Hi, my name is Kyrie Mahnke. Before I share my Thrive 8 week experience, I’d like to give some back ground about me, I have been dealing with moodiness and just feeling unbalanced for the most part. I sometimes would feel on edge, angry, about to cry at any moment or sometimes happy. In my early 20’s I was told I would never have a child due to my abnormal uterus. Growing up I had many dreams of what I would want to be. The careers I would dream of had always been off the wall or out of reach. The one dream that began to stand out more than any other was to be a mother. Being told for nearly 10 years that I could not have a child of my own, I started to believe it. The day I found out I was pregnant was a highly emotional one. I was filled with more fear than I have ever felt. Fear for having a being inside me who could not survive because of me and my inability to provide. My boyfriend and I came to the decision to let the miracle we were given to grow. That decision in itself gave me the most hopeful wonderful feeling. The pregnancy was considered high risk which was trying, and exhausting to constantly be careful and not do too much, and be easy to my body. As expected I was rushed to the emergency room and was kept overnight for observation. The next morning I was taken for an emergency Cesarean. Our daughter was born at 4 pounds 5 ounces. Having a premature baby kept in the NICU was the most emotionally breaking experience of my life. Every day that I had to walk out of her room and leave her, broke me down even more. I got more and more emotionally down. For two weeks I continued to fall down in a deeper hole. Once we were able to take her home, I was elated. But my joy only lasted for so long. I found myself snapping back to the old self. Like no matter how happy I could be, it was just set to a timer and when my time was up, I was sent back to darkness. In May my friend Tori introduce me to Thrive. She went on about the energy she had, and her attitude spoke volumes about what she was saying. It was the ability to stay at home with my daughter and bring home income that had my interest since my boyfriend and I were having a hard time getting along. He was always gone working and trying to get his business going. I was frustrated feeling like I was alone. Day one on Thrive, I felt like I had slept for years. I had energy to do daily tasks that were so hard for me to do without Thrive. I played with my daughter all day long. I felt alive. I felt better than ever. That was enough for me to realize I needed to get more. I needed Thrive to be the mother I had always wanted to be. The day I had my boyfriend try Thrive was in the middle of haying season, he had been having back, shoulder and arm discomfort, but once he took thrive, by mid day he called me saying his discomfort was gone. That just confirmed that we needed Thrive in our lives. Thrive has given me my life back, clarity to know how I feel and not be ruled by my emotions. Thrive allowed me to start living my dream. I could never be more grateful .
