As 2025 comes to a close, we have been reflecting on the incredible community of women who have walked alongside us this year. We wanted to reach out and personally thank you for your support, your voice, and your encouragement.
Whether you joined us for a Masterclass series when we first began, helped us shape our vision through an information-gathering interview, shared your wisdom at the June Roundtable, or connected with us during Move and Mingle, you have been a vital part of this journey. To those of you who gathered at the Bloom Leadership Circle breakfast—or those already signed up for our 2026 BLC events—thank you for showing up for yourselves and each other. We are so very excited about our upcoming events and our growing community.
We just wrapped up an intensive planning session looking ahead for what’s to come in 2026 and beyond for Thrive & Rise, and we are invigorated by the vision we’ve mapped out. Our focus for the coming year is to continue building a restorative community of personal and professional support during the seasons when leaders like you need it most.
A First Look at 2026
Because you are part of this inner circle, we wanted to give you a first look at what’s coming in January. Based on Brené Brown’s brand-new book, Strong Ground, we are launching a unique Bibliocoaching series specifically for people who want better for themselves.
We’ll be starting with a free live session on Saturday January 3rd at 1:00 pm to help you find your "Strong Ground" for the new year, followed by a deep-dive coaching journey to translate some of Brené Brown’s powerful concepts into real-world leadership action.
The first session is designed to stand alone and also offers a first experience of bibliocoaching for those interested in continuing.
If something comes up and you can’t attend live, we’ll share a replay with everyone who registers.
Thank you for being part of Thrive & Rise. We are so honored to lead and learn alongside you.
With gratitude and excitement for what's ahead,
Angie & Dana
Thrive & Rise Academy
