Empowered Mindset: Overcoming Negativity Together with Dr. Duguid

 In this empowering episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, hosts Simone and Olivia Knego continue their heartfelt conversation with Dr. Stephanie Duguid. Together, they explore how confidence is affected by the people we surround ourselves with, the thoughts we allow in our minds, and even the clutter in our homes.

From recognizing toxic friendships to reframing negative self-talk, Dr. Stephanie shares actionable advice and mindset tools to help you create a more confident, joy-filled life. The trio also touches on parenting, organization hacks, and how real life—barking dogs and messy desks included—can be the backdrop for building unshakable confidence.

This episode is a relatable and uplifting reminder that growth starts with letting go—of toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, and even that pair of jeans you swore you’d wear again someday.

Actionable Takeaways

✅ Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with someone—your energy is a powerful indicator of a healthy or toxic relationship.

✅ Friendships should evolve and serve both people; it’s okay to move on when they no longer align with who you are.

✅ Reframe negative thoughts by shifting your self-talk. Instead of “I hate my job,” try “My job supports me while I explore what’s next.”

✅ Use Simone’s “Control-Alt-Delete” mindset method to evaluate your thoughts, change your outlook, and delete what doesn’t serve you.

✅ Try small organization hacks like the backward hanger trick or designated mail zones to reduce clutter and stress.
