Sharing this video because hearing my boys yelling “Mom!!” during graduation and seeing my son snapping pics with his little camera was the sweetest gift I could have ever asked for. 💕🎓

In Shine Thomas’s commencement speech at , she spoke about living in alignment with your values across all areas of life: work, community, and home.

Reflecting on my own top values—Community, Empowerment, and Encouragement and Shine’s powerful message, I’d love to offer the following:

🗣️ For schools, companies, or organizations: I’m happy to share my TED talk on Positive Psychology and the THRIVE Framework- reach out and let’s find a time that works!

🤰🏾 Expecting moms or partners: Email me at [email protected] for FREE access to the capstone version of my Positive Childbirth Course for the rest of 2024. Feedback from participants will help shape the 2025 release!

This week, I am officially done with my master’s in Positive Psychology.

I will genuinely miss the weekly assignments, digging into data, and the constant reminders of:
🌟The joy that comes from helping others
🌟The importance of living in alignment with our values and discovering our passions
🌟The health benefits of mindfulness practices and expressing gratitude

Before this degree, I was living mostly in the left side of my engineering brain. This program helped me dust off the right side and lean into creativity by:
🤎Launching the free Life & Labor bi-monthly women’s meetup I’d been dreaming of, with the course giving me the push to go for it
🤎Creating the THRIVE framework, which helps others intentionally focus on their Thoughts, Habits, Relationships, Instincts, Values, and Environments (pic 1)
🤎Delivering a timely TED talk on the power of the THRIVE framework—even in tough times—to an incredible and gracious audience at Boeing’s auditorium
🤎Designing and launching the Positive Childbirth Course, with over 34 individuals, mostly Boeing teammates, signing up! (pic 2 & 3 course results!)

Knowing I’d miss this journey when it ended, I took a leap and signed up for a program with to become an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified coach. I’m so excited to share more about that soon!

I’m deeply thankful for:
- Indiana Wesleyan University for their flexible program, which allowed me to balance being a working mother, wife, and student
- The Boeing Company for supporting my passion and encouraging me to share this goodness with my coworkers
-My husband, John Auble , for holding down the fort and encouraging me to embrace uncomfortable (but rewarding) growth
-Everyone who encouraged, supported, and cheered me on along the way—thank you!

The Positive Childbirth Course is LIVE! 🤎

It felt so good to get the course that I’ve been dreaming up out of my head and into the world!

As exciting as it was, it was also very uncomfortable to step into a world very different than my day to day. I’m so thankful for the coaches, my classmates, my schoolwork, and my husband that helped push me beyond the discomfort and into this product I feel so proud of. 😍

Can’t wait to share the T.H.R.I.V.E. Framework with you all! 🤎

🌟 Since I’ve started this journey, I’ve been asked many times: What is Positive Psychology? 🌟

🔍 Before the late 1990s: Psychology primarily focused on disorders and disease with a focus on what was wrong with a person.

💡 Enter Dr. Martin Seligman: As president of the APA in 1998, he challenged the psychology world to think differently. He asked: What makes life worth living? This sparked the birth of Positive Psychology.

📈 Since then: Research on positive emotions, gratitude, strengths, and other aspects of well-being has grown exponentially, all aimed at helping humans not just survive, but thrive.

☀️ 🌈But don’t be fooled: Positive Psychology isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It acknowledges that life can be tough and beautiful, emphasizing how our thoughts deeply influence how we navigate it all.

Curious to learn more? Let me know what questions you have! ✨

To finish up my master’s in Positive Psychology at Indiana Wesleyan University, I’m creating a Positive Childbirth course that blends mindfulness with positive psychology techniques.

📅 Course Details:
-Timing: October time frame
-Duration: ~3 weeks, at your own pace
-Format: Weekly check-ins to support your journey
-Cost: Free! I only ask for your feedback before and after the course
