"I Was So Fed Up Starting Over Every Monday - Until I Discovered ThriveTime™"

Are you ready to feel fit, strong, calm, and in control again - and say goodbye to toxic diet culture, forever? This October, I'm inviting just 3 women over 40 to join me in Thrive Academy to make that happen.

"Thrive Academy is the program I wished I'd had" Jessica (46)

As featured in:

I felt desperate.

My clothes felt tight, I was unfit, and I felt really unhealthy. I was tired all the time, constantly worried and overwhelmed with everything I had to get done each day. I felt guilty for working so hard, yet resentful at the same time because I was giving so much and not taking care of myself.

Every week, I found myself going in circles—back to square one. I couldn’t break the cycle of comfort eating at night, restricting myself during the day, and using alcohol as a way to unwind on the weekends...

...and I was a fitness coach. This was my job. I knew exactly what to eat and how to exercise to get fit and healthy, yet I found myself stuck in the same vicious cycle.

I could never seem to stay consistent with my workouts, and it felt like I never had any time for myself. It sometimes felt like I was just here to serve others, leaving little room for my own well-being.

For years, I struggled. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t maintain my fitness and health habits. Life always seemed to get in the way—work, family, feeling too tired, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Even though I desperately wanted to be fit and healthy, I just couldn’t seem to find the time or energy to make it happen.

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I had a big realisation: I had been focusing on all the wrong things. I was trying to build my healthy habits on what I now call 'shaky foundations'. 

How long will this house last?

 Are Your Habits Built on Shaky Ground?

Just like a house, your healthy habits can crumble if the foundations are shaky. Life gets busy, stress piles up, and sticking to healthy routines can feel like an endless battle.

Consistency seems impossible.

I was doing all the "right" things—exercising, eating well, trying to stay on track—but nothing ever seemed to stick. I kept falling off course, and I couldn’t figure out why.

What I didn’t realise at the time was that I was building my healthy habits on shaky foundations—stress, overwhelm, self-doubt, and an all-or-nothing mindset.

Those shaky foundations held me back, no matter how hard I tried. They kept me from being successful and staying consistent.

Are Shaky Foundations Holding YOU Back?

Your health and fitness journey often feels like an endless battle, doesn’t it? You’re trying your hardest to make healthy choices, but life keeps pushing you off track. What’s really happening is that your healthy habits are built on shaky foundations—stress, overwhelm, and negative beliefs that hold you back, even if you don’t realise it

Let’s look at what I mean by shaky foundations:

This house is built on shaky foundations of:

  • Stress
  • Overwhelm
  • No boundaries
  • Loud, negative Inner Critic
  • An 'all-or-nothing' mindset
  • Lack of self-belief


  • Stress: You’re constantly worried about what’s next. You rarely feel present, and your to-do list never seems to end. Life is a constant juggle, and it feels like you're just trying to keep up.
  • Overwhelm: Every day is a blur of responsibilities—work, family, home. You give your time and energy to everyone else, and before you know it, there’s no time left for you. You don’t even know where to start when it comes to putting your health and well-being first.
  • No Boundaries: You’re always the one people turn to. Your kids, your partner, your parents. Everyone seems to need something from you, and you’ve been left feeling drained, with no time or energy to think about your own needs.
  • Lack of Self-Belief: You start with great intentions—“This time, I’m all in, and I’m going to give it my best shot.” But then, something small happens that sets you back, and you start thinking, “What’s the point? I’ll just fail again.”
  • Comfort-eating: You regularly find yourself back on the couch in the evening snacking on biscuits or chocolate, even after you've had dinner and late at night. This makes you feel good temporarily, but you regret it almost immediately.
  • Wine: That glass of wine you pour after a long day is less and less about relaxing, and more about dulling your senses to all the demands placed on you and how you feel about where you are in your life.

The Turning Point: Realising the Key to Change

I knew something had to change. If I kept focusing on the wrong things, I’d continue to go around in circles.

