Thrivewell Chronicles
The Thrivewell Chronicles is the living archive of our story, a collection of words, images, and conversations that trace the unfolding of Thrivewell. Here you’ll find Kelley’s Letters From the Founder, poetry, novel excerpts, reflective essays, and the Pause & Ponder and Archive Reflections video series. Soon, it will also hold the Root to Light Podcast, weaving together voices, stories, and recovery in motion.
The Chronicles is where the vision of Thrivewell meets the heartbeat of its founder, an evolving space to witness transformation as it happens. What began with the Written Path has now grown into a living archive of words, reflections, and voice. Through her writing, Kelley invites readers into the intimate landscapes of becoming, where creativity and healing meet, where shadows give way to light, and where the act of expression itself becomes a form of recovery.
Alongside the written word, the Pause & Ponder and Archive Reflections video series carry this story forward in real time, offering raw reflections and insights as they unfold. Soon, the Root to Light Podcast will join these pages, expanding the conversation into new voices and shared journeys.
Below are the current works in motion, each a chapter of the unfolding story and a reflection of Thrivewell’s truest roots.
Past Life Love
Past Life Love is the opening chapter of a deeply personal trilogy that blends fiction, recovery, and spiritual transformation. Told through the voice of a Soul Guide, this story follows Susanna, a woman in the first fragile years of sobriety, as she embarks on a retreat that alters the course of her life. There, she meets Henry, a mirror of her own shadows, and Kevin, a quiet undercurrent of stability. What begins as a love story quickly reveals itself to be much more: a journey of self-discovery, surrender, and becoming.
This trilogy unfolds across three stages of the healing journey:
The Awakening – learning to listen inward, face the past, and step onto the path of recovery.
The Becoming – shaping a sanctuary, both inwardly and outwardly, while navigating what it means to live authentically.
The Returning – finding peace at the end of the path, where love, spirit, and purpose converge.
Past Life Love is not just a romance, it is a mirror for anyone who has ever asked themselves who they were, who they are becoming, and who they were always meant to be.
Becoming Light
Becoming Light gathers twenty poems written across the first four years of the founder’s recovery journey. Beginning with the very first poem, penned just two weeks sober, when poetry revealed itself as an unexpected lifeline, this collection traces the unfolding of a new voice, one born of survival, surrender, and the slow return of self.
Each piece reflects a moment on the path: the ache of letting go, the quiet victories of early healing, and the luminous threshold of stepping into a new identity. The final poems emerge from a place of rooted authenticity, written as the author embraced her role as founder, visionary, and whole self.
This is not just a book of poems. It is a map of becoming, of how one woman moved through shadow into light, and how the creative spirit can rise when given the chance to breathe.
Thrivewell Guided Journal
The Thrivewell Guided Journal is more than pages on which to write, it is a sanctuary in book form. Inspired by the founder’s own recovery and transformation journey, this journal offers daily prompts, weekly rituals, and archetype check-ins designed to bring clarity, grounding, and gentle structure to your days. Its playful yet intentional design, echoing the spirit of childhood notebooks, complete with hand-drawn elements and hidden spaces for reflection, invites you to approach self-discovery with curiosity rather than pressure.
Each page is an invitation to pause, realign, and listen inward. Over time, your entries weave together into a story of your own becoming, rooted in rhythm, ritual, and renewal.
The Guided Journal is part of Thrivewell’s growing ecosystem of tools for intentional living. Alongside it, you’ll soon discover companion pieces, sacred objects, scents, and symbols, that extend the journaling experience into the tangible rituals of daily life.
This journal is the first step in that unfolding journey.
