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

 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?
