Chapter 1: Yes I’m a young widow, BUT…

There are so many things more interesting about me.

Did you know I had a fiction novel published!?

Did you know, I used to be a radio host & have been told I have a soothing, great voice. Now I host a podcast 😉.

Did you know, I love my family and am close to them, including my two siblings.

I own more than 32 hats 😳.

My friends mean the world to me-as do my two dogs.

I’m a super hard worker and proud to own my own business-medical media storytelling.

I have layers to me. I’m more than just one thing. But I’m also honored to hold one of my many titles as a widow. It means I had a great love, I loved. We had 20 blessed years together.

And now, now I’m more.

Chapter 1: We are doing this together!

Actress Laura Orrico shares her philosophy on what courageous joy means to her and how she embraces it in her life in our August installment of discovering courageous joy.

Her thoughts on this are a reminder that joy isn’t just a fleeting feeling-it’s a choice, a mindset, a way of living boldly even in the face of trauma and challenges. 💛

Stay tuned because in September I sit down with Laura for a special interview of The Game On Glio Podcast.

What does courageous joy means to you-let’s discover together. Drop your thoughts below 👇.

Chapter 1: Day 9 of….working out in different spaces & different places-

Until I reach 40,000 followers!

Infrared pilates @thryve_716 . Regular hot Pilates uses traditional forced-air heaters to warm the room’s air (usually 95–104°F), which then warms your skin. Infrared hot Pilates uses radiant panels to warm your body and tissues directly from the inside out without making the air stuffy & doesn’t raise blood pressure as quickly. Allowing for a steady, slow cardio climb.

I will admit, this was hard. Hot workouts are usually not my favorite, but I enjoyed this. Thryve also offers Lagree pilates as well at slower pace and cool room.

Meeting Allison has been amazing & I’m loving getting to know her. This is part of why I took on this challenge-as a young widow, I’ve been spending a lot of time solo. I’m meeting some great people & hearing some truly touching stories as I make my way around the city.

Welcome Andrea to our Thryve team‼️

A proud Orchard Park resident and mom of four—twins George and Reagan (11), Sadie (9), and Gordy (7)—Andrea’s children are the driving force behind everything she does. Motherhood fuels her purpose and inspires her to live each day with intention.
After losing her husband at a young age, Andrea’s perspective on life shifted profoundly. She now embraces each day fully, using fitness as both a foundation and a source of strength.

What began as a personal outlet during grief became a powerful reminder of resilience, structure, and the body’s ability to carry on.

Andrea has been active her entire life, with a strong athletic background that includes playing Division I lacrosse in college. That experience instilled in her a deep appreciation for discipline, teamwork, and the joy of living an active lifestyle.

She has been in the fitness industry since 2011, starting in New Jersey where she taught at The Bar Method, focusing on small, controlled isometric movements to build long, lean strength. After returning to the Buffalo area and raising her family, Andrea continued her fitness journey locally. In 2017, she began teaching barre and spin at VIBE Cycling Studio, and in 2021, she joined Clique Cycling Studio, where she further developed her love for both cycling and barre instruction.

Andrea is certified in Bar Method and Pilates, and will be Lagree certified in the coming days. She believes fitness is about more than physical appearance—it’s about building a strong mind-body connection and becoming the best version of yourself.

At Thryve, Andrea will be teaching as an Infrared Pilates instructor and Lagree instructor, bringing her passion for movement and connection into every class. Her approach is rooted in gratitude, encouraging clients to appreciate the ability to move and show up for themselves each day.

When she’s not coaching, Andrea is cheering on her kids at their sporting events, taking early morning classes, or spending time with family. She truly believes she was put on this earth to be a mom and to help others feel confident and empowered in their own fitness journeys.

Welcome to the team Andrea!
