Among many other topics, we explore:
Living Through the “Almost Miracles”: How both of Adrienne’s children defied the odds and what it meant to cherish moments of joy, even when the bigger picture looked grim.
Resilience as a Daily Choice: Finding the strength to get out of bed, schedule joy, and stay present even when it’s just for an hour or a cup of coffee.
Raw Grief and Real Healing: Why Adrienne chose to write with honesty, including the missteps, messy moments, and hard truths that accompany deep loss.
The Power of Intentional Moments: From a daughter’s hospital Halloween party to a son’s decision to pursue college, Adrienne shares how focusing on what’s beautiful can anchor us through stormy seasons.
Humor, Ritual, and Celebration: Adrienne talks about using laughter, birthday traditions, and intentional acts of remembrance to stay connected with her children after their passing.
Hope Beyond This Realm: Why Adrienne believes in the afterlife, and how that belief gives her strength and purpose in continuing to be a mother, storyteller, and guide.
Join us for this profoundly moving conversation about choosing to live, love, and lead with purpose (even after loss) and why Adrienne’s story is one of triumph, not tragedy.
