Thriving Life Collective

Thriving Life Collective Welcome to your supportive space to explore and be empowered by a life built with natural wellness tools. I am so excited you are here!

As a woman, mother and heartled educator I am here to inspire, educate and create with you. Once an educator, always an educator I am learning. Throughout my journey I have always loved being able to find better, healthier, more invigorating ways to live. Sharing those ways, with my family, friends and others makes my life most fulfilling. I have always loved the way children learn, share and grow

, with their whole heart and spirit. This led me to a career in Early Childhood Education, which over the last 17 years has taught me how valuable the gift of purpose is, to connect with and support people in their own journey of an aspiring life. One which provides them with the opportunities and choices to thrive. My path has never gone the way I expected it to, single parenthood being the most surprising aspect of my story so far. However my life certainly has been more fulfilling than I could have ever hoped for. 4 1/2 years ago a career opportunity with the North Vancouver School District brought me back to my hometown, to a community of friends and family, new and old. It has also brought my friends and mentors Jennifer and Melissa into my life, giving me the amazing chance to be be a part of this wonderful community of educators. I consider it an honour to be able to share the valuable gift of health and prosperity through everything there is to learn here at doTerra. Feel free to connect with me regarding any curiosities, questions and hopes you may have in your journey of wellness. It's time to thrive,
Meredith

This is where I was wrong.... 😏

And if you are sitting with me right now as I share my Sunday story, tell me if it lands for you too!

Seemingly simple DOES NOT equal easy! 🤯

And if I feel challenged in this way 🤔

HOW do my students feel when I expect them to always shift their behaviours & responses, as I offer seemingly straightforward supports?

Our nervous systems need safety before significant shifts can happen....💓

So when my teacher gently invited in an option to the whole class, I did not feel set apart. Instead I felt receptive to seeing & experiencing a new way.

If you're raising or teaching a neurodivergent being, then you know ~ and personally feel~ the extreme discomfort their nervous systems struggle through daily.

So I invite you to consider this 🔎 Where can we soften the struggle to prioritize a sense of ease ?

My Know ~ Wonder ~ Learn Experience can get you there! I'm excited to be opening up 5 new spaces for this coming June. Check out the details here www.thrivinglifeco.com/my-services 📝







🤔💭 Curiosity Connection ~ what is one way we can Soften our approaches to supporting another today?

Yes it's true!

As both parents and professionals we know our neurodiverse Learners need & deserve more individualized support.

AND we know the traditional education system wasn't built on foundations that intend to support them!

So ~ do we continue to endure the conditions...

OR do we look in a new direction for change makers?

Share your experiences below ⏬️ Your story just might support someone else in this diverse experience of life.

Together we can create the change we want to see & feel. 💭📝

Your body already knows the answer to this....

Energy moves with us from the moment we are created...

And the expectations we absorb from our own childhoods & learning journeys do too.

Put those 2 together and I find myself questioning if the way we THINK our children need to learn actually aligns with HOW they could feel when they are learning & growing.

✨️ Energy of our Expectations ~ how can we shift them so our children can Rise & Thrive instead of struggling to survive? ✨️

I'd love to hear what came up first for you!

Honestly I'm so spent from navigating & advocating over the past 6 months, I've been keeping it to myself...

If you're a parent who feels immense frustration watching your child shrink under the words of people who just dont get it ...

I'm with you!

96 hours ago I was ready to rage at my daughter's teacher for the devastation they sparked through her report card.🤬

And today we are sipping up the relief and release of a much needed Break Away ✈️

So for all our ND families who are seeking change in a system that doesn't serve our unique kiddos....

YES - This is a conversation we are going to have !

And YES - You can set aside that piece of paper and raise a glass instead for a moment. (AND the next couple of weeks)

We SEE & KNOW how hard our loved ones have to work to get through their days.

So let's soak up these moments they need right now 🏳️‍🙂‍↕️

Change only happens when we choose it!

And after 25 years of teaching and 18 years of raising a neurodivergent child, I am done with choosing the silent struggle.

If you know, or are, a neurodivergent learner or leader in life, than this conversation is for you!

Our education system was created to to serve society, not the Curious & Creative humans whose systems are built to thrive.

Join me in co-creating the changes our children deserve so they can feel truly Seen ~ Heard & Supported in life.

Well WOW!

I couldn't have envisioned my Well-Being Educator self any better. 💖

While drawing is definitely not my creative strength, creating engaging & empowering experiences for Learners and Leaders is!

So thanks Chat GPT, for being in your zone of genius to show off mine 🤗

I'd love to see you in yours! So create away 👏

So I've got 2 key questions for you!

First ~ When you or your kiddo is feeling overwhelmed by life, what's a trick that works to bring the body back into a sense of calm?

Let's share to richly support each other ~ because damn life feels like alot to carry on our own right now AND it's fun to learn something new. 🔎

Second ~ Christmas Lights ~ Up till next month or Down today? I know Christmas is long done, but anything to lighten up life right now feels good.

Thanks for the support 🤗

Feeling overwhelmed by the world right now?

These kids know the perfect solution ✨️

Take a walk in the woods, no matter the weather,
And let your body and mind move through the elements.

Its amazing the magic nature holds for our spirits. 🌱🌧🙏

Seriously Vancouver, days like these make it easier to plug in and recharge! Even a 9 min

If you could receive the perfect DM ~ What would it say?

In 25 + years of teaching, this might just be mine. 💓 A simple share of family dinner conversation...
One that shook my heart and affirmed I was living my purpose.

💌

S~ "Dad, are you still on strata because I want them to approve us building a treehouse in the backyard?" 

Dad ~ "Sorry, I'm not on strata council anymore but you could still write up your plans to show the strata"

S ~ "It's just that adults don't always listen to kids"

Brother ~ "Meredith listens to kids" 

S ~ "That's true" 

Mum ~
Thanks, Meredith, for making my kids feel heard.

💌

And that was only 1 year in to our 6 year run. The first of many families. So many hearts fulfilled.

And 1 most grateful teacher. 🙏
