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.
