Real Confidence, Live: Surviving Failure, Letting Go of Regret, and Finding Your People

What does it really take to keep going when life knocks you off track?

Recorded live in front of an audience, this episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence has Olivia putting Simone in the hot seat about REAL Confidence, from losing everything flipping houses to the grandmother whose resilience broke barriers in medicine.

Together they share the family rule of feeling your feelings and then moving forward, the Starbucks drive-thru moment when Mili told Simone to reread her own book, and Olivia's openness about living with Crohn's. It's a warm, funny, honest reminder that failing doesn't make you a failure, and the people who are your people will accept you exactly as you are.
