About
Tess Marshall is a wife, mother, entrepreneur, speaker, author, workshop and retreat leader, spiritually-based, fear shattering, calculated risk taker, obsessed with being happy, courageous and bold, witty, big-hearted, loving, passionate, runner, world traveler and ADHD hyper human being.
Her life experiences and work as a counselor and coach combined with her intuition and has led to great wisdom. She shares it openly with you.
The Bold Life is a delicious and juicy mix of inspiration, spirituality and personal development.
The Mission
I lovingly push you out of your comfort zone.
I Encourage You To Do More Bold. To Begin. Now.
I model boldness by showing up, speaking my truth, and doing as much good as possible for as many people as possible every day.
If there’s anyway I can serve you or help you please let me know!
The Passion
I’m passionate about writing and speaking my Truth. If I make your life easier today I’ve done my job. If I made a difference in the world today I’ve done my job.
I’ve always been on a spiritual path and I have a Masters Degree in counseling psychology have recently worked as a life coach. I’m very intuitive and allow my gut and heart to lead me in everything I’m involved in.
The Bold
I live boldly in the present moment. I take action on my dreams. I am willing to take risks and move forward no matter what the outcome. I encourage others to do the same.
I know that I have all of the talent, passion and resources I need to succeed. I thrive! I help you excel and thrive as well.
The Love
I believe we’re here on planet earth to grow in kindness and love. Nothing is more important than learning to love on a deeper level. In the end it’s all we take with us when we die. I believe we’re all connected and every moment matters. There are no mistakes.
I believe in donating my time, talent and money. I volunteer, I mentor and serve others. You matter to me.
The Integrity
I speak and write my truth. I’m very direct. I’ve written about this at length in my book, “Flying by the Seat of My Soul.” You can purchase it here.
The Connections
I’m interested in life-long friendships. I want to know all about you. If there is any thing I can help you with please let me know.
If you have bold ideas and would like to talk about partnering with me on a project, let me know. If you want to hire me to help you with a project or as a speaker or coach let me know. I’d be delighted. I’m in this for the long haul!
Personal
I’m fun and I love being out in nature. I like to play, hike, and travel, explore and laugh. I fill my life with the best values, experiences and people. I’ve met several of my blogging friends in person and I’m planning on traveling to meet many more.
I have a daughter who flies with Southwest which means I fly free! This also allows me to speak and do workshops and retreats in other cities with no additional travel cost!
My Recommendation
Look at things you’ve never seen. Go places you’ve never been. Do things you’ve never done before. “What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.”
Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more or who’s doing what. Release desperation. It’s the ego voice attempting to distract you from your own success. Relax and live with patience, persistence and peace of mind. Be bold, be brave and move forward and make your life matter!
Thanks for visiting The Bold Life. We have a magnificent future you and I. Anything is possible at anytime! Together we’ll accomplish great things!

Hi Tess,
It makes me happy to read you…such a lively, ongoing and creative being…I love people like that, because I am not so far away as you, I know it, that’s why I am reading….
Keep going doing what you love doing, honouring your being and all the gifts that has been given to you…
I love when you write that you are ADHD, cause sometimes I do feel the same, always on the go, making things happen, quick minded, exhuberant…and you may know also that sometimes the pace seems going slow…
Anyway, so far, I am enjoying each moment that life is giving me, knowing it is meant to be so, for the right reason….
Be bold and beautiful Tess….
Love
Danielle
