Go Boldly Initiative was born from the deep need to serve from a place of purpose and passion.
Our goal is to elevate and uplift the women who arrive in our personal development community. We dig deep into the inner workings of how we journeyed through to where we are today, the latest science and research, all the spiritual and woo we can find, and we combine it into our passion; bold and brave living.

What do you love most about your job?
I love the moment of clarity in a client’s voice when something fully clicks. I also looooove the thrill of the first few seconds in front of a crowd before I start a group coaching session with Tovah.
What’s on your nightstand?
Books, more books, pens, note pads, some more books, headphones, and lots of water. Oh and old hair ties!
Favorite quote(s):
“I’m not a bird. No net will ensnare me. I’m a human being that has her own independent will.” – Charlotte Bronte
“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.” – Henry David Thoreau
What’s your favorite way to start the day?
Coffee, kindle, sunshine, and quiet. Some snuggles are always nice too.
What has been on your bucket list the longest?
Writing and publishing a novel, to be honest. As for something more adventurous, I have always wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail, go to Iceland, and take a cruise to Antarctica.
Favorite Part of Go Boldly Mission:
The community we are building. Women should be free to be whatever and however they want, and to be a small part of making that happen is deeply satisfying.
What’s your favorite way to start the day?
On the weekend, I like to start it very slowly. Stay in bed reading, journaling, meditating, until hunger drives me out. Eat and then walk. During the week, I wake up in the dark, eat something and head out for a walk.
What has been on your bucket list the longest?
Write a book, perhaps a novel or a memoir. And while I’m not sure that I still want to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, there are some hiking itches I’d still like to scratch.
Favorite Part of Go Boldly Mission:
My favorite part of our mission is to “empower people.” I love the idea that after working with us a person can be a truer version of themselves and bring more light to the world.

Job Title:
Podcaster, Speaker, Creator, Mom, Technology Guru, Coach, Devoted Reader.
What do you love most about your job?
I love when we’re working with a group or an individual and something that they always saw as a “should” or an “ought” is suddenly dismissed and they are freed from it. It’s amazing to watch someone see a limitless life open up.
What’s on your nightstand?
A lamp, lotion, a painting by an artist my family has known for decades Lynne Yancha, a bowl of crystals, my journal, a daily reader, my kindle.
Favorite quote(s):
“What is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives, but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgement at those of us trying to dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fear-mongering. If you’re criticizing from a place where you’re not also putting yourself on the line, I’m not interested in your feedback.”
― Brené Brown
Authenticity & Courage
Custom Personal Development Plans for Your Specific Goals
There is no one size fits all plan for life. Every one and every business has a unique journey. As personal development coaches, we know from experience that while trying to emulate our heroes is helpful for a time; it is also absolutely necessary to stop, listen to what is going on inside of you or your organization, and set real heart-centered intentions for your future. Those intentions, when clearly set and held with faith, courage, and conviction, can be met. We can help you get there.
Work with us!
We would love to hear from you! We know it can be scary to take that first step on a new path and start working with someone on your personal development. You deserve the best and most fulfilling now and future.
