That decision led her back to a note she’d written in a old notebook: the&nbsp;Odyssey method.</p><p>Originally developed at Stanford’s Life Design Lab by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the Odyssey method is a practical, science-backed way to imagine and design multiple possible futures – not just one “perfect” path.</p><p>In this episode, Michelle walks you through:</p><ul><li>Why she quit her part-time construction job&nbsp;and how it freed up energy for a life that feels more aligned</li><li>What the Odyssey method is&nbsp;and how it links to manifestation, neuroplasticity, and the way our brains spot new opportunities</li><li>The problem with chasing one perfect plan&nbsp;and how functional fixedness keeps us stuck</li><li>How to sketch out three 5-year life paths:</li><li>Path 1: Your current life, but the A+ version</li><li>Path 2: The pivot path if your current industry disappeared</li><li>Path 3: The wild card path you’d choose if money, fear, and other people’s opinions didn’t matter</li><li>The&nbsp;four questions&nbsp;to rate each path: resources, likeability, confidence, and coherence with your values</li><li>How Michelle’s own “path three” led to the&nbsp;podcast, studio, film work, and clothing range&nbsp;that built She Who Dares Wins</li></ul><p><strong>This week’s&nbsp;dare:</strong></p><p>Spend&nbsp;15 minutes a day&nbsp;sketching out your three Odyssey paths.
