Michelle Hands – Former Construction Engineer, Full-Time Rule Breaker, Founder of She Who Dares Wins
After 17 years navigating the muddy boots, steel-toe chaos of the male-dominated construction world, Michelle swapped hard hats for head mics and started telling the stories no one else was. The ones about underdogs, quiet rebels, and women who built something bold out of grit, guts, and a refusal to settle.
Michelle’s not here to sell you fairy tales or fluffy affirmations. She’s here to crack open the myths we’ve been fed, hand you the mic, and say—you in or not?
Through raw, real conversations with women who’ve dared to rewrite their lives, Michelle brings you stories that inspire action—not perfection. Whether it's starting over at 40, stepping into your power after burnout, or simply saying “no” without apologising, this podcast is your permission slip to make bold moves and own your path.
Pull up a chair. Bring the good tea. And leave your excuses at the door.
