Welcome to Aconfidentblonde podcast! I'm your host, Kelly Schwartz. Three years ago I quit my full-time marketing job to be a content creator. I started as a dental assistant that loved serving others but I was so creative I felt like something was missing. When my son was only two I would work all day as a dental assistant and then start posting online after my son went to bed. It's been three years since I decided that I wanted to take my content creator business full time and my husband said we could.
If you are ready to change your story just like I did, then this podcast is for you. This podcast is for women who are ready to go from overwhelm to confidence, where we discuss social media, influencing, self development, organization and everything in between to help you feel your most confident self. If you’re ready to become your most confident self, make sure to hit subscribe or follow on your favorite podcast app to get notified every week!

In 2023 I experienced a ton of drastic life changes, so I started working with a therapist to help me work through all of the transitions. I’m so glad I did because now I’m in my “happy girl era,” where I truly enjoy life again.
One of the best things I’ve learned through therapy is the power of saying now. As a people pleaser, it was so hard for me to set boundaries in the past, but now I’ve learned the skills to set and maintain boundaries, which has helped me break the pattern of people-pleasing.
