Why we started ThirdSpace
We believe people grow best together, not alone.
ThirdSpace started with a simple truth: meaningful change happens more easily when we do it together. We set out to build a supportive community where people know your name, care how you’re really doing, and help you keep going when it gets hard. A place to feel safe, motivated, and genuinely connected while you work on the goals that matter most to you.
Our vision is to become the world’s most trusted space for personal growth: a “third space” beyond work and home, where anyone, anywhere can feel supported, stay accountable, and build a life they’re proud of, together.
