Hi! I'm Adrienne.

Hey there, Reader! The words you choose are shaping your life. For months, after I left my career three years ago, I told myself I was stuck. I whispered it. I sighed it. I wrote it down in my journal like a fact. And, as mantras do, it became true. I wanted to start a coaching practice, but I was in limbo, waiting for something—anything—to move me forward. I told myself I didn’t know how, that I was trapped in the in-between. Then, one day, I looked up the word. Stuck: (Cambridge Dictionary)...

Hey there, Reader! What if you stopped bending to fit? I spent years mastering the art of becoming what others wanted. A quiet, obedient child. A straight-A student. The partner who compromised. The employee who expanded or shrank as needed. Before I ever truly knew myself, I had already learned how to be loved—on everyone else’s terms. But when you bend yourself enough times, you start to forget your original shape. You wonder: Is this really me? Or just the version that’s most acceptable?...

Hey there, Reader! Let’s talk about success. We all want it, but have you ever stopped to ask yourself: What does success actually mean to me? So many of us are working toward a version of success that might not even reflect what we truly want. By definition, success means “achieving a desired outcome.” But here’s the real question: Are the outcomes you’re striving for really yours or are they someone else’s idea of success? As human beings, we’re always going through life changes. And with...

Hey there, Reader! Last week, I was doing a 45 minute power zone endurance ride with Christine D’Ercole on my Peloton, and she said, “In my world, the shoe always drops.” I nodded and thought, me too. Then, I chided myself for being so pessimistic. I closed my eyes and continued riding, sweat unrelenting and lost myself in the music for a few minutes. But then it hit me—the shoe always drops, in her world, in my world, in your world. That’s not pessimism; it’s reality. The problem is that our...

Hey there, Reader! Let’s talk about the challenge that will change you forever. What’s that one big, bold, scary goal you’ve been too nervous to commit to? The one that feels so massive you don’t even know where to start? That’s your Misogi. Misogi refers to a challenging and unique Japanese tradition that involves the practice of purification. It has expanded beyond traditional practice into the present-day Misogi, a life-changing challenge—a “big, hairy, audacious goal” (to borrow a phrase)...

Hey there, Reader! I hope you’ve been well, rested, and had at least a few moments of peace and joy this holiday season. I know the holidays aren’t always happy, and they don’t have to be, but I do believe it’s important to create moments of what we need. On Christmas Eve, I posted a picture on Instagram of me in my (new!) wearable snowman blanket. The photo was taken while I was being my most ridiculous (and authentic) self, and I felt called to share it. Bringing the joy! The thing that...

Hey there, Reader! The holidays are here, and with them comes the familiar pressure to make everything just right. You know the drill—family traditions, holiday magic, trying to live up to a million “shoulds” to create the perfect season. But here's what I've been learning (and relearning): ✨ Holding on too tightly to what was can keep us from finding joy in what is. ✨ Sometimes we avoid things that feel too painful, thinking it’ll protect us. ✨ Other times, we cling so hard to the past that...

Hey there, Reader! You know those days where everything feels like a dumpster fire? Your to-do list is staring at you, mocking you. You’re stuck, maybe even paralyzed. You want to do something, but your brain is like, “Nope, not today, friend.” Here’s the truth: doing something is what leads to doing something. Let me tell you about my ritual for those crap days when I don’t want to do a single productive thing: I go for a walk.Rain, shine, snow, or soul-crushing humidity, I walk. No, I’m not...

Hey there, Reader! What if, just for a second, you stopped spinning your wheels and actually got clear on what’s next? Not tomorrow. Not next year. THIS SATURDAY. Here’s the deal: On December 7 at 8:00 AM PST, I’m hosting a live workshop: Your Next Right Step: Journaling for Calm, Confidence, & Clarity Because it’s Cyber Monday, there’s a juicy twist: buy one ticket, get one free. That means you can bring your bestie, your partner, or someone else who needs this just as much as you. Here’s...
