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.

A powerful part of communicating is to let other people know we really listened and care about what they are saying. Below are 3 types of listening along with tips to consider… they may be especially helpful to keep in mind during upcoming holiday gatherings! The first is subjective.

In a world full of constant noise, advice, and endless streams of opinions, we often find ourselves looking outward for answers to life’s challenges. We seek validation from others, follow advice, and look for external solutions to problems that, deep down, we already know how to solve. The truth is, the answers we seek are often inside us, waiting to be uncovered. Trusting ourselves is not about ignoring others or isolating ourselves; it’s about quieting external noise long

At ithrive31, we understand that the recent election season may have brought forth a wide range of emotions and personal impacts. This period has often been challenging, with negativity surrounding us—whether through media, workplace conversations, or inner dialogues that may not always support our well-being. During this time, we want to remind you of ithrive31’s mission to bring positive energy to the world. Good energy includes giving yourself space to process your feeling

Leadership isn’t just about what you do for others; it’s also about managing your responsibilities. It’s a lot, and you’re not alone in feeling it! Supporting others starts with supporting yourself—but what if the work you are responsible for can’t be delegated? Consider Rachael, juggling an overflowing list of responsibilities that only she could manage, all while supporting a team that needed her guidance. She felt stuck, but she found a way through by taking a few key step
