About me

Find Your Footing. Choose Your Path.

We all reach moments when the way forward feels uncertain — a career decision, a life transition, or the search for more purpose and direction. These crossroads can bring stress, doubt, and overthinking, leaving you unsure where to turn next.

That’s where coaching comes in. At Take Root Life Coaching, LLC, I help you pause, sort through the noise, and uncover a path that feels clear and aligned with who you are. You don’t need fixing — you need support to find your footing and confidently choose your next step.

...strength takes many forms, and the most obvious forms are not always the most significant.

— President John F. Kennedy (Amherst, Massachusetts 1963)

Meet Adrienne

I’ve always been someone who felt things deeply. For years, I wrestled with worry, anxious thoughts, and the pressure of needing to “have it all figured out.” I remember asking myself over and over:

Why do I feel stuck? What’s underneath this worry? How can I live differently?

Eventually, I learned to slow down, listen to myself more closely, and rebuild life with clarity and calm. That shift changed how I approach decisions, challenges, and transitions — not by trying to control everything, but by finding steadiness in the middle of uncertainty and aligning choices with what matters most.

These days, I carry that same perspective into my coaching work. And outside of it, you’ll usually find me working out at CrossFit, walking my dogs, hiking in the mountains every chance I get, reading a book and trying hard not to embarrass my teenage kids. It’s those small, grounding moments that remind me what really matters.
