We had the good fortune of connecting with Ingrid Cortez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ingrid, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
At Think Positive Club, we’re all about empowering individuals and communities to unlock their full potential.We’re a non-profit that’s passionate about creating a ripple effect of kindness and positivity. We do this through community events that bring people together and inspire them to think positively. Plus, we’ve got educational resources, including a research library that’s all about sharing the science behind positive thinking.

Our goal is simple: to help everyone unlock their potential and think positive. We know that our thoughts have the power to shape reality, and we’re on a mission to spread positivity and good vibes. We want to inspire people to believe in themselves, their abilities, and their worth.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Think Positive Club is my passion project, born from my personal journey with the transformative power of positive thinking. During college, I discovered the life-changing impact of positive thinking and began sharing it with others. Although some thought I was too “radical” or “annoyingly positive,” I didn’t let that stop me!

Fast forward to my career in the non-profit sector, where I worked as an educator. I realized that I could create my own non-profit and share my passion for positive thinking with the world! In 2024, I founded Think Positive Club! Our mission is to spread positivity, build community, and provide resources for personal growth.

What sets us apart? We’re all about making positivity accessible and fun for everyone! We believe that everyone deserves to live their best life, and we’re here to empower them with the tools and mindset to make it happen!I’m beyond proud of the community we’ve built and the lives we’ve touched. Seeing people transform their lives through positive thinking is truly rewarding!

Of course, it hasn’t been easy. But I’ve learned to stay positive, be adaptable, and surround myself with good vibes and supportive people!

The biggest lesson I’ve learned? Positivity is a choice, and it’s contagious! By choosing to focus on the positive, we can create a ripple effect that inspires others to do the same!

So, what do I want the world to know about Think Positive Club? We’re not just a non-profit – we’re a movement! We’re on a mission to spread positivity, kindness, and compassion, and we invite everyone to join the club!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When my best friend comes to visit, we always plan ahead to make the most of our time together. Colorado has so many beautiful spots, and I love showing her around.

First, we’d start with coffee at one of my favorite coffee shop in Colorado Springs. Then, we’d enjoy a happy hour spot in downtown Colorado Springs, like Zocolo or The Warehouse.

We always take a trip to Denver and explore the amazing immersive art experience at Meow Wolf. And a trip to the natural hot springs is a must!

But our favorite things to do together is EAT! We love trying out local eats and finding the best happy hours spots for good food.

Of course, no trip to Colorado would be complete without some outdoor adventure. We’d go hiking in the beautiful mountains, visit the Rita the Wooden Troll, and enjoy dinner with a view at the Royal Gorge!
My best friend visits me every year so we always find new places together !

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to give a huge shoutout to Juelz, the amazing owner of Stompin Groundz coffee shop! Juelz has been an instrumental supporter of Think Positive Club, providing a welcoming space for our events and helping us build a community around our mission. She’s more than just a business owner – she’s a true community leader who’s passionate about making a difference. By opening her doors to us, she’s given us a safe space to share our message and connect with like-minded individuals.

Juelz, your kindness and belief in our mission mean the WORLD to me! Thank you for being a shining example of what it means to live with heart and purpose.
