About The Rising Muse & Thrive Podcast

Our Story

Founded in 2009 by Natividad Matos, MS, The Rising Muse, LLC began as a mission to create spaces where healing, self-awareness, and personal growth could flourish. Over the last decade and a half, that mission has evolved into a powerhouse multi-platform media network. Today, The Rising Muse is the proud production home of the Thrive Podcast—a premier mental health and emotional wellness broadcast that bridges the gap between evidence-based clinical psychology and faith-rooted recovery.

Through our weekly blog insights, continuous terrestrial radio presence across major markets (including Atlanta), and our expanding digital video network, we specialize in translating heavy, complex psychological principles into practical, life-changing daily habits.
