YOU'RE TIRED.  As an advocate, it seems like everywhere you turn, professionally and personally, you’re giving to everyone—except yourself. It may feel like your accomplishments no longer reflect or nourish you.

You may be asking: “How am I supposed to make everyday work decisions or career moves when I feel burned out and detached from myself?”

We know it is difficult to focus on self-advocacy when you are constantly second-guessing yourself, reacting to everyone’s needs, or trying to prove your worth, all in the name of success. This is because you are never at rest, even when you are resting.

At Thrive Architects, we believe that thriving is your North Star.

We view SUCCEEDING as meeting institutional systems and other people's expectations to define your personal and professional achievements.

We view THRIVING as being grounded in your belonging, embracing self-acceptance, and feeling truly liberated in who you are as you navigate your career.

Thrive wants you to think differently about approaching your career journey, especially BIPOC women and non-binary individuals. We offer Thrive Coaching and Rest Programs to help organizations prioritize the well-being of their advocates and that advocates themselves are doing the same.

Thrive Coaching

Thrive Architects offers one-on-one executive and career coaching sessions for advocacy professionals who are mid-level in their careers or have transitioned into senior positions at their organizations.

Over the course of our sessions, we will:

  • Explore how your mindset curates your everyday decisions about navigating your work experience and career.
  • Collaborate to unlearn and learn habits and thinking patterns that will strengthen your sense of self-belonging and agency.
  • Work with you to identify the areas where you want to thrive in your career, including a 90-minute grounding session to determine what that means for you.
  • Engage in 60-minute sessions guided by:
  • An agreed-upon action plan with key goals.
  • Reflections and activities grounded in our concepts of physical and mental rest, including liberating rest.
  • Honest, candid, and centering conversations with some good laughs.

Want to thrive? We welcome a conversation.

Thrive Architects offers workshops and programs for organizations and individuals interested in well-being programs that go beyond self-care and physical rest.

At Thrive, we define mental rest as “a liberating form of self-acceptance in which you navigate the world through a conscious understanding of yourself.”

We offer two types of rest programs to support organizations and advocates. No matter the program, our facilitation approach is grounded in honesty and vulnerability through storytelling, creative expression, and reflection exercises. Our conversations encourage advocates to think differently about their interiority, the value of rest, and how rest can enliven each of us.

Rest Workshops

We offer stackable workshops on various topics that explore our rest continuum, ranging from exploring our relationship to physical and mental rest, to setting boundaries, to intentions setting in a space of mental rest. Each workshop ranges from 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the organization’s needs. We also curate workshops upon request that combine two or more topics from the rest continuum.

Journey of Rest Programs

We have created a six-session program for cohorts of 10-15 people to build community while learning about the rest continuum. Each session (except the introductory session) is 75 minutes. Organizations can work with us to host the series for their advocacy professionals. Individuals can sign up on the waitlist to learn when Thrive offers our Journey of Rest programs throughout the year. These sessions can be conducted virtually or in person.

"Thrive Coaching has taught me who I am and what is important to me in the workplace. Through various exercises, I have learned to identify my strengths, establish and maintain appropriate boundaries, and have more confidence in my own decision-making. Since I began Thrive Coaching, my client base has grown dramatically, I am more resilient in managing interpersonal issues, and I am spending more time focused on activities that bring me joy. Feedback from clients has been increasingly positive, and I feel much more calm interacting with friends and family."

Kristen, Lawyer

"Taking one of Thrive’s rest workshops was nothing short of a profound awakening for me. I was seen and understood within those workshop walls. The different exercises and conversations encouraged introspection, connection, and personal evolution. Dana’s approach and facilitation helped me to illuminate my path toward self-compassion and affirmed that seeking space for liberating rest isn't just a choice—it's an act of self-love."
