The Thrive Circle

Being a small business owner is often a solo journey — but it doesn't have to be a lonely one.

In business, we often talk about margins, marketing, and growth. We rarely talk about the person carrying it all. The Thrive Circle is here to create conversations around mental health.

Hosted in collaboration with Canada Life, this is an intimate two-hour evening designed for entrepreneurs to step away from the grind and into a room where honesty is welcome, struggle is normal, and connection is the point.

With only 30 seats, every person in the room is there on purpose — and so are you.

The Evening's Flow

The Story — A personal, unfiltered account from a fellow founder on navigating the highs and lows of business ownership.

The Conversation — An open, facilitated Q&A to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with people who genuinely get it.

The Insights — Practitioners share grounded, practical mental health perspectives you can bring back to yourself and your workplace.

The Support — An overview of Canada Life's mental health benefits and what's available to you and your team as a small business owner.
