Step Inside

‘Bold Dreams Held Loosely’ is a collection of missives from waystations on the journey to self-actualization and becoming.

It is a path that is constantly evolving, a path on which we create every step just before taking it. This path requires faith in our vision, and trust in Life to co-create our destination as we travel.

We Are All on Different Journeys, but We Never Walk Alone

Taryn Watts, Founder of the Mind Rebel™ Academy, and Michelle Theriault, Senior Mentor Coach, are joined by alumni and friends; together they share the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the road less traveled.

In the tradition of spiritual pilgrimage, we embark on a journey to places unknown and unseen. We surround ourselves with like-minded seekers, bravely setting out in search of the uncharted future. With every step we take, we are creating the destination within ourselves.

What Happens When You Say Yes to the Unknown

Humble Beginnings

This podcast was born from a deep desire to explore the real, raw, and often unspoken parts of the journey to becoming. To hold a bold dream loosely means to envision the wildest version of your future while staying open to how it might evolve as you do.

That’s what this podcast is: a reflection of that unfolding. What began as an idea became a space for truth, transformation, and powerful conversations that meet you exactly where you are — and guide you forward.
