    2025/10/28
    In this powerful episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia sit down with Karen Mayer Cunningham — special education advocate, trainer, speaker, and founder of the Epic IEP Academy. Karen shares her mission to equip parents, educators, and advocates with the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate the special education system and fight for every child’s rights.Drawing from her own journey as the mother of a child with disabilities, Karen talks about how the lack of information, training, and accountability in schools inspired her to take action and teach others to do the same. She opens up about building the Epic IEP Academy, training teams nationwide, and writing her upcoming book The Epic IEP: A Powerful Playbook for Parents, Educators, and Advocates.Simone and Olivia dive into real-world challenges — from walking into intimidating IEP meetings to advocating for accommodations in college and beyond. Karen explains why preparation is key, how federal law empowers parents, and why collaboration (not conflict) should be the focus at the table.Through humor, honesty, and bold insight, Karen reminds listeners that confidence isn’t about perfection — it’s about conviction, persistence, and refusing to walk away when children need you most. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, aspiring advocates, and anyone passionate about creating change in special education.✅ Actionable TakeawaysBe Prepared Before the Meeting: Request the full draft of the IEP in advance so you can make informed decisions and avoid being rushed or sidelined.Weekly Learning Matters: Ongoing training — not one-time meetings — is essential for parents, educators, and advocates to stay effective and confident.Stay at the Table When It’s Uncomfortable: Advocacy isn’t about being liked — it’s about getting results for the child, even if that means pushing back or slowing down the process.Explain Accommodations to the Child: Kids need to understand the purpose of their support to feel empowered instead of embarrassed.Use Federal Law as a Tool, Not a Threat: IDEA and Section 504 establish parents as key decision-makers — confidence comes from knowing your rights.Collaboration Over Compliance: An IEP should be about serving the child, not just checking boxes or rushing through paperwork.⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Introduction01:25 — Karen’s background and advocating for her daughter07:10 — The Epic IEP Academy and weekly training model13:42 — Serving parents, educators, and advocates nationwide18:55 — Social media, reach, and educating the masses20:48 — The upcoming book The Epic IEP24:35 — Accommodations in college and federal protections27:06 — Assistive technology and changing expectations30:22 — Addressing embarrassment around accommodations32:17 — Preparing parents before IEP meetings36:45 — Why schools often lack training39:38 — Confidence, coaching, and hope in special education44:09 — Advice from the women in her life46:28 — Humor, resilience, and staying unshakable46:59 — Where to find Karen✨ About Karen Mayer CunninghamKaren Mayer Cunningham, widely known as the Special Education Boss®, is a nationally recognized trainer, speaker, and advocate who equips parents and professionals to navigate and negotiate successful student outcomes at the IEP and 504 table.

  • Navigating Remission and Reality: Confidence Through Chronic Illness

    Navigating Remission and Reality: Confidence Through Chronic Illness
    2025/10/21
    In this deeply honest and powerful episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia Knego open up about Olivia’s recent health setback after three years in remission from Crohn’s disease. From traveling to New York for her colonoscopy, to the emotional impact of hearing she’s no longer in remission, they unpack the realities of living with a lifelong autoimmune illness.Olivia shares the physical, mental, and emotional challenges that come with flare-ups, the stress of managing law school alongside chronic illness, and the importance of listening to your body—before it forces you to. Through humor, vulnerability, and raw truth (including the not-so-glamorous parts of hospital visits), she reminds listeners that strength isn’t avoiding the hard moments—it’s facing them head-on.Simone and Olivia also dive into self-advocacy, communicating with professors and deans, grief over lost progress, reshaping expectations, and the power of letting yourself feel before creating an action plan. Their conversation is a reminder that setbacks don’t erase strength—and confidence often comes from speaking up, asking for help, and refusing to hide your reality.This episode is for anyone navigating illness, burnout, pressure, or unexpected life detours—and needs to hear: you’ve got this.✅ Actionable TakeawaysGive yourself space to grieve before jumping into problem-solving.Self-advocacy is not weakness—it’s confidence in action.Communicate your needs with the people who can support you.Adjusting commitments is not failure—it’s self-preservation.Taking care of your mental health is as important as physical care.Saying your struggles out loud helps you move forward with strength.📖 Chapters00:00 – Traveling to New York for the Procedure02:15 – The Realities of Colonoscopies and Hospital Prep05:30 – Hearing the News: No Longer in Remission08:12 – Grieving the Setback and Honoring the Emotions11:25 – School, Stress, and Ignoring the Body’s Signals14:48 – Making Changes: Course Load and Priorities18:10 – Self-Advocacy and Communicating with Faculty21:03 – Owning Your Health Without Shame24:20 – The Fear, the Humor, and the Reality of Crohn’s28:00 – Saying It Out Loud: Why Speaking Up Builds Confidence31:15 – Moving Forward with Strength and Support33:25 – Final Message: You’ve Got This👉 💬 Connect with UsDon’t forget to subscribe to Her Unshakeable Confidence for more empowering stories and actionable insights.

