Hi! I'm Adrienne.

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...

Hey there, Reader! Let’s get real for a second. You’ve been through it. Life’s thrown you curveballs you didn’t ask for—loss, change, maybe even heartbreak. It’s left you feeling like you’re stuck in a loop you can’t quite break free from. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve started to wonder if this is it. But then, there’s that whisper. “There’s more for me.” More joy. More strength. More you. And here’s what I want you to know: That whisper? It’s not lying to you. It’s not false hope. It’s the...

Hey there, Reader! I’ve been asked this question three times just this week. Three times! Sure, the wording was a bit different each time, but the heart of it stayed the same. And with the holiday season coming up—when we all feel the tug of joy and connection—you might be wondering the exact same thing: 👉 how do i find joy in life again after going through hard times? First of all, if you're wondering this, take a deep breath and give yourself a big, compassionate hug. Life’s tough moments...

Hey there, Reader! As we wrap up 2024 (58 days left in the year 🫣), I’ve been reflecting on everything we’ve tackled together this year. Life can hit hard, and I know how important it is to have the right support when it does. To make sure I'm creating resources, tools, and content that resonate with where you are right now, I’ve put together a quick survey. This is your chance to let me know what matters most to you, where you feel stuck, and what you’d like to learn or experience in the...
