My Story

I’m Theda Blackwood and I’ve been an industry leader for more than 20 years! My passion is helping women with their self confidence… I didn’t know that when I first started my businesses… but I discovered the passion and joy I had when women were stepping out of their comfort zone and doing things that made them a little uncomfortable, things that resulted in personal growth and business growth. 

My mother raised me to believe I could be anything I wanted to be and do anything I wanted to do.   She broke the mold with me.    She was raised and “told” that she could be a teacher, nurse or secretary and all she wanted to be an archeologist.   

At the age of 12-14 I toured the United States in the Broadway tour of Annie, I was a full time orphan for a year while also playing the roll as Annie as her understudy in the 3rd National Tour and after a year of touring, Martin Charnin asked me to play the role of Annie in the 1st National Tour.   I did 8 shows a week in front of thousands of people.  It was an amazing experience!

I then went to college for Interior Design and became an accredited Interior Designer as a partner of an Architecture firm, running their Interior Design department.  I loved every minute of it until I had my son and wanted to stay home with him.

This led me to joining Southern Living Magazine’s direct sales division, Southern Living at HOME and as a stay at home mom of an 18 month and a 3 1/2 year old, I was able to build a multi-million dollar business from home.   That company closed in 2013, the same year that my mom passed away and a jewelry designer from Atlanta, GA asked me to help launch their direct sales company.   I worked with them for 6 years only to have that business close in the pandemic.    I truly believed I wasn’t going to sell anything ever again, but a friend called to tell me about yet another start up…. I agreed to try the products and was blown away with the results.   I joined a brand in the hair industry and built my third successful business, rising to the top of the compensation plan for the 3rd time in my career but just recently, that company decided to close too.    

After interviewing 15 different companies, I found yet another company that supports my mission of helping women with their confidence!    I can’t wait to share more!

 

Mission

My Mission is to help women entrepreneurs in any industry grow their confidence, specifically in social media…..

Being in my mid-50s, I see a lot of women scared to “put themselves out there” on social media and yet, in today’s society, we kind of need to put ourselves out there in order for people to find us, our businesses and our services.

No matter what your business is, no matter what your skill level is, it’s my passion to help you gain confidence on any social platform to help you grow your following and your business.   It’s great to have a website for people to go to, but they find you on social media.     I want to help you lean into it in a way that makes you feel authentically you…. and will gently push you out of your comfort zone to help you get YOUR brand or your business found!

Accomplishments

My professional acting career, my eye for aesthetics and my ability to teach and  grow  thousands of women’s businesses in the social selling channel will benefit you as you want to begin growing your business on different social platforms.

I’ve coached thousands of women to get out of their comfort zone and do what they need to do to grow their business online and I’d like to coach you to do just that in a way that is authentic to YOU!

I’d love to schedule a one on one with you to support you as you grow your social selling business!

My Why

My mom told me I could do anything and be anything I wanted to be!   I took my self confidence for granted….. I didn’t know what I didn’t know until I started coaching women in my direct sales business….. I saw women have real fears…. fear of failure, fear of success and either one could be paralyzing.    

My goal is to help more women gain self confidence… whether it has been helping women feel more confident in decorating, entertaining, styling their outfit with jewelry, having a great hair day or feeling more confident in the skin they are in!    I’m up for the challenge!   I also love to help women gain confidence in their social media presence to help them grow their brand!  If you’re feeling the need to gain a little self confidence in your look, your brand, your social media presence or your business…. I’m here for support.  

I’d love to get the opportunity to get to meet you and support you on that journey!
