The doors to Thrive Collective are now closed.
After a lot of reflection over the past few months, I've made the decision that it’s time to say goodbye.
Our meetup in July was our final one.
If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that April marked ten years since my breast cancer diagnosis.
There was a time when reaching the five-year milestone felt so incredibly far away. It felt like time stood still. And then somehow, the second five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Hitting that ten-year mark made me stop and really think.
Not just about my business, but about my life too.
What I want my next chapter to look like and what matters most outside of my business.
And the more I reflected, the clearer the answer became.
I want to slow down.
My boys are growing up. My husband and I are in a different season of life. And extended family circumstances and needs have changed.
More than anything, I've realised I no longer want to spend every spare hour building my business.
I want to spend more time doing the things I love, with the people I love, while I have the chance to.
So, alongside pressing pause on my podcast, it's time to close the doors to Thrive too.
Will it be forever? Honestly, I don't know.
Maybe in a few years, when life looks a little different, Thrive will find its way back. But for this season, for right now, this feels right.
And if I didn't follow my heart, if I didn't trust my intuition, I can't really call myself the Unapologetic Mompreneur, can I?
Hosting Thrive has been such a privilege and I've loved every single meetup. Whether you’ve joined us in-person or simply connected online, thank-you. 💗
Every conversation over coffee, every introduction made, every idea shared and every friendship formed has been a reminder of why Thrive mattered so much.
A huge thank you too to Jess and all at The Little Arts Workshop for giving us such a wonderful home for our meetups and to our amazing guest speakers for sharing all their knowledge and wisdom.
This isn't totally goodbye, so please don't be a stranger.
Come and find me over at the Unapologetic Mompreneur, or send me a DM. And if you're ever in Bishop's Stortford and fancy a coffee, I'll never say no to a dirty chai latte and a good chinwag! ☕😉
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this wonderful chapter of my business and life.
