THRIVE gave Trish Lavender the ability to say ‘good-bye’ to the corporate grind and ‘hello’ to a brand-new life
Like so many people, Trish Lavender first tried the THRIVE Experience because she wanted to feel better. It was December 2016, and “my energy was at an all-time low,” she says.
Lavender, who lives in British Columbia, Canada, had just returned from maternity leave to her position as an executive assistant at an accounting firm. “On top of being a very tired new mom, my marriage wasn’t doing so well, and the job was very mentally demanding,” she says. “Overall, I just wasn’t feeling well.”
Lavender’s friend, a Promoter, encouraged her to try THRIVE.
“It was winter, and normally the weather would make me feel extra dreary,” she remembers. But on Day 3 of taking the product, she started noticing that she had better mental clarity. And on Day 10, things really kicked in. A former dancer who dealt with general aches and discomforts, Lavender says she used to have to grip the handrails of her staircase when she walked down the steps in the morning. But that day, “I ran down the steps to get my son’s bottle ready,” she says. “When I got to the bottom, I realized I hadn’t even touched the handrail. All of my general discomforts had calmed.”
“What’s most important is that I finally feel free.”
Lavender knew she wanted to continue to THRIVE, but she worried about how she would afford the product. That’s when her friend told her how she could THRIVE for free by referring two people. “I knew plenty of people who could benefit from the product, starting with my parents,” she says. And even though Lavender hadn’t planned on becoming a Promoter, she soon discovered she was so good at sharing her THRIVE Experience with others that she decided to continue.
She became a Promoter at the end of January 2017 and hit the 4K VIP rank by the end of March. That same month, she and her husband ended their marriage, and Lavender had the added pressure of worrying about how she would support her son as a single mom. “I was really scared,” she says. But she kept sharing her THRIVE story and things happened quickly. By July of that same year, she’d earned her 12K rank and her Auto Bonus. However, her career was on a rocky path and after switching jobs, she found out that her new position was going to be eliminated. She found herself at a crossroads in her career: “I realized I could get another job, or I could focus solely on THRIVE,” she says. She chose the latter.
“I was at a point in my life where I wanted to have the freedom to get up and make my own schedule and not have my son be in full-time daycare,” she says. “So, I just put my head down and really went for it.”
Although her journey was bumpy at times, Lavender says she and her team members finally hit their stride, and she reached her 40K rank in May of 2019. From there, things accelerated, and Lavender was able to take her son on a long-promised trip to Disneyland that fall. And in April of 2020, she earned the 80K rank.
She has no doubt that she’ll eventually reach the 200K ranking, but Lavender says the rank isn’t that important. “What’s most important is that I finally feel free,” she says. “It’s the best feeling in the world!”
