What if the voice telling you to play small… isn’t telling the truth?
In this episode, Penny sits down with keynote speaker, author, and confidence coach Simone Knego to talk about the stories women tell themselves—and how those stories shape everything from leadership to self-worth.
Simone shares her REAL Confidence Method and a simple mindset reset that helps interrupt the spiral of self-doubt when it shows up (because it always does).
From redefining leadership around the kitchen table to dropping the word “just,” this conversation is full of honest reflections, laughter, and practical mindset tools women can use right away.
Because confidence isn’t something you’re born with.
It’s something you build.
In this episode:
• Why women often underestimate their leadership
• Simone’s REAL Confidence framework
• Why failure is data—not identity
• The moment her daughter gave her a powerful wake-up call
• How climbing Kilimanjaro changed how she saw herself
Key Topics:
• Confidence and mindset
• Kitchen table leadership
• Women and self-worth
• Rewriting your internal dialogue
• Self-respect and boundaries
• Why self-care isn’t selfish
