My loving mother Michele Evgenikos
Will always be my shining star...
I am everything I am today because of my sweet, beautiful mom. Although our life wasn’t easy, she raised me and my sister like a ray of sunshine - filled with laughter, smiles, and unconditional love. From her butterfly kisses that made me giggle as a child to the moments spent gardening, going for walks in the park, cooking, creating fun things, and simply being together, she taught me the power of presence and mindful living.
My mom believed in caring for your body and mind, loving deeply, laughing often, and showing up fully for others. She was creative, generous, and always the light in every room. As a hardworking single mom, she showed me that with intention, kindness, and belief in yourself, anything is possible.
Thrive Well is her legacy, rooted in love, mindfulness, and the belief that when you care for yourself - body, mind, and spirit - you can live fully, age vibrantly, and become your very best self. I carry her with me in everything I do always. And through Thrive Well, I feel blessed that her light will continue to shine.
My big sister, Antheya
Watches over me...
My big sis, Antheya, has always been my protector, my guide, and the one who watches over me with the love and care of a second mother even though we are only a couple of years apart in age. She carries strength, determination, and a powerful presence, always putting others first with immense attention to detail and a selflessness that is truly rare. Other than my mom, she is the most beautiful person I’ve ever known, with a heart bigger than anyone I’ve ever met.
Although I remember having our little moments of disagreements when we were young, like most kids do, I now realize that the bond we share as sisters is unlike any other. Today, she is not only my sister but my best friend and a constant source of love, guidance, and unwavering support Today, she is not only my sister but my best friend and a constant source of love, guidance, and unwavering support.
Through her own life’s challenges, she has shown me resilience, perseverance, and strength, inspiring me to always strive to be the best version of myself. She motivates me to live fully and pursue my goals with grace.
I’m beyond proud to say that Thrive Well reflects her spirit to live with intention, care deeply, and embrace life with love, strength, purpose, and joy!
