In this inspiring episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, hosts Simone and Olivia Knego sit down with Kayla Fite—mindset mentor, podcast host, and creator behind Habits You Love. Kayla shares her transformative journey of healing, self-discovery, and embracing authenticity after years of chasing external validation.
Through candid conversation, Kayla opens up about shedding perfectionism, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, and learning to trust her own unique path. Her story is a powerful reminder that true confidence grows when we stop seeking approval and start living aligned with our purpose.
If you’ve ever struggled with change, feared judgment, or wondered when it’s finally “okay” to put yourself first—this episode is your permission slip.
🚀 Actionable Takeaways
- Authenticity over approval. Living authentically means releasing the need to fit molds created by others—and trusting your own voice.
- Healing is a rebirth. Personal growth often feels like starting over. Give yourself grace to grow, even if it feels like you’re beginning again.
- Don’t fear the pivot. It’s okay to change directions, evolve your brand, or pursue new passions—your journey is uniquely yours.
- Focus inward, not outward. Most people are absorbed in their own lives. Fear of judgment often says more about our own insecurities than reality.
- Grace in growth. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you should have it all figured out. Growth isn’t linear—and it’s never too late to heal.
- Creativity thrives in authenticity. When you’re true to yourself, your creativity and confidence naturally expand.

👩💼 About Kayla Fite
I like to share my story of discovering my authenticity because it isn’t an automatic life skill you are born with. It has to be developed and practiced. As a kid and teenager, I wasn’t encouraged to try things I liked or was interested in, I was told what I was going to do, how I was going to be, and made to fit into a box that I never felt was for me. I suppressed myself for a long time and developed a lot of shame along the way. It wasn’t until I was 30 that I had to reparent myself, shed a lot of negative programming and I have to practice daily how to show up authentically and vulnerable.
This generation has a massive problem with vulnerability, individuality, and authenticity because of how easy and accessible it is to just copy and mimic what other people are doing, wearing, being, saying through social media. I want to encourage women to first find themselves and then show up from that place rather than trying to be someone they aren’t. That is where true, intrinsic confidence comes from as opposed to fake confidence that isn’t sustainable. I can also share my three A’s as the process you can use to discover it!
