Hey everyone 💜 This community was built on something I believe deeply. Women over 40 deserve better than generic advice and quick fixes. And that will never change. Wellness has truly become one of my greatest passions and sharing it with other women brings me so much joy. I've loved this Skool community but I've found that the most meaningful connections happen one on one and through social media and that's where I'm choosing to focus my energy going forward. I'm closing this group but I'm absolutely not stepping away. I know what it feels like to be lost, to not recognize yourself, and to wonder if feeling good is even possible anymore. I found my way back through strength training, learning to nourish my body, and shifting my mindset. I lost 55 pounds, built real muscle, and gained a confidence I never expected. But more than the number on the scale, I finally felt like myself again. That journey is exactly why I'm so passionate about helping other women feel healthy, strong, and confident in this season of life. I'm truly grateful for each of you who joined and shared your wellness journey here. Please continue to share with us and I hope you'll follow along! You can still find me and stay connected: 🌐 Website: www.thriveplus40.com 📸 Instagram: @thriveplus40 Keep showing up for yourself. Keep thriving. 💜 — Brenda

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here 🤍 Thrive+40 is a supportive space for women over 40 who want to feel strong, steady, and confident again. You don’t need to be perfect or “on track” to be here. You just need to start where you are. WHY THRIVE+40 EXISTS Thrive+40 was created because women over 40 were never meant to fight their bodies. As our bodies change—energy, hormones, recovery—many plans stop working. Too often, women are told to “try harder” or go back to what worked years ago. Thrive+40 offers a different path. This is a strength-first, shame-free space focused on: • Nourishing nutrition • Sustainable movement • Mindset shifts that actually work after 40 Here, progress matters more than perfection. Consistency is built through support — not willpower. Thrive+40 isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about becoming strong, grounded, and aligned with who you are now. WHAT TO DO FIRST When you’re ready: 1) Introduce yourself (share as much or as little as you want) 2) Explore the Classroom 3) Join posts or check-ins — even one word counts BEFORE YOU GO You belong here. You’re not behind. We’ll build this together 💜 — Brenda
