Close Protection BodyGuard: On Transforming Rejection into Success – Unlocking the Power of Resilience

They say success in male-dominated industries takes grit, and Jenny is living proof. In this raw, no-fluff episode of She Who Dares Wins, Jenny lays it all out—from the brutal world of close protection (yes, the one where only 865 women hold an SIA license) to a hands-on apprenticeship in bricklaying in an industry that practically worships testosterone.

Jenny’s journey is as unfiltered as it gets. She recounts her nerve-wracking transition from ex-police and security training hell—where every day felt like a high-stakes boot camp—to protecting high-profile clients like a Saudi princess (complete with lime green Hummers and high-speed police escorts). Then, just when you think she’s done defying expectations, she pivots to the gritty reality of bricklaying, proving that no job is too rough if you dare to break the mold.

Packed with unapologetic honesty, empowering insights, and dry humor that cuts through the BS (because who has time for fluff?), this episode is your blueprint for shattering stereotypes. If you’re ready to navigate challenging careers, embrace unconventional paths, and build your own empire—literally and figuratively—tune in and let Jenny’s journey inspire you to say yes, even when it means stepping outside the comfort zone.
