599: Build REAL Confidence with Simone Knego

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development &... ·

2026/10/06

How many times have you told yourself, I'll do it when I feel a little bit more confident? When I feel more ready, when I know what I'm doing, when I'm sure that I won't fail, when I stop caring so much about what everyone else thinks... It's not really how confidence works, is it? Confidence isn't something that you magically acquire and then start making bold moves. You make the moves, and then those moves become the evidence that you can trust yourself to keep going. Today's guest, Simone ...

Powerback 598: 3 Decisions That Will Always Support...

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development &... ·

2026/09/29

We make an average of 35,000 decisions every single day, so it's unrealistic to expect we're going to be fully conscious of every single one of them. But when it comes to your growth and success, we do need to bring some of those decisions a little more online. Most of them are happening subconsciously, and that's usually where old habits and beliefs live. Today, I'm breaking down three core decisions that are always going to support your growth: choosing to take care of yourself, choosing yo...

2026/09/22

When you think about building a successful business, what are you actually building toward? More money? A bigger team? More clients, more locations, more growth? But are you building something that actually supports the life you want to live? There's a real difference between building a business that creates freedom and building one that looks successful from the outside but becomes your own personal hell. Today's guest, CPA Nancy Benet, gets real about money, business, and what i...

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development &... ·

2026/09/15

“I really need this to work.” “I'm running out of time.” “I need more money to come in.” “Gosh, I'm so tired.” If any of that sounds like the voice in your head lately, friend, you're in the right place. Today I'm getting honest about the times I've made moves from a place of desperation, including a monthly retainer with a coach that would have absolutely bankrupted me and a rash hire that left me with more work than I started with. We're pumping the brakes, figuring out what's a...

2026/09/01

Work stress doesn't always stay at work. It follows you into dinner, into conversations with your partner, into time with your kids, and into the moments when you're technically off, but your brain is still running with 47 tabs open, thinking about all your unfinished tasks. Today's guest, Clarity Coach Samantha Hawley, is here to talk about how to stop letting work stress bleed into the rest of your life by getting underneath the expectations that are creating it in the first place.

2026/08/25

I've got a little challenge for you today. I want to hear your big, wild, audacious goal or idea that you can't stop thinking about. I'm talking about the idea you have a secret Pinterest board for, the one you find yourself smiling about when no one's around. You've put in the work, you've gained the knowledge, you've completed a chapter, and you have what you need to take this next step forward. Where the disarray and the frustration and the feeling like a bag of turds comes from is when we...

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development &... ·

2026/08/18

You can build a business, lead a team, handle pressure, and usually figure shit out. So why does dating or love feel so much harder? Today's guest, Laura Nagiel, is a dating and confidence coach and the creator of the DREAM Framework, the method she's used to help high-achieving women find the one. We're talking dating, perfectionism, control, receiving, and all the ways ambitious women unintentionally recreate the same exhausting patterns, not just in work, but in love too. But i...

2026/08/11

Every single person I work with comes to me because I said the thing they needed to hear. I called it for what it was and helped them find the solution to finally fix it. Today I'm handing you four unfiltered things I've said to my clients that ended up growing their business: slow the fuck down, get rid of an offer, ditch the framework, and talk like you, not your old boss. I'm not going to pretend any of this is comfortable to hear. It wasn't easy for me to learn how to say these thin...

There are seasons in life when everything looks fine, but doesn’t feel quite right. It's not that you're ungrateful or that anything's necessarily wrong, but something inside of you keeps saying there's more. Today's guest, Katie Pulsifer, is a master certified life coach and creator of the Golden Coaching Certification. With over 13 years of experience, Katie has trained thousands of coaches and guided high-achieving women out of overwhelm and people pleasing and into clarity, self-tru...

2026/07/30

If you want to take your business to the next level, you have got to give yourself space to do it. Your routine is set in stone, but maybe you have a new idea, trying to grow through the cracks like a little weed, saying, “hey, look at me!” I'm in this with you in real time. I've been wanting to write a book for a decade, and this year I finally had to get honest about where all of my creative energy was going, and make room to pour into the book instead. That's also why the Gutsy...

