THRIVE! Personal Journey

Does this sound like you...?

You’re doing your best to keep up — but it’s a lot. Some days you wake up already tired, your mind racing before your feet hit the floor. You’re showing up for your job, your family, your business, your community — but underneath it all, you could be feeling:

Drained — like you’re pouring from an empty cup.
Scattered — focus and concentration are harder to find.
Disconnected — from your joy, your center, your self.
Overwhelmed — life is moving faster than you can process.
Afraid — of dropping the ball or being seen as less than capable.
Alone — like no one really sees what you’re carrying.
Guilty — for needing time to recharge, or being unable to handle it all.
Numb — or on edge… sometimes both at the same time.

It’s not you. The world is asking a lot from us. But somewhere beneath the noise, the to-do lists, and the incessant demands in our lives; there's this quiet place within us longing for something different--ready for something that can hold space for us, nourish us, ground us, give us time to pause, breathe, recharge and reset.

You don’t have to keep pushing through life on empty.
Stress and survival mode were never meant to be your default.
You deserve tools that actually help you navigate life’s demands and bring your best self to meet them.
You deserve space to pause, breathe, reassess, and realign to who you really are, authentically--without the noise.

And most of all — you deserve to remember that you matter. Here...you matter.

This is where THRIVE! begins.
An 8-week journey designed to help you reset, renew, and rise into a healthier, fulfilled, and more empowered you.

At its core, THRIVE! is about:

Nourishing your well-being with practices that help you feel steady, centered, and whole.

Grounding your daily life with tools that bring calm and clarity into moments of stress.

Uplifting your spirit by rediscovering joy, purpose, and connection.

Flourishing in every space you show up—whether that’s at work, at home, in business or in your community.

You’ll learn simple yet powerful practices rooted in mindfulness, resilience, and emotional intelligence—woven together in a way that feels accessible, authentic, and deeply supportive. Over time, these become more than techniques; they become part of who you are.

THRIVE! is your invitation to show up as your best self—refreshed, empowered, and ready to live with more peace and presence in every part of your life.

Over 8 weeks, THRIVE! will give you a safe, nourishing space to slow down, reset, and grow stronger from the inside out. Each week builds on the last, weaving together mindfulness, resilience, and practical self-care so the changes actually last.

Here’s what you’ll receive:

Weekly live virtual sessions (75 minutes) — interactive circles where we learn, reflect, and practice together
Simple, evidence-based tools you can use right away — from calming breath practices to stress reset techniques that work in real time
Guided audios and reflection prompts to help you integrate what you’ve learned into your daily rhythm
Intentional practices to restore your energy, focus, and emotional balance
Your Radical Self-Care Toolkit — a collection of strategies and resources tailored to support your well-being
Your own Resilience Plan — practical steps to help you feel more grounded and capable, even when life feels full
A 30-Day Empowerment Challenge — a gentle push to turn insights into habits that truly stick
Community connection — a supportive circle of people walking this journey alongside you, so you don’t have to do it alone

By the end of 8 weeks, you’ll not only have new insights—you’ll have a set of nourishing practices and a supportive foundation to carry forward into every part of your life.

Why THRIVE! Works

Most programs give you quick tips or a burst of inspiration, but real life makes it hard to keep them going. THRIVE! is different. It’s designed to give you more than ideas—it gives you practices, support, and community so the changes actually last. Each week you’ll return to simple, nourishing tools that help you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded. Over time, those practices become part of your daily rhythm, so you’re not just learning to cope—you’re building a way of living where you can truly flourish.

Meet the Facilitator

Hi, I’m Valerie McCloud—founder of Foxfire Consulting and the creator of THRIVE!

For over 14 years, I’ve walked alongside leaders, teams, and everyday people who are navigating change, stress, and the pressure of modern life. And what I’ve seen again and again is this: people were being left behind--without the real suppport they needed.

People need simple, nourishing practices they can lean on when life feels like too much. They need space to breathe, to feel seen, and to remember they’re not alone. That’s why I created THRIVE.

I’m a certified change management practitioner, and have certifications in resilience, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. I'm also a certified yoga teacher and coach. But beyond the certifications, I’m someone who believes deeply that people want to do better. They want to lead better lives. They just need to know how. My role is to make that “how” simple, practical, and uplifting.

Outside of my work, you’ll often find me teaching yoga, hiking in nature, dancing whenever the mood strikes, or treasure-hunting in consignment shops (my happy place!). I believe life is meant to be lived with joy and authenticity, and that when we bring more calm, clarity, and compassion into our daily lives, it ripples out—to our work, our families, our communities, and beyond.

My hope is that THRIVE! gives you exactly that: the tools, the support, and the encouragement to show up as your best self—in every space you walk into.
