Rerelease! This season on We Go Boldly we will walk through what holds us back from living our best lives and doing all the things we dream about doing. We are focusing on how we can overcome our fear and doubt, be bolstered by faith, take risks, meet opportunity, and imagine unlimited possibilities. Every week we will work through a different aspect of what it means to both pursue our passions and accomplish the mundane; and how these topics help us to reach for our potential and live our boldest, most honest lives.
This season on We Go Boldly we will walk through what holds us back from living our best lives and doing all the things we dream about doing. We are focusing on how we can overcome our fear and doubt, be bolstered by faith, take risks, meet opportunity, and imagine unlimited possibilities. Every week we will work through a different aspect of what it means to both pursue our passions and accomplish the mundane; and how these topics help us to reach for our potential and live our boldest, most honest lives.
Our goal this season is to explore what is holding us back, keeping us locked away behind our imagined limitations, and stopping our growth. We coach women to live their version of a bold life and pursue their unique path. This season is all about taking action and living our best lives.