I needed to tackle the real issues that were holding me back — stress, overwhelm, lack of self-belief, and that relentless all-or-nothing mindset. These were the things sabotaging my consistency and keeping me from feeling truly healthy.

The turning point for me came when I realised that getting healthy wasn’t just about exercise or food—it was about creating a strong foundation in my life. Once I focused on managing stress, setting boundaries, and believing in myself again, everything else began to fall into place.

I stopped blaming myself for falling off track and started addressing the deeper issues. I learned that when you fix your foundations, everything else becomes easier — and more sustainable.

That’s when ThriveTime™ was born. 

ThriveTime™: The Simple Solution for Real Change

ThriveTime™ is a simple 30-minute system designed to fit seamlessly into your busy life. It’s about doing what works for you—not forcing yourself to follow rigid rules. You focus on the core areas that create real, lasting change: reducing stress, overcoming overwhelm, and rebuilding self-belief.

It’s based on the same principles that helped me get out of the vicious cycle and build healthy habits that stick.

ThriveTime™ is about reducing stress, overcoming overwhelm, and believing in yourself again, all in just 30 minutes a day.

What I learned through my own journey—and what I now help women like you discover—is that once you fix your foundation, everything else becomes easier. It’s not about perfection or following rigid rules; it’s about building a healthy, sustainable foundation that empowers you to thrive in all areas of your life.

If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and break free from the cycle of stress, overwhelm, and self-doubt, ThriveTime™ is the solution you need.

Thrive Academy builds on these same principles of ThriveTime™—but it takes your transformation to the next level.

While most fitness programs focus on hours in the gym or following restrictive diets, Thrive Academy offers a holistic approach to wellness that works for YOU. It’s about creating a lifestyle that fits your busy life, helping you feel strong, calm, and in control—without the guilt or overwhelm.

Thrive Academy is built for sustainable change, empowering you to thrive, not just survive.

Are YOU Ready to Set Yourself Free from The Frustrating Cycle You're Trapped In? 

You’ve been in that cycle—feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. It’s exhausting, right? But imagine breaking free and waking up every day with energy, confidence, and a sense of calm.

With ThriveTime™, you’ll experience a transformation. In just 30 minutes a day, three times a week, you’ll go from feeling sluggish and unfit to strong, healthy, and energised. Here’s what you’ll experience when you join:

Thrive Academy is the ONLY fitness program that shows you how to 'fix' the shaky foundations that have been holding you  back.

And the remarkable things is... it's all achievable in just 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week!

"Thrive Academy is brilliant!  Workouts are challenging and fun but there is so much more to gain from this online space for mind, body and soul. You'll get amazing support from Jessica, and from the wonderful tribe of like-minded 'Thrivers'.
Being part of the program has made my life so much easier. Stress has reduced and I make more room now for the things that really matter. My health issues have dramatically improved and I have greater energy, strength and agility. I now feel better able to do the things I love like travel, walking, sea swimming and getting out in nature. I work out three times a week and walk almost every day. Being fit and healthy enough to live your best life is everything! Highly recommended!"

"At the start, I struggled with consistency, low energy, and lack of motivation. I felt overwhelmed trying to balance fitness with work and personal responsibilities. I still had a ‘f* it’ mentality if I couldn’t do things perfectly.

The biggest change is just consistency. I'm learning to let go of perfection and do what I can. I want to move, I want to be active, I want to look after my body—and I’ve learnt (still learning) to prioritise that.

I feel calmer, mentally stronger, and a sense of determination. I feel less focused on my body size and shape, and instead building strength and resilience for the future.

Jessica has founded a fabulous group of women who provide so many words of support, kind words and guidance. It’s such a good feeling to not feel alone".

"Joining Thrive Academy was a great decision. I love the convenience and simplicity of it.

I work out 3 times a week in my kitchen. I’ve learned simple tools to deal with stress and calm my thoughts. By sticking to the process of Physical Activity, Accountability, Hydration, Mental Health and Self Care, I have grown healthy, happy habits by committing to simple daily actions. There’s no weighing scales, no ‘bad’ foods and yet over the past 10 months my favourite dresses fit with ease.

