Engage Spotlight: Building Connections Through Wellness

Written by Women In Trucking Staff | Oct 6, 2025 10:00:00 AM

Wellness is important—whether you’re on the road, in the office, or managing a fleet. Members are exploring wellness in Engage, and Tanya Jolliffe, founder of L I T Wellness Solutions, is now leading WIT’s Wellness Networking Group.

How It All Started

Tanya invited members to connect, share ideas, and discuss wellness strategies both on and off the road (view the thread):
 
“Do you have an interest in wellness both in and out of the truck? Do you want to connect, network, and learn about wellness issues with others? If so, a Wellness networking group might be just for you!”
 
The response was enthusiastic, and several members shared their interest right away:
 
  • A member expressed her excitement to join and connect with others.
  • A company founder emphasized how critical wellness is and shared her eagerness to participate.
  • A professional OTR driver asked for ideas on strength conditioning without equipment, sparking a discussion on practical exercises while on the road.
  • Other members offered tips, from bodyweight workouts to apps like FitOn, to help drivers stay active no matter where they are.

Tanya worked with WIT staff, and the networking group was born! This is how all of WIT’s networking groups in WIT Connections operate: members come together around a shared interest, meet virtually, exchange ideas, and grow together in a supportive environment.

Why It Matters

Wellness is more than a personal goal—it’s a community effort. Members in this group are already sharing tips, resources, and encouragement, showing how networking groups help build relationships, provide accountability, and create meaningful opportunities for learning and support.
