Connie: The Confidence Coach

Our recent Confidence GLOW UP: Body Image Reset will be rescheduled! In these workshops, we explore the value of pausing with intention.

With the beautiful weather, ongoing wedding and community events that overlapped schedules for attendees, the timing of this early-summer season wasn’t quite aligned so I have postponed this session.

The intention behind these workshops is always to create an empowering space where everyone feels seen, supported, and fully engaged—and I continue to encourage you to register for a later session. I'll be rescheduling and sharing new dates and event information soon.

In the meantime, if you’ve been curious about confidence coaching or want more personalized support, private sessions are always available and often the most powerful way to dive in to your confidence journey with the support of a coach one-on-one. 30 minute virtual sessions are available and can be scheduled at your convenience.

The next opportunity.
The next summer season.

********************************************

Sault Ste. Marie, ON — Cities and Oceans is proud to announce a special edition of its signature Confidence GLOW UP Seminar called the “Body Image Reset” on Saturday, June 6 from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Embers on the Ridge at Crimson Ridge.

Founded by boutique owner and confidence coach Connie Carello, the Confidence GLOW UP Seminar was created to support individuals in rebuilding their relationship with self-image, confidence, and internal dialogue through guided, reflective learning.

From offering an open model call to client experiences, Connie spent years observing a consistent behavioural pattern as the owner of a body positive boutique—individuals shrinking themselves or negotiating their worth based on body image.

This led to the establishment of a “no negative self-talk” standard within her creative spaces and ultimately the development of a guided confidence-building workshop she continues to evolve.

Her experience as a Certified Educator and approach to mindset mentoring has led to the creation of a dedicated platform known as Connie: The Confidence Coach

Private virtual sessions offering one-on-one guided activities and structured reflective exercises as well as public speaking engagements are available.

This coaching practice focuses on confidence, self-image, and empowerment and is not clinical therapy but intended to complement professional mental health support as part of a broader approach to well-being.

“My work has shown me that confidence is not something people lack—it is something that gets interrupted by self-criticism and negative self-talk” says Connie. “The Confidence GLOW UP was designed to break that toxic cycle.”

The Body Image Reset edition is designed for individuals who are ready to shift the way they see themselves—beyond self-criticism and limiting beliefs. As an immersive experience, participants will explore the inner dialogue that shapes self-image and learn more compassionate ways of relating to themselves.

“This edition was created for individuals who are ready to stop viewing confidence as something reserved for ‘someday’ and begin building a healthier relationship with their home… their body today,” says Connie.

Participants will engage in a series of structured, guided activities:

💫 Reflection exercises focused on self-perception
💫 Supportive discussion (optional participation)
💫 Practical tools to interrupt negative self-talk
💫 Mindset exercises to strengthen self-worth
💫 An empowering photo to conclude with CC Photography

Tickets can be purchased at:
https://citiesandoceans.com/product/theconfidenceglowup/ or by phoning (705) 255 6605

The experience also includes a nourishing lunch featuring red pepper soup, gourmet chicken wrap, and Caesar salad.

Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook as they are guided through a transformative self-reflection process. The event is open to individuals aged 19+ (younger participants permitted with guardian accompaniment).

👋 For those who may not have met me yet, allow me to introduce myself!

I am Connie Carello and I am the boutique owner of Cities and Oceans and the founder of Connie: The Confidence Coach.

Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of helping people reconnect with their confidence through fashion and self-love.

I created the evolving workshop, the "Confidence GLOW UP Seminar" from years of experience as a Certified Educator and through hosting open model calls, fashion shows, and photo sessions featuring real people, with the intention of redefining the term “model” to be more inclusive.

Over time, I witnessed people shrinking themselves—speaking with harsh self-criticism, apologizing for their body or hesitating to be seen. I was motivated to create a "no negative self-talk" rule for those entering the boutique space.

These experiences propelled me to design a structured, guided confidence-building experience that strengthens self-awareness, interrupts negative self-talk and supports the development of a healthier self-image—built through compassion instead of criticism.

Our June 6th "Body Image Reset" edition is created for those who are finally exhausted by negative self-talk—and ready to step out of the cycle of criticizing their reflection and postponing confidence until “someday.”

🤝 I look forward to meeting you and helping you embrace your authentic beauty!