Although the Coaching is online, there’s nothing remote about it. I really feel part of the group in the WhatsApp and the checkin calls. We can all relate to each other’s struggles- there’s no judgement, only support- and joy for our wins.

Thrive Academy is a game changer for me"

"I never thought I could be a morning exercise person but I really enjoy it now and feel so good afterwards — such a great feeling. It has given me back my love for being active and working out and the great feeling afterwards despite being utterly tired beforehand. Life is still very busy but I feel I am not coming last for everything anymore and make time for myself — it makes me a better version of myself. I feel more like the old me and enjoy all the movement. It’s very easy to feel safe and looked after here — no judgments, only wonderful support for one another".

This level of attention is what makes Thrive Academy special.

Why Traditional Health Programs Don’t Work for Women Over 40

Traditional fitness and dieting methods aren’t working for women like you. They don’t address the real challenges we face as we get older—like managing stress, finding time for ourselves, and battling the ever-present feeling of being overwhelmed.

Here’s what’s wrong with the typical fitness programs:

  • Diets Don’t Work: Calorie counting, cutting out entire food groups, and obsessing over every bite might seem effective at first, but they don’t get to the root of the problem. These restrictive diets leave you feeling deprived, stressed, and disconnected from your body, often leading to an unhealthy relationship with food. Thrive Academy helps you create sustainable habits that work for your life—without all the restriction and stress.
  • Boring Gym Sessions Aren’t Realistic: Spending hours in the gym isn’t realistic for women who are juggling work, family, and a million other responsibilities. These programs drain your energy, leaving you exhausted, not empowered. Thrive Academy fits into your life with quick, effective 20-minute workouts that leave you feeling energised, not depleted.
  • Tracking, Weighing, and Obsessing Is Exhausting: Constantly tracking every calorie and weighing your food can feel mentally draining, and it takes you out of the moment. When you’re always focused on numbers, you miss out on enjoying life and truly connecting with your body. Thrive Academy helps you break free from the obsession with the scale, so you can focus on how you feel, not what the numbers say.
  • Overly Complicated Health Routines Waste Your Time: Wellness shouldn’t feel like a second job. Trying to piece together complicated, time-consuming routines only adds stress and confusion to your already busy life. Thrive Academy is simple, easy to follow, and designed to fit seamlessly into your day, helping you feel more organised and calm while still achieving your goals.
  • Quick Fixes Don’t Last: The world is full of quick fixes that promise rapid results, but they rarely stick. These fleeting solutions often lead to burnout, frustration, and ultimately, regressing to old habits. Thrive Academy takes a different approach. It’s about building sustainable habits that stick—habits that fit into your life and help you feel confident and empowered for the long term. No more yo-yo dieting, no more temporary fixes.
  • 100-Client Cap: Personalised Attention for Real Results
    Unlike programs with tens of thousands of clients, Thrive Academy intentionally limits the number of members to 100. This allows me to offer personalized, one-on-one attention, ensuring that each woman receives the care and support she deserves. Larger programs can’t provide this level of individualised focus, which is why Thrive Academy is different—your transformation is my priority.
  • One-Size-Fits-All Programs Don’t Work for Women Over 40: Most fitness programs don’t address the unique challenges that come with aging. Whether it’s changes in metabolism, stress, or emotional eating, a generic plan won’t work. Thrive Academy is designed specifically for women over 40. We understand your challenges and provide tailored solutions to help you thrive

Don't Just Take My Word for it! Here’s What Your Fellow Thrivers Are Saying About Thrive Academy...!

”

"You get the feeling from the beginning that you are not alone, there is a wider group of women who feel exactly the same as you. 

I have been surprised and amazed at how easy it has been to be consistent, it’s totally achievable. I have gone from being able to do literally only 1 press up to being able to do multiple sets and am so proud of myself. I highly recommend Jessica’s Thrive Program to anyone who is struggling to make a decision about where to start with getting fit after 40."

