Episode 363 - Building REAL Confidence with Simone Knego

We can try career after career and still feel like something is missing. Accomplishing things and checking boxes does not always fill the void, and sometimes the connection between what happened years ago and why we struggle now isn’t always very obvious.

The voice that whispers we are not good enough shows up for many of us, and it can feel like some people were just born with confidence we will never have. What if confidence is not something we either have or do not have, but something we can actually build from the inside out?

SIMONE KNEGO

Simone Knego is an international speaker, award-winning author, and empowerment coach who helps women overcome self-doubt and lead purpose-driven lives. As the bestselling author of The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You and cohost of the globally ranked podcast Her Unshakeable Confidence, she shares stories and strategies that inspire growth, resilience, and authenticity.

Through her signature REAL Method™, Simone offers a practical framework for building lasting confidence from the inside out. Featured on ABC, NBC, and CBS, and in publications including Entrepreneur and Yahoo News, she also champions her “Kitchen Table Leadership” philosophy, reminding audiences that real leadership is modeled through everyday choices.

At home, she’s the heart of a lively household with her husband of 32 years, six children, and three dogs. Her upcoming book, REAL Confidence: A Simple Guide to Go From Unsure to Unshakeable, debuts in February and provides women with the tools to cultivate authentic confidence in every area of life.

Episode 362 - Reversing Aging with Richard Gordon

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Bones moving into alignment in seconds without force or manipulation. Bunions straightening out in minutes. These things sound impossible until we see them happen, and then we have to reconsider what we thought we knew about healing.

We might believe we need experts to fix us, but what if our bodies already know exactly what to do? The challenge might not be in learning how to heal, but in learning how to stop getting in the way of our bodies' innate ability to do just that.

RICHARD GORDON

Richard Gordon is the author and founder of Quantum-Touch. With over 45 years in the field of holistic health, he is considered a pioneer and visionary in the field of energy healing.

His five best-selling books are in 17 languages, with certified practitioners of his methods in over 10 countries and over 150 certified instructors world-wide. Richard has spoken and taught at medical centers, chiropractic colleges, conferences, and universities.

Dr. C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD, (founding President of the American Holistic Medical Association) endorsed Quantum-Touch after testing it on his most difficult chronic pain patients. He called it, “The first technique that may truly allow us all to become healers.”

In recent years, Gordon has developed, Self-Created Health, a potent system for people to rapidly discover and heal the emotional causes of health problems. And quite unexpectedly, he discovered an empirical and robust method to scientifically explore the intersection of matter and consciousness. The implications of this have the potential to shift many of the world’s most fundamental and limiting beliefs.

Episode 361 - Regulating the Nervous System with Kiara Armstrong

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Trying to find relief for years while nothing seems to help can break us down. When the treatments keep failing, we start to wonder if there is something fundamental being missed about what is actually wrong.

Something most of us are not getting enough of in our daily lives might be exactly what our nervous systems need to feel safe and regulated. When we find ways to bring it into our lives, our bodies can finally begin to balance and heal.

KIARA ARMSTRONG

Kiara Armstrong has been practicing yoga for nearly 25 years and teaching for 15. Over the past decade, she has trained yoga teachers around the world and taught anatomy in both yoga and massage school settings.

With a clinical background as a California-certified massage therapist and lived experience healing from CPTSD, Kiara brings a rare depth of perspective to the body. Her trauma-informed teaching blends formal study with personal insight and is rooted in principles that guide all her work: anatomy-based, consent-centered, and biomechanically precise.

Early in her teaching, Kiara became captivated by the power of hands-on assists. But repeated exposure to imprecise or unsafe touch—including in her own body—led her to question conventional methods. During her time at Yoga Journal, she witnessed a broad range of assist techniques and recognized the urgent need for a clear, teachable, and anatomically sound system.

Over time, through thousands of hours of teaching, experimenting, and refining, she developed the Rubber Band Method®—a structured approach that distinguishes between assisting and adjusting, prioritizes teacher sustainability, and helps instructors read student tissues through tactile awareness.

Episode 360 - Working with Impossible Conditions with Matt Johnson

Being told there is nothing more that can be done can feel like a door closing. Many of us stop there, accept it as the final word, and settle into whatever limitation we have been handed.

