Chiedozie is under the intentional supervision of THRIVE's founder Taran McGowen, LPC-S. 

 Professionally, Chiedozie is a purposeful leader with 10+ years of consulting, strategy, & product experience across various industries.

Chiedozie is an empathetic straight shooter, who believes in people potential, people development, and putting his clients first.

Chiedozie is also a certified life coach with experience supporting clients who are facing challenges in their personal, professional, or romantic life. His podcast, “I Think I Love My Wife” explores the inner workings, struggles, challenges, and beauty of being in a relationship and getting married, through the lens of married men, while providing a platform where people can learn from stories that highlight the mental burdens that stem from societal pressures, generational curses, gender related norms, and personal expectations.

Chiedozie’s primary goal is to be a thought partner and create a safe space to help clients turn mindfulness into action to get closer to their dreams and the life they want. He has a deep affinity for working with and supporting people from all backgrounds, as well as a history of advocating for young professionals, people of color, and people seeking healthy relationships. Chiedozie leverages different therapeutic techniques to help individuals deepen one’s understanding of self, identify critical barriers, reprogram internal thinking, develop strategic plans, and address personal struggles in order to evolve into the person they desire to be.

Family is core to Chiedozie’s foundation and, when he is not spending time with friends and loved ones, he can be found cycling, playing golf, traveling, watching sports, trying new restaurants, serving through his non-profit (From A Tither), or jogging with his Aussiedoodle, Yaji.