- Andrea Kerr

”

Thrive Academy has helped me bring exercise back in to my life, I was so overwhelmed and couldn’t think straight, I found it hard to sit still, but, thanks to Jessica’s support, I created a wonderful morning routine, of a workout, thrive mind, journaling and grounding habit which is helping me be better and do better in all areas of my life. Jessica works really hard to make the program achievable and real for everyone, she keeps me accountable and always knows when I need a gentle nudge after a misstep.
1 and a half years later I can honestly say, it was the best decision. At 48, I’m stronger, more active and more accepting of myself and the many changes that my body has undergone. I can lift weights and do pushups without thought!
Jessica is not only a great fitness coach but also a kind, caring and compassionate coach who’s goal is to help one woman at a time, but she managed to bring an amazing group together and we to do better because she shines a light on the way.

"I’ve been working out with Jessica for the past year, the convenience of being able to work out in my own time from home has been a key to my success on this programme. The support of a group of like minded individuals has really helped me to stay on course. The ready availability of Jessica when things are going tough to help bring me back to task has made such a difference to helping me over the past 12 months. "

Thrive Academy isn't Right for Everyone 

Thrive Academy is designed for women who are ready to stop settling for "just getting by" and instead create a life where they feel fit, calm, and thriving.

However, there are a few things I don’t prioritise, and that’s why it might not be for everyone.

  • No Rigid Meal Plans or Calorie Counting: At Thrive Academy, we don’t believe in restrictive meal plans that only leave you feeling stressed, deprived, or worse—confused. You already know the basics of what’s good for you and what isn’t. Instead, we dig deeper. We’ll work together to uncover why healthy habits haven’t stuck and help you build a sustainable approach to food. This is about enjoying food without guilt, eating in a way that supports your body, and finding balance—not obsessing over calories or weighing yourself every day.
  • The Scale is Not Your Measure of Success: At Thrive Academy, we focus on how you feel—not how much you weigh. The number on the scale doesn’t define you. What matters is feeling strong, confident, and capable of doing the things you love—like slipping into your favourite outfit without hesitation, or hiking with your family because you have the energy to enjoy it. No more hiding from photos or skipping out on social occasions. Progress is about embracing who you are today and where you’re going, not getting stuck on a number.
  • No Extreme, Time-Consuming Workouts: We know you have a busy life. Family, work, responsibilities—there’s always something. Thrive Academy isn’t about squeezing hours of exercise into your schedule. It’s about being efficient, not exhausting. You’ll get effective 30-minute workouts designed to leave you feeling empowered, not drained. Fitness that fits your life, not the other way around. The goal is to be strong, active, and energised, not burnt out from overtraining or unrealistic routines.

Thrive Academy Is For You If You Want To:

  • Build a body that feels as strong as your mind, without sacrificing your time, energy, or happiness.
  • Free yourself from the overwhelm of dieting, finding peace in your choices and confidence in your body.
  • Stop letting stress run your life and instead learn to manage it with tools that keep you grounded and balanced.
  • Wake up feeling energised and excited about the day ahead, not dragging yourself through it.
  • Create a life filled with experiences, not just to-do lists. Whether it’s traveling, hiking, or simply enjoying a moment of quiet, you deserve to be present in your own life.

Then the Thrive Community is where you belong.

We don’t just focus on what to eat or how to exercise; we address the root causes—stress, overwhelm, and the negative beliefs holding you back. This isn’t a quick fix or a fad diet; this is a sustainable, holistic approach that builds real, lasting change from the inside out.

“I don’t have time for a program like this—how can I fit it into my busy life?”

I hear this from so many women, and I understand completely. That’s why Thrive Academy is designed to fit into your life, not take it over. The workouts are short, effective, and fit into your schedule. Plus, we focus on small, manageable mindset practices that take only a few minutes each day. It’s about building consistency, not perfection. You’ll be amazed at how these small steps add up to big changes over time.

“What if I fail again, like I have with other programs?”

