Hi all, Coach Lauren here! Have you ever heard the phrase “assume good intent”? It seems a bit self-explanatory, but I wanted to take some time to dive into this phrase. This is a helpful lens for unlocking more good energy in our lives. What does “assume good intent” mean? Assuming good intent means taking a pause, giving folks the benefit of the doubt, and asking ourselves “What do I actually know about their intentions? What does this person believe is ‘good’, and what ‘g

At ithrive31, our mission is to bring good energy to the world. We aim to bring love and positive energy to the workplace, our homes, and our communities. We also believe that one of the most powerful forms of energy is love. As we celebrate love in all its forms this February, we are reminded of how this energy transcends beyond romantic relationships and can be infused into every part of our lives. Love in the Workplace Some might argue that love has no place in the workpl

Personal development is a journey, not a destination. It’s easy to forget this when we’re bombarded with new trends, advice, and practices promising to transform our lives. But what if the most important mindset shift isn’t about finding the “perfect” practice—but about embracing ourselves as beautiful and evolving works-in-progress? Recognize That We’re Learning as We Go Life is a continual process of learning and discovery. As we explore personal growth, we often try new p

I love the camaraderie of coaching. It’s so inspiring to spend time with fellow Coaches—people who lean into personal growth and development. This doesn’t make us perfect, but it does mean we understand the power of personal responsibility—for our relationships, our well-being, and the fulfillment we seek in life. Coaches know that achieving the results we want begins with taking responsibility for our own actions. As we step into 2025, I invite you to reflect on the results

How often do we allow ourselves time to fully arrive into a space? As we rush from place to place or meeting to meeting, a gentle reminder that mindfulness practices can help us get settled and better prepare for what’s next. As a life coach and teacher, I’ve found that incorporating simple mindfulness practices can help me be more present. And in sharing these methods with clients and students, I recognize we can all carve out a few moments to fully transition and get ground

And just like that, we’ve turned the calendar! Cheers to 2025! This is a beautiful time for renewed commitments, fresh starts, and a sense of optimism for what lies ahead. Use this energy to propel yourself forward—envision the future, plan for success, and dream about the goals you want to achieve this year. By harnessing this energy, you can fuel good momentum in your life. While the start of a new year brings excitement and optimism, it’s important to remember that we can

Hi all, Coach Lauren here! Have you ever thought about what types of goals set you up for success? It is the new year, and surely, many of us have New Year's resolutions on our minds. It is an unfortunate known fact, however, that these resolutions often do not last long; there’s even a “Quitter’s Day,” which falls on the second Friday of January, and research shows a significant amount of the population has already stopped their goal by that time. There are all sorts of tool

Ah, the holidays—they come with all the glitter, glam, and often far too many commitments to squeeze into a single month. As you enter December, it’s the perfect time to lean into ithrive31’s Core Principle #2: Be deliberate with your time and resources. This principle is all about setting boundaries, making intentional decisions, and choosing what truly matters to you.
