Have you ever spoken up in a group and felt like your words just disappeared into thin air? In this episode of Wild Enthusiasm for Living, I explore what’s really happening when it seems like no one can hear you, and how it might not be about being ignored at all, but about energy and vibration. I share a story from a recent trip that opened my eyes to how easily we can fall out of energetic alignment with the people around us, and how that can create feelings of being unseen or unheard.

I’ll walk you through simple, powerful tools for staying grounded and centered in your own frequency like breathwork, energetic grounding, creating protective light bubbles, and even cutting cords from draining connections. You’ll learn how to recognize vibrational mismatches without making yourself wrong, how to shift back into your own energy, and how to use gratitude as one of the fastest ways to raise your vibration.

If you’ve ever left a conversation feeling invisible or wondered why certain people suddenly feel harder to connect with, this episode will help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface. Join me to explore how honoring your own energy can bring more peace, clarity, and love, no matter who you’re surrounded by.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Simone Knego, a keynote speaker, bestselling author, podcast host, and two-time TEDx speaker. Simone is about to release her new book, Real Confidence: From Unsure to Unshakeable, coming out February 17th. Together, we explore what real confidence looks like in everyday life, how to step into your own leadership, and how to move from self-doubt to self-belief.

Simone shares the concept of “Kitchen Table Leadership,” her philosophy that true leadership isn’t just about titles or boardrooms, it’s about how we show up in our daily lives. She reminds us that modeling matters more than managing, and that the words we use with ourselves shape the lives we create. We discuss how self-talk, mindset, and awareness can transform how we see ourselves, and how affirmations, when practiced consistently, can become powerful tools for growth and self-acceptance.

We talk about the importance of letting go of limiting beliefs, honoring the person you are today, and understanding that self-care is never selfish. Simone’s “Control, Alt, Delete” mindset practice teaches us to pause, reset, and reframe our thoughts, to take control of our awareness, choose alternative perspectives, and delete the beliefs that no longer serve us.

If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re not enough, this episode will encourage you to reclaim your confidence and reconnect with your own enthusiasm for living.

Simone Knego is an international speaker, award-winning author, and confidence expert who helps high achievers reconnect with their worth and lead more meaningful lives. Her best-selling book, The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You and her globally ranked podcast, Her Unshakeable Confidence, which she co-hosts with her daughter, have inspired audiences around the world. A two-time TEDx speaker featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, Entrepreneur, and Yahoo News, Simone is also the creator of the REAL Method, a framework for building lasting confidence from the inside out. Her upcoming book, REAL Confidence, launches in February and offers a practical guide to quiet self-doubt and lead with clarity and self-respect. From summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, to raising six children and navigating the beautiful chaos of everyday life, she brings authenticity, perspective, and heart to everything she does.

In this episode of Wild Enthusiasm for Living, I sit down with Nick Shelton, speaker, coach, and creator of The Reset Button. We explore what it really means to reinvent yourself when your old life doesn’t fit anymore, especially after hitting a personal or professional milestone that was supposed to feel like “success," but leaves you feeling lost instead.

Nick shares his story of retiring early from a high-powered career in the oil and gas industry, only to find himself struggling with identity, purpose, and depression. What he discovered next became the foundation of The Reset Button, a process designed to help you reimagine your life, find your new purpose, and create a life that genuinely lights you up.

We talk about how to find your “second mission” in life, what purpose actually looks like when you don’t have one, and how showing up in new spaces, even awkwardly, is often the first step toward a more meaningful life. If you’re feeling stuck, directionless, or like you’ve outgrown the person you were, this conversation is for you.

About Nick:
Nick Shelton is a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, international speaker, and former petroleum chemist who has reinvented himself more than once. After serving in the U.S. Air Force and building a decades-long career in the oil and gas industry, Nick retired early at 49, only to discover that freedom without purpose can feel like a slow collapse.
That crisis led him to rebuild his identity from the ground up, creating a six-phase framework that gave him back clarity, confidence, and direction.

Today, he’s the creator of The Reset Button, a reinvention protocol for accomplished men navigating retirement, major career shifts, or life transitions who find themselves asking: What’s next?
Nick is also the author of the best-selling book An Introvert’s Guide to World Domination, where he helped thousands of quiet professionals thrive in a noisy world. His work has been featured on stages, in university classrooms, and in global podcasts.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone on a healing journey, learning to stop abandoning themselves, and ready to reclaim their voice. Whether you’re working on personal growth, healing your inner child, or just trying to create more peace and power in your life, this is your invitation to include you in your kindness.

This episode is an honest dive into one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics out there: forgiveness. And no, this isn’t about pretending it didn’t hurt, or making anyone right for what they did. This is about the kind of forgiveness that sets you free.

Forgiveness can feel impossible when you’re still holding onto the anger, the pain, or even just the story of what happened. But what if that story, as true as it feels, is the very thing keeping your heart closed? Keeping you stuck?

In this conversation, I’ll take you inside my own process of the tools and shifts that helped me uncover where I was still carrying emotional weight I thought I’d left behind. I talk about how subtle resentment hides, how old emotions sneak into the present, and how powerful it can be to start letting go of what’s no longer serving you.

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m over it,” but still find your thoughts drifting back to that person or that moment, you might not be as free as you think. And if you’ve ever wondered how to start healing, for real, this episode is your invitation.

This is about releasing the past, reclaiming your energy, and opening your heart, maybe wider than it’s ever been.
If that sparks something in you, come listen. You might just find the piece you didn’t know you were missing.

In this episode of Wild Enthusiasm for Living, I’m exploring something many of us struggle with: letting go of control and learning to trust the universe. If you’ve been feeling stuck, burned out, or like you’re forcing things to happen, this conversation is for you.

I talk about the difference between surrender and giving up, what it really means to co-create with the universe, and how to tune into guidance that’s already available. I also share some of the simple tools that have helped me, like affirmations, journaling, oracle cards, and breathwork, to move out of fear and into trust.

You’ll learn how to recognize when you’re operating from ego, how to reconnect with your own sense of spiritual support, and why trusting the process often leads to something greater than you could have imagined.

If you're ready to invite more ease, flow, and spiritual connection into your life, this episode will support you in remembering that you’re never doing it alone, and you were never meant to.

Take a deep breath, lean back, and let’s explore what it means to truly surrender.
