Bold

Kelly Rose Lamb

This show is for women who believe there is more than the script we’ve been handed. I’ll be talking to women who have made courageous decisions to pursue their passions, build communities, challenge norms, and who ultimately lived into being fully themselves. Why does this matter so much to me? Throughout my life I've often felt alone when I chose to be bold—or wished I had more female role models and support. If you can relate I hope you’ll join the conversation. Wherever you are in your  evolution of being a woman in this world, my aim is to uncover other women’s experiences and stories.
