Small Changes, Big Wins ✨
What if one small change could make all the difference?
What if, this year, you could feel better, work better, live better...
and truly thrive, just by starting small?
Let me tell you a story…
A few weeks ago, my dad turned 83. 🎉
He’s healthy, happy, and full of life, and I truly believe it’s because of one smart decision he made over 25 years ago.
At that time, the odds were stacked against him.
He came dangerously close to having a heart attack...
Stress at work and a family history of heart problems were catching up with him.
Thankfully, he was in good hands when it happened.
He was at work, conveniently in the local hospital, and a skilled cardiologist intervened just in time.
But that wasn’t the turning point.
The real turning point came a little while later,
when I was working on a marketing campaign for Life Fitness. (Stay with me here—it’s all connected!)
I needed mature models, and my budget was…well, non-existent.
So I asked my parents to step in.
They happily agreed, not knowing this would be life-changing.
It was their very first visit to a health club!
My dad was so impressed by the staff, the sense of community, and the equipment (of course, it was Life Fitness 😉) that he decided to join.
And that one smart decision turned into a lifelong habit.
Now, at 83, he still works out three times a week. 💪
But it’s not just about exercise...it’s about thriving through connection.
Over the years, he’s made many friends, knows all the staff by name, and loves catching up with them at the gym café over coffee or tea.
It has even become a highlight for my sons when we visit the Netherlands.
Going to the gym with Granddad? Absolute joy for them! 🎈
Even with his heart condition, my dad has been able to travel, stay active, and live fully.
And I know, deep down, that if he hadn’t been open to show up at that health club all those years ago, his life would look very different today.
It’s a powerful reminder that thriving starts with being open…
and that small changes, done consistently, create big wins over time.
It’s also a reminder of the power of community, connection, and showing up for yourself.
This got me thinking:
What if I created something to help you kickstart those small, meaningful changes…and help you thrive in a supportive community? Would you be open to that?
I’m considering putting together a 7-Day Thrive Challenge, and I’d love your input.
Here’s the idea:
Over 7 days, we’ll focus on small, intentional changes that can help you thrive both professionally and personally. 🌟
You’ll get access to short actionable videos, group coaching sessions, and interactive exercises. 📚
Plus, you'll be part of a thriving community of like-minded people who are ready to grow alongside you. 🤝
My goal is to make this challenge easy to fit into your busy schedule, and I want it to feel affordable, accessible, and truly impactful.
This isn't about piling more on your plate, it's about small, meaningful steps that can make a big difference in your life.
but before I finalise the details, I’d love to hear from you.
Does this sound like something you’d be interested in? Would it add value to you?
Your feedback means the world to me. Just hit reply and let me know your thoughts!
Let’s make this the year where smart decisions, consistent action, and the right community help you thrive fully.
Warmly, Sonja
