I'm on a mission
to help women believe in themselves just as much as I do
Have you ever...
wanted more for your life
but don't know where to get it or where to start
felt numb from trauma or people
limiting your ability to grow professionally
struggled with confidence
that created barriers to your ambition
That's where I come in...

Hi, I'm Dessi!
I'm a motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur, toxicologist, firefighter, and more.
I am powerful beyond measure.
But only because someone believed in me.
After fighting the adversities of losing a parent not once but twice, battling life-threatening illnesses, and grappling with happiness, I came across an ally who's simple belief in me supercharged a belief in myself. Since that day, I've saved lives as a first responder and billion-dollar programs as a toxicologist, I've launched several successful businesses, I've become a published author, I've discontinued antidepressants, and I've become sober.
Now, I'm on a mission to pay it forward and help women believe in themselves and find their worth.
We all have power, it's simply a matter of discovery.
The
Bold Doesn't Look Back

This is kelly.
This is Kelly.
​
Kelly has struggled throughout her life with having belief in herself, stemming from various traumas and experiences since childhood.
​
As a result, Kelly never really found a career and constantly shifted through different odd jobs like lawn care, landscaping, building management, cleaning services, etc. And she was good at it because she has a ridiculous work ethic.
​
But her real passion was always public safety and helping people.
A few years ago, Kelly decided to try to get into the police academy and fought her way through interviews, exams and physicals to do so. Unfortunately, she kept getting “no’s” and this added to her low confidence and belief that she couldn’t do anything more than manual labor odd jobs.
​
Then, on a whim, Kelly turned to Bold Doesn’t Look Back to help her find her way.
​
After learning about Kelly’s story, I realized she would be an incredible firefighter. Her high work ethic and no bullshit, fierce personality was the perfect match for a career as a first responder and it aligned with what she always dreamed of doing.
​
So, we started the journey.
​
I helped Kelly with opportunity by getting her into a volunteer department in her town so she could learn the ropes and make sure this is what she wanted to put all her energy into. I had been a volunteer firefighter for over ten years, so I gave her tools for her gear and books I had used during my own classes.
​
She really loved being a volunteer so we created a plan to get her into a paid department. In our state, the certification classes for paid and volunteer firefighters are the same and if you join a volunteer department they will pay for you to take the classes which you can then leverage for a paid position.
​
Kelly took and passed her EMT class, Firefighter I class and the CPAT physical exam. I helped her study and gave her a community of other female first responders that propelled her confidence and love for the path she was walking.
​
She had speedbumps along the way, but our unwavering village had her back.
​
Kelly then applied for her first paid position and passed with flying colors. The department even offered her the job in writing before she had completed the final tests of her classes.
​
Today, Kelly is a paid female firefighter living her dream career every day and Bold Doesn’t Look Back helped her get there. Today, she is setting the world on fire and we continue to walk with her while she does it.
​
If you want what Kelly has
- a got your back, boldly fierce community lifting each other up -
