Madison absolutely loved the Thrive program. It gave her something to look forward to each week. It was an absolutely wonderful course, that I feel all girls could learn something from. It was a very powerful and positive place for her to learn and grow. She has learned to take time for herself, and think things through. She has learned how to communicate better, and different ways to approach and handle her emotions.
She was having a hard time working through her emotions before the Thrive program, but she is definitely able to communicate better now.
I absolutely love personal development and it was such an incredible journey to watch Madison go through this program. She has learned things that she can take with her for the rest of her life. I feel like touching on yoga and meditation so young was a wonderful experience for her. This is something I’m still learning about as an adult!
If anyone is considering putting their daughter in the Thrive program, I would highly recommend them to do so! The girls had a safe space to learn, grow, and ask questions! This was such a great experience for our daughter, and I’m so glad we found this program!
Thank you for your time and knowledge. We are so thankful our daughter was able to enjoy such a wonderful experience.

We enrolled our daughter in the THRIVE program during the pandemic to help give her support and interaction with girls her age as we were noticing the isolation was affecting her self confidence, she was struggling with verbalizing emotions and missing the social connection that is so important at this young age. The THRIVE sessions took us on an incredible journey of transformation and personal growth for our daughter, connecting to a group of peers in a safe and supportive learning environment was exactly what she needed. The confidence building, emotional, mental growth we have seen through this program has given our daughter life skills she can bring forward in all areas of her life for years to come. THRIVE is an incredibly positive program that helps develop stronger growth mindset, a deeper level of self love and a level up on confidence. Our youth today need to be supported, encouraged and guided. Michele leads by example, her sessions are filled with fun activities, the content is filled with coping strategies young girls need. We are definitely looking forward to future programs with Michele. If you are looking for an incredible experience, THRIVE is it!

I love to see my daughters engaged in something other than the television or their tablets (they're shy but talkative in this class, they're not athletic but they do the exercising at the end of each class, they dislike homework but they'll work hard on the weekly tasks and feel so much pride).
Michele teaches with passion (she's always smiling, knows the topics well, accommodates
many different learning styles) and with enthusiasm, (she's energized and gets the kids energized every class). The classes are relevant to their age and the tools assist with challenges they may be going through during this time in their life. The tasks are not difficult for the girls, they can do them independently with the charts provided and I like that it gets them thinking and involved. I would definitely recommend this class!

What people are sayin'
What was the biggest struggle your daughter had before participating in Thrive?
My daughter is quite a firecracker and had a tendency to blow up when conflicts arose in the family.
What has your daughter learned that has helped her with some challenges she has faced?
My daughter has become a much better communicator and listener.
What actions have you or she have taken so far?
When frustrated, she is asked to step back and take a moment so that she can better communicate her point of view.
What results have you or she have experienced so far?
My daughter has done a lot of maturing since starting this program. I think it is so important for girls to take this type of course with other girls their age. They are learning to communicate and listen to other points of view from an early age, which teaches them respect for others and the importance of bonding with others over a common goal.
What would you say to someone who was considering participating in Thrive?
Thrive teaches so many incredible tools that are relevant for the girls to use for the rest of their lives! Learning fundamental healthy coping skills from an early age will help make been better adults. This type of course allows your daughter to find a voice and speak with peers about issues that arise in everyday life. Michele has a way of speaking to the girls and making them all feel comfortable to share their stories and points of view.
Thanks for this opportunity Michele. I also want to mention, I was listening to your talk yesterday and it sounds like the girls have such a blast with you. I really think you need to consider making a career change and becoming a teacher! The girls respond to you so well and you are so great with them! My daughter thinks you’re the nicest person ever!!! Thank you for all that you do with the girls.

My heart overflows with gratitude for my daughter’s journey with Michele and her Thrive program for young girls.
As a 9 year old, I wanted her to have a place to discuss matters of the heart, soul and the power within her to set her on the path for a strong future... and it all sounds better coming from someone else other than momma!
Michele creates a space where a diverse group of girls can come together and learn from each other in a connected and supported way.
Thank you Michele for the work you do with our young girls 💕

Georgia absolutely loved the Thrive program. I know for sure that she would do another session with you- with the same content or different content or whatever!
It was something I never once had to push her to get ready for!
She really liked that it was her own group- especially for her.
The post session activities that she did were a great confidence booster-just sitting with her in the kitchen- going over and brainstorming all of the things that make her wonderful and amazing and who she is were wonderful. She would grin from ear to ear as we talked. It was such a positive experience.
I know she also loved chatting with the other girls in the group- tossing ideas around- listening to other opinions- and listening to what you had to say about things.
Thrive is something that I wish was around when I was growing up- especially for the 10-15 year old me. Even though it was all online and not in person did not take away from the experience at all! It was still very effective.
I honestly wish it was a weekly thing- longer than the 10 sessions.
Please put us on an email list of any upcoming sessions!
Thank you so much for the incredible experience. I have saved every email from every session- so that we can go over things again and again.

Madison communicates differently now. She is more open to discussing what she is feeling and why she is feeling that way.
She is also speaking more positively.
Not only has she learned the skills, she is using them to cope with her emotions!
She is able to communicate what the issue is instead of keeping it in.
Madison is so much more confident. She still has more to work on but there's been big change and is constantly improving.
