An online resource center for everyday life
ThrivingPlus educates, motivates, and shares resources that help people of all ages overcome the obstacles standing between them and a life that flourishes in every area.

About
ThrivingPlus is designed to educate, motivate, and share resources that help individuals of all ages overcome the obstacles standing between them and wholeness, fulfillment, and prosperity.
We believe that thriving is not reserved for a lucky few. Most of the time, the difference is access — knowing what help exists, who to talk to, and what first step to take. That access is what we are building here, in one place, in plain language.
Everything we publish is gathered with the same question in mind: will this help someone move forward today? Whether that is a short article, an honest interview, or a phone number for an organization that can help, our aim is for every visit to leave you a little better equipped than you arrived.
Our Purpose
ThrivingPlus was founded by Jeanette Stevens as a place where people can find honest information, encouragement, and real connections to the experts and organizations that can help.
Barriers show up in every area of life — emotional, relational, financial, physical, and spiritual. They rarely arrive one at a time. Our resource center is organized around those real-life categories rather than around jargon, so you can start wherever you actually are.
Alongside written materials, we share videos and interviews with people who have walked through hard things, plus factual information and testimonials that make growth feel possible rather than abstract.
And this is a two-way space. Tell us what you are facing, and the resources we gather next will be shaped by what you say you need.
