Episode 208
Welcome back to Becoming: HER, the podcast where we peel back the layers of what it really means to live, lead, and love as the most confident version of ourselves. I’m your host, Nikki Spoelstra—and today’s guest embodies that journey in the most powerful way.
Simone Knego is the award-winning author of The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You and co-host of Her Unshakeable Confidence, the hit intergenerational podcast she hosts with her daughter. She’s climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, raised six children in a beautifully blended, multicultural family, and built a global platform around one truth—that confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up real, raw, and unapologetically you.
In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to lead from the inside out, stop waiting for permission, and find your voice—even when the world tells you to shrink. Let’s dive in with the extraordinary, unordinary Simone Knego.
