REAL Confidence with Simone Knego | From Self-Doubt to Unshakable Self-Trust

Confidence doesn’t show up on command. It grows where you plant it. In this unapologetically real conversation on The Femme Cast, I sit down with keynote speaker, author, and podcast host Simone Knego to unpack the REAL method for building confidence that sticks:

Respect yourself
Embrace your failures
Ask what you truly want
Live without limits

Simone’s journey, from CPA to mom of six, to climbing Kilimanjaro, to leading a life of impact, shows how small, brave choices reshape identity, deepen relationships, and make visibility feel natural, not performative. We dive into her Control-Alt-Delete mindset reset, a practical tool to stop negative thought loops, rewrite your inner script, and delete patterns that don’t serve you.

This episode cuts through the noise of fake confidence. Pretending feels loud, restless, and exhausting. Real confidence is quiet: showing up without shape-shifting, allowing pauses, and celebrating both your wins and others’. We tackle the traps of social media comparison, the power of dropping “I’m just…,” and how sharing your hard stories turns shame into service.

If you’re ready to stop shrinking, step into your power, and rewrite your inner dialogue, this conversation is your map. Simone also shares insights from her new book, Real Confidence: A Simple Guide to Go From Unsure to Unshakable, and her podcast Her Unshakable Confidence.
