Ever wonder what’s behind the Thrive! series? This session takes a step back from practice to explore the positive psychology research that shapes everything we do—from Martin Seligman’s PERMA model to the science of gratitude, optimism and resilience. Positive Psychology expert, Jaime Weisberg will unpack why these evidence-based principles work and what the research tells us about building sustainable well-being. Whether you’re new to Thrive! or a regular, this session offers a refresh at the “why” behind the practice—no prior sessions required.
