She shares her powerful REAL Method—Respect Yourself, Embrace Your Failures, Ask Yourself What You Want, and Live Without Limits—and explains how women unknowingly block their own confidence by ignoring boundaries, fearing failure, and putting themselves last.This conversation goes deep into leadership beyond titles, motherhood as a training ground for resilience, the danger of comparison, and why changing how you see yourself is the fastest way to experience real, lasting confidence.If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I still feel stuck?” or “What’s wrong with me?”, this episode will shift everything.In this episode, you’ll learn:The real reason confidence feels out of reach for so many womenWhy confidence is a skill you practice, not a trait you’re born withSimone’s REAL Method and how to apply it in daily lifeHow lack of self-respect quietly erodes confidenceWhy failure is part of success, not a stop signHow to quiet negative self-talk and the “what if” voiceWhat “Kitchen Table Leadership” really meansHow motherhood shapes resilience and leadershipWhy self-care is not selfish and is essential for confidenceThe power of asking for help instead of doing everything aloneHow small daily actions create unshakable beliefKey Takeaway:You don’t need to become someone new.
