What If Playing It Safe Is The Riskiest Choice? A Convo With Author, Sahrit
Wed Feb 04 2026
Fear doesn’t vanish; it changes shape when we decide to move anyway. That’s the pulse of this conversation with author and adventurer Sahrit, whose new book, The Girl Who Doesn’t Go on Roller Coasters, charts how a cautious identity gave way to a braver life. We trace her journey from a hyper-vigilant childhood in Jerusalem and a people-pleasing adolescence to the jolt of mandatory military service, where protecting others forced a new relationship to risk and responsibility.
The story turns on one decision: say yes to skydiving or accept a lifetime of no. Sahrit breaks down how she managed panic by labeling the real fear moments, stacking comfort through a playful instructor, and surrendering to awe midair. That single leap sparked an identity shift and a compounding “snowball of courage.” From there, she pushed edges thoughtfully: scuba certification after seven days of almost quitting, paddle boarding with humpbacks on an inflatable board, and gorilla trekking in Rwanda. Each yes made the next yes possible.
We dig into practical courage. Reframe safety myths with real context—staying home isn’t inherently safer—and choose risks that buy meaning, skills, and self-trust. Build rituals that calm and energize: mirror self-hype, music, breath, and the 528 Hz love frequency. Dance becomes a lab for bravery, where expression replaces comparison, and the body learns it is safe to be seen. Along the way, synchronicities like repeating 528s show up as winks to keep going.
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, this is your nudge to take a smaller, sooner step. Define the few truly scary seconds, design support around them, and act today. Then do it again before fear grows back. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review to tell us the one fear you’ll rewrite this week.