2026/07/28

Do you ever look around at the life you built and think, wait, is this it? Maybe the kids are growing up, your career doesn't fit anymore, your business is evolving, or your relationships are changing. Or maybe you just have this quiet feeling that the version of you who built this life is not the same woman who's meant to build the next chapter. Sometimes this gets labeled as a midlife crisis, but what if it's actually just an invitation to do things your own way? Today's guest, Wendy ...

PowerBack 588: How To Make Better Decisions, Faster

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development &... ·

2026/07/23

You've thought about it long enough, and it's time to make a decision. But right before you make your move, your brain kicks in and turns something simple into something that feels 10,000 times more complicated. The problem is you're going outside of yourself for permission, asking everyone and their sisters, brothers, neighbors, and dogs what they think, gathering up opinions like Pokémon cards, until you don't know which end is up anymore. Better decisions only come from an inte...

2026/07/21

Imagine selling a 7-figure company you built from the ground up, without knowing what was next. Could you do it? Could you even let yourself think about it? Today's guest, Ilene Kastel, did just that. After 14 years building a mental health counseling practice from nothing, she walked away because, as she puts it, "I just knew what I was doing wasn't it anymore." We get into what it actually looks like to leave corporate for reinvention — the self-reliance that replaces hierarchy,...

2026/07/16

There's a move you're ready to make, and you've been doing everything except taking the actual action to do it. You can feel it coming. You know what you want to do, but doesn't it feel better to go outside yourself first, to other people, and get their opinions before you commit? That's what we're talking about today: the three ways you're looking for permission instead of taking action. Permission feels comfortable because it spreads the responsibility around, but the only responsibil...

2026/07/14

I was a totally normal person yesterday, so why did I wake up today feeling like I can't do anything, and I want to burn it all down? We call that PMS, we call it hormonal, and usually we say it like it's an insult. Today's guest, Dr. Aumatma, is straddling two worlds right now. She's taking her work in fertility and expanding it into leadership, and after I dug into her work and watched her TEDx talk, I knew I had to get her on the show. She and I talk about hustle culture, and why working a...

2026/07/09

If you're cramming your calendar full of little things to avoid the deeper work you know you need to do, this one's for you. What I've seen over and over again with ambitious women is that busy isn't just a calendar problem but an identity problem. You've tied your worth to how much you're doing and how fast you're going for so long that slowing down feels dangerous. Like you're falling behind or even falling apart! But what if busy is actually the thing keeping you from the breakthrough you ...

At the end of 15 years, she felt like a husk of a person. She’d spent so long living for who she thought she was supposed to be that she'd lost track of who she actually was. That's the story today’s guest brings into this conversation, and it's one a lot of women are quietly living. Thomai Roi is known as the divorce doula for accomplished women. She helps women remember who they are and rebuild their lives before, during, and after divorce. What I love most about Thomai is that she isn't se...

We've all played this game with ourselves: When I hit this goal, then I'll start living like her. When the business reaches this milestone, then I'll let myself enjoy it. But the finish line keeps moving, doesn't it? You check one box and three more appear, and the good feeling you're waiting for gets buried in the routine of building. In this Powerback®, I'm calling you out on it because I've been there too. I used to hold off on the fun little coffee shops, the nice dinners, the...

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development &... ·

2026/06/23

What parts of yourself are you still hiding? Shame has a way of convincing us that if people really knew us, they'd judge us or use it against us. And so we stay quiet. We carry things that were never meant to be carried alone. Today's guest, Candi Rose, found freedom after years of toxic shame and self-destruction. We talk about what happens when you finally stop running, how shame grows in silence, and why healing often starts with radical honesty. It's uncomfortable, but it's powerful work...

PB 580: Realign What's Out of Whack

2026/06/18

I swear that life and business have a committee somewhere where they meet up and decide to do all the things at the exact same time. And when that happens, stuff gets out of whack. The routine that was supposed to work stops working, and instead of changing it, you're white-knuckling your way through it because you said you'd do it this way — and damn it, you're going to do it this way. In this Powerback®, I'm walking you through how to stop maintaining what's not working and start real...
