ADELE CURRIN
I don't just teach this. I've lived it.
I've been the person sitting with quiet dissatisfaction, caring too much to act, and staying stuck long past the point I knew something needed to change. Getting to the other side of that — and building a life that actually feels like mine — is what brought me to this work.
My Story
I know what it costs to stay stuck.
Ever since I started watching Oprah in my parents' living room in middle school, I've been drawn to the deeper questions — what makes people tick, what drives real change, what it means to live honestly and build a life that's genuinely yours. That curiosity has been the throughline of my entire life.
And yet, knowing all of that didn't make it easy. For a long time I was a stay-at-home mom, deeply invested in my family but quietly disconnected from myself. Not because I didn't know better — but because I cared too much about doing the right thing for everyone around me to act on what I knew. That tension, between self-awareness and actually changing, is something I understand intimately. It's exactly where most of my clients live too.
Getting honest with myself, making excruciating decisions, and coming out the other side took everything I had. But today I have a life that actually feels like the one I was meant to live — not because everything around me changed, but because I did. I make conscious choices based on my true values now, rather than simply going along with the life that happened by default. That's the real shift — and it's exactly what I help my clients find.
A Note on People-Pleasing
I'm a recovering people pleaser. My biggest fear has always been being judged — and rejected. But I've come to understand that people-pleasing isn't who I am — it's a learned behavior that kept me feeling safe. I work on it every day, because I want more out of life than that. And if you're reading this, I think you do too.
A Little More About Me
RN — REGISTERED NURSE
My clinical background gave me a foundation in listening and being present with people in hard moments — and taught me early on that I needed to find work that felt more like ME. (Flunking my bed-making skills lab in school was a sign!)
ALWAYS GROWING
I'm a recent empty nester and mom of two young adults. I started a new relationship in my 50’s. I have my own therapists and coaches, and I've meditated almost every day for 15 years — because growth is incredibly important to me.
BODY & MIND
I've run three marathons — including Boston — and have been weightlifting since the 90s. I’m into eating to fuel my body. I’m fully on board with hormone replacement. I believe that doing nothing is one of the best things I (don’t) do. The way I see it, how you take care of your body and how you take care of your life are the same thing.
CAROLINA ROOTS, GLOBAL CURIOSITY
I grew up in rural North Carolina. And then I kept going — I’ve lived in Hong Kong, New York, DC, and traveled deep into Latin America and Asia. Seeing how differently people construct their lives has shaped how I think about yours.
“I’ve returned to myself. I feel more confident than ever about who I am, what I am doing, and what the future holds for me because of our work together.”
