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.


✅ Actionable Takeaways

• Treat failure as a learning process and ask, "What did I learn?"
• Say yes to the things that scare you, because you won't grow if you don't try.
• Remember that "no" is a full sentence.
• Give yourself a set time to feel your emotions, then choose to move forward.
• Let go of "what will other people think?" They're busy with their own lives.
• Share what you're struggling with. Saying it out loud can open doors and help others.
• Surround yourself with people who accept you exactly as you are.
