About
Coaching Built for What You Carry, And the Power You’re Ready to Own.
Hi, I’m Coach MJ
Founder of Be Bold Coaching & Consulting. Retired Naval Officer. Leadership & Wellness Coach.
With 25+ years of experience leading through pressure, change, and reinvention, I help mission-driven humans rise, whether you’re navigating a major transition, carrying unspoken burdens, or quietly questioning your next move.
From the boardroom to the family room, I coach leaders, caregivers, and everyday warriors through career pivots, identity shifts, and personal resets. My trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent approach meets you exactly where you are, offering bold strategy with grounded support.
Glam meets grit. Structure meets soul. Presence with purpose. Always Bold!

Our Coaching Approach
At Be Bold Coaching & Consulting, we believe boldness doesn’t require burnout and power doesn’t have to come at the cost of peace.
Our work is guided by a trauma-informed, emotionally intelligent lens that honors your lived experience and nervous system. We coach the whole human, not just the role you play. We offer leadership, wellness, and life coaching rooted in the B.O.L.D.(T.) Method™.
This isn’t “hustle harder” coaching. This is “let’s get real and move forward with intention” coaching.
What That Looks Like:
* Safe space to process, without judgment
* Strategic coaching that blends heart and logic
* Role-play sessions grounded in real-world application
* Nervous system-regulating tools for grounded decision-making
* High-accountability partnerships that honor your pace
You don’t have to shrink to lead. You don’t have to push through pain to be powerful. Let’s lead boldly, with both purpose and presence!

How are sessions conducted?
Coaching sessions are held via Zoom for accessibility and convenience. For local clients, in-person sessions can be arranged upon request. Additionally, all role-play-based coaching packages are preferred to be conducted in person, as the human element is essential for effective execution.
What’s your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
Clients are asked to provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a session fee.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented. It’s designed to help you take intentional steps toward your goals. It is not a substitute for therapy or mental health services.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, flexible payment options are available for most coaching packages.
Is my information confidential?
Absolutely. Your privacy and trust are deeply valued. All coaching sessions and communications are kept strictly confidential.