  • From Yo-Yo Dieting to Lasting Change: Jiordana Saade’s Story

    From Yo-Yo Dieting to Lasting Change: Jiordana Saade’s Story
    2025/10/14
    In this episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia talk with Jiordana Saade — founder of The Mind-Full Clinic, a certified nutritionist, hypnotherapist, and behavioral coach — about how to heal your relationship with food and your body. Jiordana shares her personal journey from childhood bullying and yo-yo dieting through substance use, motherhood, and a career pivot into nutrition and behavioral neuroscience.She explains why diets fail, how the primitive brain drives self-sabotaging eating patterns, the role of trauma and the “mother wound,” and why addressing the nervous system is essential for lasting change. Jiordana also demystifies hypnotherapy, discusses pros/cons of GLP-1 medications, and introduces The Mind-Full Method — her 12-week program (now scaled into an app) designed to help people reclaim freedom from emotional eating.This conversation blends practical habits, science, and compassion — a must-listen if you want to stop dieting and start living.✅ Actionable TakeawaysLook for root causes, not quick fixes. Investigate nervous-system stress, early trauma, or “mother wound” patterns rather than relying solely on diets or pills.Stop using food as reward/punishment. If a reward contradicts your goal (e.g., gym → donut), it will undermine long-term change.Try hypnotherapy/meditative practices if you’re open to them — they can make the subconscious more malleable for habit change.Set one simple boundary: avoid snacking after dinner as a practical, repeatable habit to stabilize blood sugar and break night-eating cycles.Model healthy eating for kids. Children learn self-care by watching you — prioritize showing healthy habits over policing plates.Use mindful portioning: take a small portion of a craved food, say “thank you,” and put it away — train the brain to stop automatic overconsumption.If considering GLP-1s, consult a clinician. They can help in metabolic disease but aren’t a root-cause solution for emotional eating.⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Introduction01:27 — Childhood bullying, early dieting, and the start of the story05:17 — Why food is different: primitive brain, self-sabotage, and survival wiring12:49 — Labels, identity, and the dieting industry critique17:50 — The “first diet” and the mother wound pattern18:29 — Hypnotherapy explained: when it helps and how it works23:54 — Weight loss approach: focus on inner healing, not metrics29:54 — Emotional triggers: the four functions of behavior (escape, sensory, attention, tangible)33:35 — Food as reward/punishment and why that backfires38:58 — The Mindful Method: 12-week program, scaling, and app launch45:16 — Confidence as reputation with yourself — small promises, big trust✨ About Jiordana SaadeJiordana Saade is the founder of The Mind-Full Clinic and creator of The Mind-Full Method. A certified nutritionist, hypnotherapist, and behavioral coach, she combines clinical nutrition, behavioral psychology, neuroscience, and functional approaches to help people heal their relationship with food. Drawing from her personal history of yo-yo dieting, eating disorders, and addiction, Jiordana returned to study behavioral psychology and neuroscience to better address why diets fail and how the nervous system drives eating behavior.She built The Mind-Full Method as a scalable program (12 modules + group calls) and has recently expanded it into an app to make the work more accessible.

