Casey James is the founder of Thryve, a community-driven resource for modern women in motherhood. Casey facilitates mothers to embrace their expanded identity through quarterly gatherings and one-on-one coaching. Started as a blog in 2018, Thryve has evolved into a space which connects like-minded women with experts within the motherhood, professional and wellness space. She also provides Brand and Marketing support for professional mothers and women-owned businesses. Casey speaks about ideas that lead to a strong sense of Self, supporting empowerment, and finding mindful moments in our busy day-to-day lives as mothers. Her own personal journey as a mother of two who transitioned into a new role as a mother, while continuing to be a purpose-driven professional has led her to where she is today. She encourages women to honour their strong sense of Self, re-define their self-care journey and grow into their new ’title’ as a mother. A former Brand and Marketing Director for a global luxury brand, Casey operated and worked side by side with her family, who owned a luxury retail and hospitality tea concept for 17 years. She achieved her Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Simon Fraser University and lives in West Vancouver, Canada with her husband and two children.
