The Story of Planning to Thrive
Let me introduce myself…
My name is Christina. I’m a Christian, wife, mother of 2 boys and a dog, business owner, and active church member located in Charlottesville, VA.
While pregnant with my first, my husband and I went through a year of trials and tribulations. After having my first, we faced more hardships, new careers, post-partum, and a slew of little hiccups in our plans. It was at this low that we took time to pray and refocus our plans to be in alignment with His plans.
My biggest struggle was balance. I was struggling to feel like I was showing up where I needed to be 100% and still having energy to be 100% in the areas I wanted to be. I needed help. I fasted and went on a prayer walk. We turned it over to God. I immediately felt the weights of the world lift and clarity seep into every aspect of our lives. I knew I wasn’t alone because of God’s grace, and I knew I wasn’t the only woman of God struggling to find this balance in the hustle of today’s world.
It was there that Planning to Thrive was born. I wanted to thrive in my marriage, motherhood, business and most importantly in continuing to grow in my faith, but I needed to simplify it all. With God’s idea, I created a planner to help me do it all while focusing on my purpose in Christ.
I pray this planner and Planning to Thrive products help you find organization and peace alongside growth and a deeper faith in God. May they be a resource to bring peace and praise to your day.
God’s Love & Mine,
Christina