We can be making real progress and still have symptoms that will not resolve. The root cause might be operating in the subconscious mind outside our awareness, and finding it might be the missing piece in our healing journey.

MATT JOHNSON

Matt Johnson is a hypnotist and NLP coach who turned his recovery journey into powerful methods to help others break free from subconscious blocks.

After a devastating brain injury left him living in darkness, Matt discovered that hidden PTSD was sabotaging his healing. By rewiring his subconscious with hypnotherapy and NLP, he not only recovered his health, he developed a method for helping others release deeply rooted emotional baggage and transform their lives.

Episode 359 - The Power of Choice with Martyn Williams

The next thing we are chasing might not be what we actually need. So much energy goes into getting somewhere better than where we are, and the moments we are running from might hold exactly what we have been searching for all along.

Episode 358 - Regulate Your Emotions with Dr. Mitch Abrams

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

We have been told our entire lives that anger is the emotion we need to eliminate, that feeling it at all means something is wrong with us, and that good people do not get angry. The shame we carry about this emotion is more profound than almost any other emotion, and that shame is exactly what keeps us trapped in cycles we cannot seem to break.

What if the problem is not that we feel anger but that no one ever taught us how to use it, how to recognize the difference between the intensity that makes us stronger and the point where we lose all ability to think clearly? There is only one letter separating anger from danger, and learning what that letter stands for is the difference between using anger to fuel what we do and letting it consume us.

DR. MITCH ABRAMS

Dr. Mitch Abrams has a private practice providing sport, clinical, and forensic psychology services, and is also an expert in the treatment of trauma. Since 2000, he has worked inside the prison system in New Jersey and now oversees psychological services for seven of the state’s prisons as Chief Psychologist for Rutgers-University Correctional Health Care. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Rutgers Health-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Dr. Abrams is the Founder and CEO of Learned Excellence for Athletes, utilizing anger management training to assist athletes, coaches, and professionals reach peak performance. His new book is: I’m Not Fucking Angry!!! Adjust the Flames to Get What You Want and Need.

Episode 357 - Hormone Health with Dr. Nayan Patel

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

Why does talking about certain parts of our health still feel like something we need to whisper about in private, while we discuss heart disease and diabetes freely at dinner tables? We have been conditioned to believe that managing symptoms for the rest of our lives is the same thing as solving a problem, and somewhere along the way we stopped questioning whether there might be another option.

The body has its own intelligence about how to regulate what it needs, but we reach for external solutions before we ever ask what threw our bodies off balance in the first place. Sometimes the answer is not what we are missing but what we have been interfering with, and understanding that difference changes everything about how we approach our own healing.

DR. NAYAN PATEL

Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought-after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom-develop medication for their clients and design a patient-specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs, and physicians themselves.

He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology to deliver Glutathione topically, changing the game on how best to absorb GSH systemically. From this technology, he additionally developed The Auro GSH Antioxidant Delivery System to create a skincare line to deliver antioxidants more efficiently and effectively than ever before at potent concentrations.

Episode 356 - Growing up with Schizoid Personality Disorder with Blair Sorrel

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

What does it feel like to know something is profoundly wrong but have no language for the pain, to spend decades being told to just try harder when the very act of trying pushes you further into isolation? Some of us carry defenses formed so early in childhood that we mistake them for who we are, and those protective patterns become the walls that keep out everything we think we want.

The belief that the right job or relationship will finally fix us falls apart when the condition itself blocks our ability to get close enough to anyone or anything that might help. Some wounds stay invisible until they are why we cannot keep a job, cannot leave home, or cannot care for our own needs, and recognition is what turns decades of confusion into something we can finally work with.

BLAIR SORREL

Blair Sorrel is an author, innovator, and animal lover. She was Free Time’s “Dollarwise Dilettante” columnist, Together Dating Service’s matchmaker, and New York Blood Services’ apheresis recruiter. She founded StreetZaps to protect dogs and people from stray voltage, and was the first community representative invited by Con Edison to their annual Jodie S. Lane Stray Voltage Detection, Mitigation, and Prevention National Conference. Her memoir is A Schizoid at Smith: How Overparenting Leads to Underachieving.
