Welcome to Thriving Apparel, where fashion converges with purpose and compassion. Leading our movement is Steve, our founder, a survivor of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), a veteran, and a first responder who has triumphed over childhood trauma.

Driven by his own encounters, Steve recognized the imperative to challenge the stigma surrounding trauma and PTSD. Through the inception of @ptsdandthrive, he aimed to extend support and hope to fellow survivors.

Steve's journey of healing and resilience would not have been possible without the unwavering support of three remarkable women in his life. These women, through their strength, compassion, and wisdom, provided him with the foundation and courage needed to overcome his past and thrive in the present. Their influence and love are woven into the very fabric of Thriving Apparel, reminding us all of the profound impact that empathy and support can have on one's path to recovery.

Thriving Apparel emerged as a natural extension of this mission—a platform not only offering stylish attire but also serving as a beacon for support, advice, and motivation for individuals navigating similar journeys.

Our mission is clear—to spread hope, resilience, and empowerment. We invite you to join and together raise awareness, foster support, and empower survivors to reclaim their lives, one step at a time.
