... It's ingrained in our very makeup to take easier options... but resilience is built through taking on challenges."

On the great equalizer of the outdoors: "Nature doesn't discriminate, doesn't care what your walk, where you're from, what your background is... you are going to perform in the way nature performs."

In this episode of She Who Dares Wins, Michelle sits down with Sara, an author and cold water swim guide who has rebuilt her life through divorce, grief, major surgeries, and a near-death experience on the operating table.

From being told she’d never “make it” as a freelancer, to years of rejection before finally landing a book deal, Sara shares how cold water, community, and storytelling helped her find courage, connection, and a new chapter in her 60s.

This one is for anyone who feels “too ordinary,” too late, or scared to put their work out into the world.

Key Takeaways

• Life is short – act now, not “one day”
• Facing heart surgery, failed operations, and grief taught Sara to stop postponing the things that matter.
• Cold water as medicine
• A 10-degree lake became her way back to the outdoors, easing pain, rebuilding confidence, and reconnecting with her body and mind.
• Community over competition
• The cold-water swimming world gave her supportive connection she never found in more competitive sports.
• Social media is a tool, not the measure of your worth
• Instagram can be frustrating, but breaks, boundaries, and real-life connections matter more than algorithms.
• Rejection doesn’t mean your story doesn’t matter
• Years of “no” eventually led to a book deal – and readers now message her to say her stories helped them be braver.
• Dreams feel different when they come true
• Publishing a book was a lifelong dream, but the reality came without fanfare – just the question: “What now?”
• Boundaries change everything
• Learning to say no, choose better people, and set limits helped her finally find the right kind of support.
• Dare: stop hiding your work
• If you want to write, submit something – a pitch, a manuscript, a competition entry. Expect rejection, celebrate small wins, and get your words out of your laptop and into the world.

Today, we’re diving into a conversation that so many women in their 30s and 40s are quietly living through, but rarely saying out loud.

I’m joined again by Jenni, who you might remember from a previous episode, and this time we’re going deeper into what it really looks like to have a non-linear career, a late ADHD diagnosis, and, as Jenni discovered, autism traits on top of it all.

If you’ve ever looked at your CV and thought,

“Why can’t I just stick to one thing like everyone else?”

or woken up already telling yourself you’re behind before the day has even started…

this episode is for you.

We talk about:

• The shame spiral of changing jobs, careers, and directions
• How a late diagnosis of ADHD and autism can trigger both grief and massive relief
• Why so many women in chaotic, high-pressure jobs — like policing, construction, and close protection — only realise later that their brains were never “the problem”
• And how to start moving from self-criticism to self-acceptance, without trying to “fix” who you are

This is an honest, vulnerable, and, at times, very funny conversation between two women who absolutely do not fit the traditional career box — and have finally stopped apologising for it.

So, if you’ve ever felt “too much”, “all over the place”, or secretly broken…

take a breath, grab a cuppa, and let this be your reminder:

you are not broken, and you are definitely not alone.

Let’s dive in.

n this episode of She Dares Wins, Michelle is joined by sisters Mary and Teddy – two women who’ve carved wildly different but equally daring paths from the same family roots.

Mary is a fibrous plasterer working in heritage buildings and a trailblazer in a centuries‑old, male‑dominated trade. Teddy is a dental therapist who walked away from a high‑flying corporate role to work in rural Nicaragua, where she eventually met her husband.

Together they talk about risk, resilience, sisterhood, and what it really looks like to choose the daring route when nothing is guaranteed.

Key Takeaways & Timestamps

[00:02:47] Daring stories: quitting jobs & choosing risk

• Teddy shares how she quit a prestigious international dental job and followed her heart to Nicaragua.
• Mary explains her mantra: “take the risk or lose the chance” and why she always chooses the dare over the safe option.

[00:03:28] Motorway breakdown & battery change – live ‘she dares, she wins’

• The chaotic journey to the studio: Teddy’s car breaking down on the motorway.
• Mary diagnosing the battery, buying tools, negotiating with highway maintenance and changing the battery at the roadside in minutes.

[00:08:02] 500 toothbrushes & an NGO in Nicaragua

• Teddy’s decision to travel with a suitcase of toothbrushes to support an NGO dental project.
• Staying six months instead of three weeks, travelling the country, and eventually deciding to quit her corporate role.
• How this led to meeting her husband and redefining success.

[00:14:06] Mary’s path in a family trade – from “embarrassed” to expert

• Growing up around the family fibrous plastering business and returning after having her daughter.
• Being a woman in a male‑dominated heritage trade when it “wasn’t fashionable.”
• Deciding not just to be a female plasterer, but to be the best and “better than the boys.”

[00:17:16] Resilience, single motherhood & mental strength

• Mary on being knocked down in work and personal life and still getting up every time.
• Balancing running the business, raising her daughter alone, doing admin late at night and still choosing this life for the freedom it brings.
• How challenges that would be “massive” to others now feel manageable.

[00:21:16] Representation, role models & social media

• How Mary’s Instagram makes her visible to young girls who now see a woman on the tools as normal.
• Her daughter questioning words like “firemen” and assuming women run building sites.
• The importance of seeing someone who looks like you doing the thing you dream of.

[00:31:12] What they’d tell their younger selves (and why they wouldn’t change the hard bits)

• Both reflecting on mistakes, especially around relationships and risk.
• Teddy’s intense experience with a brownie in Amsterdam, how it surfaced unresolved trauma, and why she says “go to therapy before you have a brownie (or just don’t do them).”
• The idea that the painful chapters were necessary to become who they are now.

[00:39:25] The craft: heritage ceilings, the Guild & teaching the next generation

• Mary explains decorative mouldings and working on stately homes and castles.
• Her role in the Guild (founded 1509), becoming the youngest and only female journeyman so far, and the rarity of female master plasterers.
• Running workshops, Airbnb experiences and college sessions – creating safe learning spaces where no question is stupid.

[00:49:24] Identity, calling & coming home to yourself

• Teddy’s current RAF clinic role and living on base in Lincolnshire.
• The identity crisis of moving to rural Nicaragua: language, culture, lifestyle all changing at once.
• Realising not every part of her “old self” has to die – some passions and projects are meant to be carried forward into the new life.
