¡Hola Mi Gente!


Welcome to our monthly round-up, where we share the latest developments and exciting announcements from Thriving Human.


February was a whirlwind of expansion, alignment, and deep writing—I have so much to share as we continue our mission of empowering human liberation through our first-gen embodied leadership community.


As we move through the final weeks of winter and prepare for the spring season, we're excited to share our journey and invite you to be part of what's next. Whether you're a long-time community member or just discovering us, there's something here for you.



 

🌿February Round-up🌿

 

📣 Strategic Plan Published

 

This has been a year in the making: Conceived last year, gestated in January, and finally birthed in February. My 3-Year Strategic Plan is live! It’s a roadmap that centers values, sustainability, and moving differently than the systems we’re in. It’s already making my day-to-day operations smoother, helping me focus on what matters.

Now that our strategic plan is in place, here’s what’s coming up:



🌐Strategic Priority 2:

 

Expanding Our Voice Through Brand and Thought Leadership

 

As outlined in our Strategic Plan, one of our core priorities is Brand & Thought Leadership. We're committed to sharing authentic perspectives that illuminate the first-gen experience, support emerging leaders, guide fellow solopreneurs, and champion human-centered, embodied leadership principles.

 

Our goal isn't simply to write—it's to reach, move, and inspire through storytelling that acknowledges the beautiful complexity of our intersectional identities and experiences. Whether discussing the challenges of navigating systems not built for us, sharing tools for sustainable success, or exploring what truly liberatory leadership looks like, we aim to create content that resonates deeply and catalyzes transformation.

 

That's why we're expanding our platforms to connect more meaningfully with our community.



🖋️ Blog + Substack Kick-Off!

I officially kicked TikTok & Instagram to the curb (read why here), and I’m elated to be writing more on Substack and our Blog. Writing has always felt way more natural to me than churning out social media content. Afterall, I am a logophile who sells curated books, journals, and notebooks. It’s wild that I thought I needed Instagram and TikTok to succeed.


We live, we learn, we pivot.

📣 What's Next? 📣

 

 🚨Big News: We Have an App!

Sirens on, but don't panic! Be excited because, dun dunna dunThriving Human Community is going to have an APP!!! Eeeeeeek! 🎉

📱

When I first launched Thriving Human, I knew our online community had to be integral to our work. We heal in community, and I’ve spent nearly a decade in the nonprofit space witnessing the power of collective work. But as I built out the online platform, one thing kept nagging at me: the mobile experience wasn’t cutting it.

 

I told myself, one day, I’m going to have an app. Maybe I’d learn to code, maybe I’d hire a developer—but either way, I was going to make it happen.

 

And then? Wix dropped an app-building feature.

Timing? Perfect. Alignment? Divine.

 

I researched, designed, and now we’re finalizing the Thriving Human app! I’ll be dropping sneak peeks next week😏. The app will officially roll out for Arrive: Sowing Seeds this Spring Equinox.



Manifestation and synchronicity are real 


💫



 

🌱 Arrive: Sowing Seeds - Spring Equinox Cohort

 

For the introverts, the deep thinkers, the ones who struggle to find meaningful connection in our individualistic world—Arrive is for you.

 

IRL connection isn’t always easy. (I live in LA, where saying “hi” to someone either gets you side-eyed or mistaken for flirting. 🙄)

 

But community? It’s essential.

 

That’s why Arrive exists. While you can join anytime, there’s something magical about moving together in a cohort—collective healing, shared motivation, and deep accountability.

 

This Spring Equinox, we’re aligning with the season of growth and renewal through Sowing Seeds, an 8-week guided journey based on my signature Sowing Seeds Blueprint. 🌿✨



Spring enrollment offer on a light green background, detailing discounts and perks from March 10-23, with emphasis on bringing a friend.



Special enrollment closes on March 23rd.

After that, regular pricing applies (no perks).



🤔 Is this for you?

 

The Arrive: Sowing Seeds Program is perfect if you:

 

✔️ Desire change but are unsure where to start

✔️ Seek a supportive community that understands your challenges

✔️ Want to transform your life, not just exist within it

✔️ Believe in the power of collective growth


 

👥 Coaching: Blossom & Thrive

Our Blossom and Thrive coaching programs continue to support first-gens, new leaders/managers struggling in their jobs, those seeking work-life balance, or anyone feeling misaligned and unsure where to turn. These programs help you change direction with confidence and support—because often, you already know what to do but need guidance on how to do it.

 

For my first-gens, new leaders, and burned-out professionals—if you’re feeling stuck, misaligned, or at a career crossroads, Blossom & Thrive coaching is for you.

These programs are designed to help you change direction with confidence and support. Often, you already know what you need, but you don’t know how to get there. That’s where I come in—guiding you through transformation, with tools, insight, and real-world strategy.
