The UpLiving Podcast
Confidence doesn’t come from having it all figured out - it comes from learning how to return to yourself, again and again, no matter what life throws your way. On The UpLiving Podcast, confidence coach Ciara Schewe helps you create a grounded, intentional life where self-love and personal growth actually feel doable. Through honest conversations, practical tools, and heart-centered insights, you’ll learn how to quiet the noise, trust yourself, and step into the version of you that feels authentic and powerful. Whether we’re talking self-love, movement, simplifying your home, or navigating the overwhelm of daily life, each episode is designed to help you build real confidence from the inside out.

How to build confidence from the inside out.
In this special episode, I’m sharing the live recording of my Confidence Masterclass. Together, we explore what confidence really means, why it can feel strong in one area of life and shaky in another, and how it shifts from day to day.
I open up about my own journey - from being a dancer who felt at home on stage, to losing that spark and becoming terrified to speak in public, to finally realizing that confidence doesn’t come from knowing more or doing more. The real game-changer? Confidence comes from within - through self-trust, self-love, and being deeply rooted in who you are.
If you’ve ever thought confidence was something you had to earn or learn from the outside, this episode will help you see that it’s a skill you can grow, no matter where you’re starting from.

When the world feels heavy and the headlines won’t stop, it’s easy to spiral into overwhelm or feel like your only option is to log out and disappear. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve shifted my own instinct to amplify negativity into an intentional choice to ground in love and confidence instead.
I’ll guide you through a short breathwork practice you can return to anytime you feel pulled into the noise, and share simple tools to anchor back into real life and what truly matters. Plus, I’m reflecting on my new community, the power of connection, and why creating spaces of support is so important right now.
This conversation is about more than self-care - it’s about building the confidence to choose presence, love, and clarity when the world feels overwhelming.

In this episode, we’re diving into how to determine your own risk tolerance when making decisions about your health, home, and lifestyle. With so much information at our fingertips—scientific research, social media trends, expert opinions—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. So how do you strike the right balance between facts, external influences, and your own intuition? What You’ll Learn: • How to identify legitimate research and avoid misinformation. • The value and limits of social media for discovering new ideas. • Why trusting your own intuition is just as important as gathering data. • Practical tips for making confident, informed decisions without fear or paralysis. At the end of the day, research and outside perspectives can guide you, but your inner voice is what leads the way. Let’s talk about how to listen to it.