The fear of failure is real, and I understand how that feels. But Thrive Academy isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. You won’t be doing this alone. With my support, the Thrive Community, and the right tools in place, you’ll build lasting habits that stick. It’s okay if life gets in the way—what matters is you keep going, and I’ll be here every step of the way to help you stay on track.

“What if I don’t like the program? Is there a 30-day money-back guarantee?”

Absolutely! I want you to feel completely confident in your decision, which is why I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason you’re not satisfied with Thrive Academy, you can get a full refund—no questions asked. I believe in this program, and I want you to have the peace of mind to try it risk-free.

“Is there a long-term contract or commitment?”

Thrive Academy is designed to give you flexibility. While there’s a minimum 12-week term to ensure you get lasting results, there’s no long-term commitment required. After 3 months, you can continue on a month-to-month basis—no pressure, just the support you need to keep going at your pace.

“Do I need fancy equipment to get started?”

Not at all! All you need is a set of basic weights to start, and if you don’t have them, you can use household items like cans of beans or water bottles as a substitute. Thrive Academy is designed to be accessible, and you don’t need to spend money on fancy equipment to get the results you deserve.

"I  waited 5 years before giving this a go. Now I've more energy and I feel fantastic. I can really see the benefit of online training. I no longer worry about my fitness. I used to be so stiff and tired all the time. I'm not dreading the next 'roundy' birthday, I'm going to look forward to the fact that for a "woman of that age" I'm doing all right."

"Im someone who struggled to commit to gyms or other classes regularly – I would attack it like a demon for a month or two but if I’d miss a few sessions I would find it impossible to restart.  Thrive Academy is the only fitness program I’ve ever stuck at long term and that is because its simple to start and it does not take too long out of the day.  Also the regular check ins with Jessica and the support from the group generally keep me accountable.

"Working out from home with Jessica has completely changed my outlook to fitness. It is now part of my day and has become a habit, a good habit -  Not having to pack a bag and travel to the studio makes fitting in home work outs so manageable. There’s huge strength in being part of a “tribe” of busy women, and who best to work out with than other women, all of whom have the same life challenges. For the first time in years, I am feeling fitter - I am feeling stronger - I have more energy and I generally just feel better about myself."

"If you have a bad week Jessica listens and advises. I have been in many slimming groups down through the years only to be given out to when you hadn't lost weight and heaven forbid if you put on a POUND or two!!!  That's what my generation lived with. I am now in my sixties with two grown up children. 

I have never felt more stronger physically - I am lifting weights that I never thought I was able to do. My son got married in June, and I was so delighted to be able to do a lot of “ pulling and lifting”  of stuff that was needed for the wedding venue. Of course this has a knock on effect on one's mental health for the better. I feel so much better after a workout, and it being part of my routine is so good for me."

"I now feel less anxious for the most part and my health has improved. I now feel so much happier and am so aware of where my mental health is at at any given time.

I acknowledge I sometimes fall back in to old habits however all the encouragement from Jessica and tribe get me back on track  At 63. I am probably one of Jessica’s older clients that being said I never in my wildest dreams thought I would workout consistently and lift weights."

"I had the good fortune of coming across Jessica Cooke on Facebook. I loved her story, her material, and especially her honesty about her own struggles with anxiety, self-sabotage, comfort eating, and more. At first, I was afraid to join due to self-limiting beliefs about technology, but my friend Annette reassured me it was easy to navigate, so I joined—and a wonderful new life began.

Jessica has taught me to break the ingrained beliefs that were tattooed onto my brain. I now follow the PAHMS plan every day, and I’m stronger than ever—physically and mentally! I’m kinder to my mind, and I've worked through so much in my life since joining. The Thriver Group is pure love, and we hold each other by the hand every day. If you join, you’re in safe hands with Jessica and the group."

 I noticed I had lost so much weight off my shoulders, which was due to gradually increasing my weights and I was so much fitter. 

I have seen such a change in my body! I have toned up, I can now see my waist and I know I will shift the rest of the belly fat soon. 

I am a breast cancer survivor and I know how important it is to stay fit and healthy, for my family, for me and most importantly for my grandson Charlie.  I am delighted I found Jessica.  

