As Seen on TV: The ABCDs of a BOLD Life & Career

Sponsored by

Welcome to The Bold Brief—

I love a good TV character. Not necessarily the admirable ones, either.

Sometimes I am most fascinated by the stubborn, overcommitted, ambitious, occasionally ridiculous characters who make decisions that leave us shouting at the television.

You know the ones.

The brilliant professional who refuses to compromise. The woman who takes care of everyone but herself. The enthusiastic leader who has absolutely no idea what he has gotten himself into. Or the powerful woman who seems to have everything under control, until we discover she does not.

Does this feel familiar to you? Maybe that is because beneath the humor, drama, and occasionally questionable decisions, these characters reveal something surprisingly recognizable about our own lives.

And that got me thinking about the ABCDs of a BOLD Life and Career.

Over the next 4 weeks, we are putting 8 unforgettable TV characters under the ABCD microscope.

AUTHENTICITY: Cristina Yang vs. Moira Rose

• One knows exactly who she is. The other must rediscover herself when nearly everything she thought defined her disappears.

• What happens when staying true to yourself means making difficult choices? And what happens when being authentic requires changing?

BALANCE: Rainbow Johnson vs. Leslie Knope

• Two exceptionally capable women who seem determined to do everything.

• But there is a difference between responsibilities others expect us to carry and expectations we place upon ourselves.

• Who decided we had to do it all?

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
