At Thrive Detroit, we believe stories change lives—and The Women by Kristin Hannah is a powerful reminder of the voices history tried to silence. 🇺🇸📚 In our latest book review, we reflect on the Vietnam War through the eyes of fictional nurse Frances “Frankie” McGrath, whose experience echoes the real, raw pain and resilience of thousands of women who were there—despite being told they weren’t.

From the battlefield to PTSD, friendship to forgotten sacrifice, this novel gives long-overdue honor to unsung heroes.

An emergency fund is your personal financial safety net. 🚨 Start small—aim for $500, then build up to 3–6 months of expenses. Put it in a separate savings account so you're not tempted to dip in for non-emergencies. Contribute regularly, even if it’s just $10/week.

Unexpected car repairs or medical bills won’t derail your life when you're prepared. Peace of mind is priceless. 💚

“Time Tells” reminds us that love is in the doing—the brunches, the video calls, the quiet prayers. 🙏💬 At Thrive Detroit, we believe storytelling is a form of healing, and this piece beautifully captures that moment when you realize that time is the most precious gift you’ll ever give someone. It’s also a powerful reminder: memory may fade, but love endures.

Let’s stop taking the present for granted.

Ever wonder where your money goes? 🤔 Without a budget, it’s easy to lose track. Budgeting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about freedom. It helps reduce stress, prevent overspending, and guide you toward goals like paying off debt, saving for a home, or taking that dream vacation.

A budget gives every dollar a purpose. It’s your money map! 🗺️✨

Setting a budget doesn’t mean cutting out all the fun—it means taking control of your money so it works for you. 🧠💵 Start by tracking your income and expenses. List out your must-haves (rent, groceries) and your wants (streaming, eating out). Use the 50/30/20 rule: 50% for needs, 30% for wants, 20% for savings.

Review and tweak monthly to stay aligned with your goals. Consistency is key to financial confidence!

Remember scratched records? That moment when the needle gets stuck and a song repeats over and over until someone helps it move forward? That’s what life can feel like when we start strong in January, only to stall out by March. 🎯

In our latest Thrive Detroit blog, we reflect on the rhythm of our goals, the resistance we all face, and the beauty of shifting from quick 45s to full albums—aka, taking the long view. Whether it’s creating micro habits, rethinking expectations, or just standing on one foot while brushing your teeth 🦷🦶🏽, it’s about progress, not pressure.

So here we are again, not stuck—but checking in. Let's March on. 💪🏽

What happens when ambition, class, and one morally murky decision collide? In Kiley Reid’s Come and Get It, everything. 💣

Our latest review at Thrive Detroit breaks down Reid’s razor-sharp exploration of dorm life at the University of Arkansas—and the complicated power dynamics between Millie, a driven student and RA, and Agatha, a visiting professor with her own blurred boundaries. Reid turns everyday interactions into masterclasses on money, race, and social ambition. 💼✨

From “practice paychecks” to reckless impulse buys at Target, this novel shows how consumer culture and financial status can shape who we become—or who we pretend to be.

If you’re into layered characters, moral gray zones, and juicy cultural critique, Come and Get It is calling. 📣

What does it mean to serve, sacrifice, and be forgotten? In our new review at Thrive Detroit, we reflect on The Women by Kristin Hannah, a novel that pulls back the curtain on the untold stories of women in Vietnam. 💥

Frankie McGrath’s journey from a sheltered Navy daughter to a hardened combat nurse is both heartbreaking and empowering. From holding dying soldiers' hands in the jungle to fighting a battle for recognition at home, her story reveals the raw, unfiltered cost of war. The trauma. The denial. The unbreakable bonds of sisterhood. 🕊️

Kristin Hannah gives voice to the women who were told they weren’t really there. But through every page, we hear them loud and clear: We were there. We mattered. 💪

Don't miss this unforgettable novel—and our take on why it resonates so deeply today.