    In this insightful episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia talk with Tami Jorden — certified death doula, co-founder of the Legacy 22 Women’s Circle, and creator of the Chrysalis Advantage. Tami reframes midlife not as decline but as a powerful season of becoming, where earned wisdom, courage, and community open the door to fresh purpose.She walks us through the core pillars of the Chrysalis Advantage (confidence, courage, spiritual connection, service, community, legacy), shares how working as a death doula shapes her perspective on regret and action, and offers practical ways women can prepare for and thrive in this next chapter.If you’ve ever feared aging, felt “over” at fifty, or carried a secret you never named — this episode will invite you to step forward, tell your story, edit what no longer serves you, and use your life experience as fuel for connection and service.✅ Actionable TakeawaysTrust the Internal Signal — Move your sense of worth from external approval to internal self-trust.Do It Messy — Action creates momentum: “step into the chasm” and the next step appears.Turn Hard Things into Jewels — Ask “What’s the lesson?” and carry learning forward as usable wisdom.Build Your Community — Invest in reciprocal relationships; friendships matter as much as physical health.Honor Mortality to Unlock Courage — Memento mori can help you act now so you don’t leave with regrets.Edit Deliberately — Let go of people, tasks, and thoughts that no longer serve. ⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Introduction00:28 — Meet Tami Jorden & the Chrysalis Advantage (intro)05:56 — The six pillars: self-confidence, courage, spiritual connection, service, community, legacy10:36 — Parenting transitions, off-ramps, and re-discovering purpose16:31 — Cultural attitudes about aging and the value of elders21:14 — Intergenerational learning, hobbies, and reclaiming “grandma knowledge”26:03 — Beauty standards, body image, and what we teach the next generations33:46 — Tami’s death-doula perspective: memento mori and how it fuels courage36:32 — Regret, suffering needlessly, and how to avoid both39:14 — Personal healing: naming trauma, telling your story, and reclaiming power45:43 — Tami’s word for 2025: Edit — pruning people, tasks, thoughts✨ About Tami JordenTami Jorden is a certified death doula, coach, and women’s-work facilitator focused on reframing midlife as a season of transformation. She is the creator of the Chrysalis Advantage — a roadmap for women to move through midlife with clarity, courage, and purpose — and a co-founder of the Legacy 22 Women’s Circle. Tami brings a unique perspective informed by her death-doula practice: facing mortality (memento mori) often unlocks the courage to take the steps that matter now, reducing regret and increasing meaning.Her work centers on six pillars: building internal self-confidence, practicing courageous truth-telling, cultivating spiritual connection (as each woman defines it), contributing through external service, investing in community, and actively shaping one’s legacy. Tami also emphasizes practical service and volunteering as powerful ways to stay connected and purposeful in midlife.Tami writes and publishes the Substack Butterfly Days, and she’s launching a podcast also called Butterfly Days that explores menopause and midlife as a chrysalis for growth.

  • The Weird Things People Do in Shared Spaces and Don’t Even Notice

    The Weird Things People Do in Shared Spaces and Don’t Even Notice
    2025/10/01
    In this lighthearted and relatable episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia dive into the funny, cringe-worthy, and downright confusing things people do—from airplane etiquette and body odor to farting, food smells, and public quirks. They laugh through real-life examples involving partners, strangers on planes, and unforgettable club moments (silent but deadly included).The conversation explores the unspoken rules of being around others—like not bringing smelly food on flights, watching your scents in tight spaces, and knowing when to acknowledge a fart versus pretending it wasn’t you. They also get into personal habits, from not wearing socks in shoes to refusing to repark a crooked car, leaving cabinets open, and stealing hotel slippers for long flights.Beneath the humor, there's a deeper message: everyone has quirks, we’re all influenced by the people around us, and the things that make us “weird” are often the mosaic pieces that shape who we are. Olivia reflects on how our behaviors come from years of influence, and Simone reminds us that confidence doesn’t mean being perfect—it means being comfortable with who you are (as long as your feet stay in your shoes on a plane).The episode wraps with a mindset reset about being kind to yourself, the idea of a “no being mean to yourself zone,” and a reminder that believing in your worth is an everyday practice—plus a quick mention of Simone’s upcoming book and bonuses.✅ Actionable TakeawaysBe considerate in shared spaces (planes, elevators, lines).Use humor to defuse awkward moments.Notice which influences shaped your habits.Embrace your quirks—without making others uncomfortable.Practice self-kindness: no negative self-talk zones!Confidence = authenticity + awareness.📖 Chapters00:00 – Cold Open: “Why do people do that?” (bathroom etiquette)02:30 – Elevator Etiquette: buttons, exits, and small talk05:30 – Airplane Habits 1: standing, clapping, crosswalk “button-mashing”08:30 – Seats & Space: armrests, manspreading, sandals/feet10:45 – Sunglasses & Airports: boarding zones and baggage-claim crowding14:30 – Before Phones: smoking sections & bassinets then vs. now19:45 – Hard Truths Kindly: deodorant, hygiene, and shaving norms22:45 – Should You Say Something?
