0:00.0	Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole,
0:10.2	and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom
0:15.6	or something like that. So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital
0:23.3	space together. All right, everyone, welcome back. We are talking about confidence today. And this is one of
0:32.7	my absolute favorite subjects to talk about. But we all have our different life advice and ways that we
0:38.3	move through things like confidence. And I'm excited to bring on guests Simone Canego today,
0:43.8	who is going to be chatting with us all about unshakable confidence, which is, I'm excited to
0:52.3	dive into this. This is your area of expertise. Please introduce yourself and how you got

1:39.9	six kids. So like when you say six kids, that actually feels quite normal for our family. But I'm
1:45.7	wondering what impacted motherhood have on either shaking your confidence or building your
1:51.6	confidence? Because I feel like it really can go one direction or another. And sometimes it
1:55.3	ebbs and flows a lot between the two. Yeah, I would say for me, it ebbs and flows. I mean, now that
2:00.5	the kids are older, then definitely say for me, it ebbs and flows. I mean, now that the kids are older,
2:01.8	then definitely I see that they're turning out to be great humans. So I feel like, okay,
