101: Building confidence and learning to believe in yourself with Kelli Youngman

I don’t know about you, but when I was a little girl I dreamed of being a professional dancer. Obviously that didn’t pan out, but for Kelli Youngman it did. Kelli started dancing at the age of three and never quit. Listen as she shares her story of building confidence and learning to believe in herself. 

Kelli started dancing when her mom took her and her sister to a mommy and me dance class, and now she’s a Broadway performer who has traveled the world performing in several productions. 

When she looks back on her road to Broadway, it wasn’t smooth sailing. There were plenty of times she thought it wouldn’t happen, but that’s when she started looking inside. 

Instead of living in the belief that performing on Broadway was impossible, she shifted her thoughts and achieved her dreams. 

Kelli is sharing her story and how she started living her dream before it ever came true, and strategies you can use to push past mental blocks and make your dreams a reality. \