Everyone needs Jessica in their lives!"

'' I have found it easy to cut back on my treats/wine/junk because I actually find I don't crave them as much.
I am learning to journal (a huge struggle at the start) and seeing the huge benefits of having focus back in my days.
I have lost weight but have no clue how much ... my clothes are fitting better and I'm feeling more confident in my own skin. I have attended some marvellous and inspiring online workshops, coffee mornings, live chats that have both inspired AND challenged me.'..ALL OF THIS IN MY OWN HOME. I would never be able to access so much learning, in such an easy way if it wasn't for this group.''

My fitness levels have come right back. My core has really strengthened and I have finally got some muscle tone in my abdomen, badly needed after 2 Cesarean sections. I have a waist!! My sleeping Is way better now. I notice muscle tone on my upper arms and my clothes finally fit me better again. I was even able to wear a pair of jeans I have had in the wardrobe that I have owned for the last 20 years. My energy levels have improved and the most important thing is that I mentally feel better knowing I took some time out of a busy day to do something for just me. "

"I have so much energy, it's unreal! The workout first thing in the morning and a walk at lunchtime are great energy boosters. I am just itching to do another workout. I feel more balanced and relaxed and stopped worrying about things I can't control. And those inches keep dropping slowly but surely which gives me even more motivation!"

"I've lost over a stone naturally.

I better understand my feelings.  I've become more calm and recognise when I need a break. 

I'm still working on my inner voice to be more forgiven to myself and more kind to myself. Just taking them baby steps to be put me first. 

I now have a better bed time and morning routine and priorities my sleep. I choose healthier food choices and I've stopped drinking alcohol. I love going out and just be me without alcohol. The biggest positive change has been to finally put me first and work on improving myself."

"First of all, I actually feel so much more fit and happy in my body. I feel like I’m getting stronger, I actually feel my arms are less flabby looking (yes, the bingo wings are getting addressed). I feel like the post workout pain is much lessened. I could never do a press up and now I can do several in a row. In fact I feel more fit now than I was 10 years ago.

The big changes I have made include really trying to commit to three day a week workouts. Acknowledging that I am a comfort eater, and asking myself “what do you really need” rather than diving into the crisps. Another big change I made is trying to work on my mindset and be 'real' with myself.''

. It’s been life changing all I have overcome in the space of a year and a half. I can deal with life’s challenges so much better. I’m a happier person and love the new me from the inside. Working out for me, creates in my opinion, a really joyful experience, healthy mind healthy body. I no longer use a weighing scale, as long as I feel fit and healthy that’s all that matters."

"Since joining Thrive Academy and with Jessica's guidance, the results to my overall fitness, health and well-being have been amazing. I have lost inches and gone down a dress size, I fit into some of my old clothes again, I'm more energetic and positive and love being part of a group of like-minded people, which helps to keep me motivated and challenged. I look forward to doing the online workouts, the  check-ins and feel amazing (especially on Fridays) having reached my weekly targets."

"I LOVE being a part of this amazing online community. I can safely say that I never thought I would put the words ‘online’ and ‘pleasure’ in the same sentence. Doing the classes at home is really convenient and being able to do them live, is, for me, really
important in terms of accountability. Weekly check-ins with Jessica and other group members along with the different social ‘outings’ have really made me feel like part of a community...
I have a plan, with goals and Jessica supplies the tools, support, and encouragement to keep it up. My fitness levels have improved enormously- I don’t get out of breath as quickly and I’m sleeping better and less tired than I was."

"Physically , my body is more toned and I don't feel sluggish and bloated. My clothes are fitting better too which is a great result.
My big results are my mental health is much better, I feel lighter and my body has toned up. I have come a very long way and this is down to the routine which I have put in place since joining Thrive Academy'. Finally, the way I keep focus is through regular coaching calls with Jessica, the motivational video check ins which are posted on our members group and motivation and from other members. It's always great to tune into the post workout feeling and remember how good it is, this is a great motivator to keep focused."
