In this heartfelt episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, hosts Simone and Olivia Knego sit down with psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Peggy DeLong to explore how gratitude can dramatically impact our mental health, relationships, and self-confidence.

Dr. Peggy shares her personal story of loss, resilience, and her powerful pivot from forensic psychology to becoming “The Gratitude Psychologist.” She reveals how simple daily gratitude practices—like writing letters or savoring small joys—can boost happiness, build emotional resilience, and even ease grief. Plus, she unpacks the surprising science behind gratitude, including research-backed ways it lifts mood and diminishes negativity.

Whether you're navigating life transitions, looking to strengthen your confidence, or simply seeking more joy, this episode offers practical tools and inspiration to help you tune into what really matters—starting with gratitude.

 In this honest and relatable episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia Knego dive deep into what it feels like when life is simply too much. From juggling work, surgery, and international travel to questioning routines and reacting emotionally, this mother-daughter conversation unpacks the pressure we put on ourselves to do it all—and do it perfectly.

They explore how burnout creeps in, why it's okay to feel overwhelmed, and how self-awareness, support, and honest conversations can shift everything. With vulnerability, humor, and plenty of self-reflection, Simone and Olivia remind us that confidence doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from being real, staying grounded, and giving ourselves the grace to grow through the chaos.

Whether you're managing a packed schedule, navigating emotional overload, or trying to remember your own needs in the midst of it all, this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and empowered.


✅ Actionable Takeaways
  • A packed schedule doesn’t define your worth. Check in with yourself—routines are helpful, but flexibility builds resilience.

  • Overwhelm isn't a weakness. It’s a sign to pause, breathe, and realign with your priorities.

  • Let go of perfection. You don’t have to be everything for everyone all the time.

  • Recognize when you're absorbing other people’s stress—and create boundaries around your emotional bandwidth.

  • Find one thing in your day that doesn’t feel like a chore. That’s your anchor.

  • You’re allowed to say no, to change plans, or to slow down—especially when everything feels like “too much.”

  • Embarrassment is a human emotion—not a flaw. Learn from it, then let it go.

 In this empowering episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, hosts Simone and Olivia Knego continue their heartfelt conversation with Dr. Stephanie Duguid. Together, they explore how confidence is affected by the people we surround ourselves with, the thoughts we allow in our minds, and even the clutter in our homes.

From recognizing toxic friendships to reframing negative self-talk, Dr. Stephanie shares actionable advice and mindset tools to help you create a more confident, joy-filled life. The trio also touches on parenting, organization hacks, and how real life—barking dogs and messy desks included—can be the backdrop for building unshakable confidence.

This episode is a relatable and uplifting reminder that growth starts with letting go—of toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, and even that pair of jeans you swore you’d wear again someday.

Actionable Takeaways

✅ Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with someone—your energy is a powerful indicator of a healthy or toxic relationship.

✅ Friendships should evolve and serve both people; it’s okay to move on when they no longer align with who you are.

✅ Reframe negative thoughts by shifting your self-talk. Instead of “I hate my job,” try “My job supports me while I explore what’s next.”

✅ Use Simone’s “Control-Alt-Delete” mindset method to evaluate your thoughts, change your outlook, and delete what doesn’t serve you.

✅ Try small organization hacks like the backward hanger trick or designated mail zones to reduce clutter and stress.

📖

In this heartfelt (and hilarious) mother-daughter chat, Simone and Olivia Knego dive into the beautiful chaos of modern weddings—from guest lists and open bars to prenups and wardrobe do’s and don’ts. As Simone prepares to watch her son get married, they share candid reflections on what it means to parent through big transitions and let go with confidence.

With honesty and humor, they explore how weddings have changed, why personal choice matters more than tradition, and how to support your kids without taking over. Whether you're a bride, a mom, or just love a good wedding debate, this episode is packed with real talk and unshakable laughs.

Actionable Takeaways
  • If you have to think twice about your wedding guest outfit, don’t wear it—especially if it's white.

  • Don’t underestimate the stress (and cost) of big weddings—intimacy often wins.

  • Open bars are great, but plan responsibly (hello, Uber!).

  • A wedding is a celebration—not a family reunion or performance.

  • Cash funds and prenups aren’t taboo; they’re modern, smart choices.

  • Let your kids own their wedding. Your job is to show up with love and support.

  • Stop underestimating yourself. You are more capable than you think.

 In this powerful episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, co-hosts Simone and Olivia Knego sit down with Dr. Nic and Dr. Nat ND to dive deep into the world of hormones, menopause, and women’s health. Together, they explore the key symptoms of menopause, from hair loss and hot flashes to weight changes, and explain why education and awareness are critical for every woman navigating this life stage.

The conversation shines a light on how celebrities are helping break the stigma around menopause and highlights the importance of strength training, proper nutrition, and movement for long-term wellness. Dr. Nic and Dr. Nat break down myths around hormone replacement therapy (HRT), encouraging women to make informed, empowered health decisions.

Simone, Olivia, and their expert guests also tackle the societal pressures of body image, shifting the focus from weight to overall wellness and self-acceptance. Listeners will leave this episode feeling supported, informed, and ready to embrace the new beginnings that come with menopause — backed by a strong, thriving community.

