  • Late-Diagnosed ADHD in Your 40s: Unpacking the Chaos, the Burnout, and the "Superpower" Myth

    Late-Diagnosed ADHD in Your 40s: Unpacking the Chaos, the Burnout, and the "Superpower" Myth
    2026/06/23
    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 update04:15 Childhood masking and surviving school as the "funny one"10:30 Film school in LA to surviving a baptism of fire in construction16:45 Chasing dopamine: side hustles, chemical businesses, and fight-or-flight mode23:20 The reality of being the only female engineer on site and battling imposter syndrome30:10 Navigating motherhood, severe burnout, and the hospital visit that changed everything34:50 Sacking the safety net, going all-in on the podcast, and facing self-doubt39:15 The assessment process and the profound relief of a late ADHD diagnosis45:30 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."🔗 LINKS + MENTIONS:Sign up for the newsletter to get your weekly dares: www.shewhodareswins.comJoin the Dare Club community: A space where daring outruns doubting🎙️ WANT MORE?Jenny - our deep dive into the realities of ADHD, Autism, and understanding neurodivergence: hereAmanda Perry - discusses unlocking ADHD in business, survival, and triumph: here💌 LOVE THIS EPISODE?Subscribe on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcastsLeave a 5⭐ review – it helps more people discover these storiesWatch all Episodes on YoutubeJoin Dare Club NowWhat are the specific signs of burnout you experienced?Join Dare Club To Chat with other women who have similar experiences Hosted on Acast.

  • Conquering Fear and Redefining Your Limits: Inside the Mind of a Celebrity Survival Expert

    Conquering Fear and Redefining Your Limits: Inside the Mind of a Celebrity Survival Expert
    2026/06/09

    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."
