Meg Holloway is back in the studio for the Dare Round — and she's not holding back. From perfectionism to parenthood, this one cuts straight to the heart of why so many women stay stuck. Expect mic drops, a few uncomfortable truths, and a very specific dare that left Michelle sweating a bit…
Being a “good girl” won’t get you the life you really want. It might get you approval, gold stars, and polite applause — but freedom? Fulfilment? Hell no. That starts when you stop toeing the line and start asking the real question: What do I actually want?
💥 In this episode:
- The billboard quote Meg lives by: “If nothing changes, nothing changes.”
- What she’d say to her teenage self (spoiler: it’s not “just believe in yourself”)
- Why little girls seek validation and boys build rocket ships
- The difference between a good girl and a real woman — and why we’re long overdue for an upgrade
- Reframing "selfish" into self-ish — and why that’s not a dirty word
- Why “take messy action” should be your new mantra
- The identity crisis that hits when the kids leave — and how to avoid it
- The dare Meg gives Michelle (and it’s a big one 👀)
- Why perfectionism is just fear in a fancier outfit
💪 Dares of the Day:
- For You: Take messy action. One small, imperfect step. No big plans. No attachment to outcomes. Just do the damn thing.
- For Michelle: Host a She Who Dares Wins in-person event in the next 12 months. No more hiding behind the podcast mic, it’s time to show up.
