Feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate—or even by the state of the world?
In this honest and relatable episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia Knego unpack what stress really looks like in everyday life—from surgery and book launches to school burnout, procrastination, and emotional reactions at the pharmacy line.
They introduce Simone’s powerful “Control-Alt-Delete” mindset hack and explore how awareness, reframing, and intentional action can shift your entire day. From learning to structure your time, to choosing calm over chaos, to planning small things to look forward to, this episode is a reminder that confidence isn’t built in perfect conditions—it’s built in how you respond when life feels messy.
If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, impatient, or stuck in negative thought spirals, this conversation will help you reset, refocus, and take one small step forward.
✅ Actionable Takeaways
Become aware of the thoughts running your day—awareness is the first step to change.
Use the Control-Alt-Delete mindset: Control (awareness), Alt (choose a better story), Delete (remove habits and beliefs that don’t serve you).
Structure your time intentionally—lack of structure can create unnecessary stress.
Pause before reacting—choose calm and constructive communication over emotional outbursts.
Plan small things to look forward to—they shift your mood and build momentum.
Take one small action forward—confidence grows through consistent action, not perfection.
