Episode 363 - Building REAL Confidence with Simone Knego
We can try career after career and still feel like something is missing. Accomplishing things and checking boxes does not always fill the void, and sometimes the connection between what happened years ago and why we struggle now isn’t always very obvious.
The voice that whispers we are not good enough shows up for many of us, and it can feel like some people were just born with confidence we will never have. What if confidence is not something we either have or do not have, but something we can actually build from the inside out?
SIMONE KNEGO
Simone Knego is an international speaker, award-winning author, and empowerment coach who helps women overcome self-doubt and lead purpose-driven lives. As the bestselling author of The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You and cohost of the globally ranked podcast Her Unshakeable Confidence, she shares stories and strategies that inspire growth, resilience, and authenticity.
Through her signature REAL Method™, Simone offers a practical framework for building lasting confidence from the inside out. Featured on ABC, NBC, and CBS, and in publications including Entrepreneur and Yahoo News, she also champions her “Kitchen Table Leadership” philosophy, reminding audiences that real leadership is modeled through everyday choices.
At home, she’s the heart of a lively household with her husband of 32 years, six children, and three dogs. Her upcoming book, REAL Confidence: A Simple Guide to Go From Unsure to Unshakeable, debuts in February and provides women with the tools to cultivate authentic confidence in every area of life.