Actionable Takeaways
  • Listen to the symptoms. Your body is always speaking—don't ignore signs of stress, fatigue, or misalignment.

  • Functional medicine is personal. True healing comes when you treat the whole person, not just the condition.

  • Confidence starts with clarity. When you understand your body and your needs, you reclaim your power.

  • Boundaries are healing. Saying “no” is sometimes the most important step toward saying “yes” to yourself.

  • Health is stewardship. Taking care of your body is honoring the gift God gave you.

  • Faith and healing go hand-in-hand. Your spiritual, emotional, and physical health are deeply connected.

  • Empowered women transform families. When women heal, they uplift entire households and communities.

In this heartfelt 100th episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia Knego open up about the real challenges—and beautiful mess—of parenting and growing up. Through candid stories about flat tires, missed webinars, and garage door mishaps, they explore the power of parenting without judgment, the importance of emotional support, and how communication can transform relationships.

With honesty, warmth, and a few laughs, this mother-daughter duo reflects on how children internalize more than we realize, why listening often matters more than advice, and the life lessons that get passed down in unexpected ways. Whether you're a parent trying your best, a daughter still figuring it all out, or somewhere in between, this episode offers powerful reminders about grace, growth, and connection.

Actionable Takeaways
  • Don’t parent with judgment—your words stay with your kids longer than you think.

  • Reactions matter. Your energy sets the emotional tone for your kids.

  • Mistakes are opportunities to model empathy and problem-solving, not shame.

  • Ask your kids if they need support or just someone to listen. Listening builds trust.

  • Life skills matter. Teach your kids the basics—check depositing, tire repair, stain removal.

  • Support doesn’t end at 18. Keep the door open for adult children to come back for guidance.

  • Treat yourself with the same grace you’d give a friend—or your child.

💡 Episode Summary

In this lively episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, hosts Simone and Olivia Knego sit down with April Diaz—leadership coach, speaker, and founder of Ezer + Co. Together, they dive into how embracing your quirks, weirdness, and true self is the secret sauce to building lasting confidence.
April shares her powerful journey of raising a not-so-typical family, leaning into the unexpected, and learning to celebrate the things that once made her feel different. From funny family stories to party tricks like whistling without moving her mouth, April reminds us that “normal” is overrated—and our uniqueness is where the magic happens.

The conversation also touches on life-saving advice about balance, the importance of rhythms of rest, and how building holistic confidence starts with knowing yourself deeply.
This episode is an encouragement to every woman who’s ever felt “too different” to know: your quirks are your strength.

🚀 Actionable Takeaways
  • Weirdness is a strength. The quirks that once made you feel different can become your greatest confidence boosters.

  • Stop worrying about who likes you. When you show up as your full, authentic self, the right people will be drawn to you.

  • Rest is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. You need strong rhythms of recovery to sustain long-term confidence and success.

  • Define your reality. You can’t grow or solve problems until you first see and name them clearly.

  • Confidence grows through small promises kept. Following through builds self-trust—and self-trust is the foundation of unshakable confidence.

  • Know where you are to know where to go next. Self-assessment is key to strategic, confident growth.

In this inspiring episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, hosts Simone and Olivia Knego sit down with Kayla Fite—mindset mentor, podcast host, and creator behind Habits You Love. Kayla shares her transformative journey of healing, self-discovery, and embracing authenticity after years of chasing external validation.

Through candid conversation, Kayla opens up about shedding perfectionism, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, and learning to trust her own unique path. Her story is a powerful reminder that true confidence grows when we stop seeking approval and start living aligned with our purpose.

If you've ever struggled with change, feared judgment, or wondered when it’s finally “okay” to put yourself first—this episode is your permission slip.

🚀 Actionable Takeaways
  • Authenticity over approval. Living authentically means releasing the need to fit molds created by others—and trusting your own voice.

  • Healing is a rebirth. Personal growth often feels like starting over. Give yourself grace to grow, even if it feels like you’re beginning again.

  • Don't fear the pivot. It’s okay to change directions, evolve your brand, or pursue new passions—your journey is uniquely yours.

  • Focus inward, not outward. Most people are absorbed in their own lives. Fear of judgment often says more about our own insecurities than reality.

  • Grace in growth. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you should have it all figured out. Growth isn’t linear—and it’s never too late to heal.
  • Creativity thrives in authenticity. When you’re true to yourself, your creativity and confidence naturally expand.

👩‍💼 About Kayla Fite

I like to share my story of discovering my authenticity because it isn't an automatic life skill you are born with. It has to be developed and practiced. As a kid and teenager, I wasn't encouraged to try things I liked or was interested in, I was told what I was going to do, how I was going to be, and made to fit into a box that I never felt was for me. I suppressed myself for a long time and developed a lot of shame along the way. It wasn't until I was 30 that I had to reparent myself, shed a lot of negative programming and I have to practice daily how to show up authentically and vulnerable.

This generation has a massive problem with vulnerability, individuality, and authenticity because of how easy and accessible it is to just copy and mimic what other people are doing, wearing, being, saying through social media. I want to encourage women to first find themselves and then show up from that place rather than trying to be someone they aren't. That is where true, intrinsic confidence comes from as opposed to fake confidence that isn't sustainable. I can also share my three A's as the process you can use to discover it!
