I help women get back who they really are, with clarity, faith & freedom. Eventually Adrienne sold the magazine, but it’s still in print today!

After graduating high school a year early, Adrienne joined the military and served as a paramedic in the US Air Force for 7 years. She went on to graduate Cum Laude from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, with a degree in Public Relations. After graduation, Adrienne landed a job with a marketing and PR agency in Philadelphia, working with NASCAR, Palmer's Chocolate and the Crohn's and Colitis Foun

dation. She handled everything from pitching to media outlets... to copywriting... to promoting live events. In 2007, shortly after having her first child, Adrienne started a local parenting magazine called South Jersey MOM. In the first month, she printed 10,000 full-color copies and had just ONE paying advertiser. Over the next 4 years, the magazine grew to a distribution of 30,000 copies per month in 7 counties. When Facebook's advertising platform was fairly new, Adrienne saw a huge opportunity to tap into this powerful marketing tool. In 2013, she started Powerplay Media, a Facebook Ad Agency, that has since been the driving force behind $90,000,000 in revenue and counting for her clients. She helped over 6,500 business owners create and scale ad campaigns and has worked with some of the top names like UC Davis, Digital Marketer, Pete Vargas, Michael Hyatt, Jen & Chris Winfield, Eric Worre, Bossbabe, Anthony O’Neal, Selena Soo, Bethany Hamilton, ThinkMedia, Siimon Reynolds and many more. She was also the Director of Marketing at Clients on Demand for 5 years, where she helped grow the company from $1 MIL per year to $15 MIL per year, earning $10-15 for every $1 spent on ads. Today, Adrienne leverages her 17+ years of marketing expertise and leadership to offer high-level business owners something rare: a Fractional CMO who has mastered every facet of building successful businesses. From founding a print magazine and turning it into a thriving, revenue-generating machine, to leading multi-million dollar ad campaigns and scaling companies from the ground up, Adrienne's hands-on experience is unmatched. She’s not just another CMO; she’s a strategic playmaker and a strong leader who knows how to help teams operate at their highest potential. With her track record, Adrienne is the powerhouse you want leading your marketing efforts and setting your business up to win big.

You’ve held it together for so long.

Smiled when it hurt.
Performed while empty.
Carried the weight without letting it show.

But peace doesn’t come from pushing through.

It comes from laying it down. It comes from a place of surrender.

He sees the full picture. We just need to follow His lead.

I thought these things made me weak.

Once I healed myself, I realized they actually made me powerful.

Strong women don’t break. They just bend under the pressure of trying to hold everything together.

And then one day… they reach a point where they realize the most powerful thing they can do is ask for support.

Hiring a coach doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise.

You don’t need a pep talk. You need a partner who can match your strength.

Someone to help you operate at your highest level without sacrificing your peace, your joy or yourself in the process.

I will be opening up coaching spots soon. If you’re ready to rebuild from a place of strength, not survival, comment “POWER” to get on the waitlist.

This is your next chapter. You don’t have to walk through it alone.

Let’s be honest…

Part of us wants a God we can manage.

Control.

Micromanage, even.

So we shrink Him down to the size of our understanding.
We box Him in based on our limited perspective and priorities.

And what we’re left with… is a downsized version of Him.

One that can’t possibly carry us through pain.
One that seems too small to cover our shortcomings.
One that fits our comfort, but not our calling.

That’s where most people lose faith…not because God failed them, but because the version of God they believed in was too small to begin with.

Our biggest problem?

Isn’t that God’s not showing up…

It’s that we don’t believe He’s big enough.

When a season in your life changes, you can always trust this: God hasn’t.

He’s not punishing you with change… He’s positioning you.

He’s not taking something from you… He’s preparing something FOR you.

And sometimes the only way to receive the new thing… is to release the old one.

Let Him remove what no longer fits so He can place what does.

Because when a chapter closes, God’s not done—He’s just making space.

So if He’s asking you to let go… it’s not rejection.

✨It’s redirection.✨

And it’s always about preparation for the next chapter.

In my weekly newsletter, I share my unfiltered and “off-the-record” take on life, business and living fully alive to help and inspire successful women who are ready to begin their next chapter.

I’m alive, got home before lunch and surgery went well. Since I’ve been home, two words just won’t leave me alone:
SUFFER WELL.

It feels so contradictory.

“Suffering” and “well” don’t belong in the same sentence.

But that’s exactly what I want to do.

I don’t want to whine and complain my way through recovery from shoulder surgery.

I don’t want to be grumpy.
I don’t want to spiral into self-pity.

I don’t want to lose my peace every time I feel pain or frustration.
(Not being able to use my right arm for months is FOR SURE going to be annoying).

But still, I want to suffer well.

Which means letting the pain draw me closer to God instead of pulling me away.

It means allowing the limits to slow me down, but not shut me down.

It means being honest about how hard it is… but not letting that hardness harden me.

I’ve got two choices:

I can gripe and complain and talk about how much this is going to suck
(which I’ve definitely already done MANY times over the last few weeks)...

OR

I can take my thoughts captive.
I can focus on what IS going well.
I can choose to see what God is doing in the middle of it.

Suffering well isn’t about pretending I’m fine.
I KNOW I’m going to have moments where I want to cry, or quit or scream.

But I’ve walked through worse.
And God didn’t waste any of it.
This isn’t just about healing my shoulder.

This is about surrender and letting God do something in me during the healing process.

So if I HAVE to go through this, I’m CHOOSING to suffer well.

A lie repeated enough times will start to feel like truth—but it’s still a lie.

It’s not distance. It’s an invitation to deeper dependence.

He didn’t go anywhere.

He just lowered His voice to pull you closer.

You ever have seasons where life feels like it’s breaking up with you left and right?

Like—“Hey, thanks for trying your best, but I’m just going to keep kicking you while you’re down”?

I’ve been there.

It’s the client you gave everything to… and still lost it.

The relationship you prayed would work… and didn’t.

The door you were sure God would open… that slammed shut instead.

At first, it feels like failure.

Like disappointment is having its way with your life.
Like maybe you did something wrong.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
Every time something ends, it’s not just an ending.
It’s making room for what’s next.

Ariana Grande has a song called “thank u, next” and it’s all about love—but I’ve started applying it to my LIFE.

Because maybe what feels like rejection… is actually redirection.

Maybe God isn’t just closing doors.
Maybe He’s making room.

So now, instead of sitting in the pain of what ended, I bless it on its way out:

The client that drained me—thank you, next. ➡️

The relationship that ended—thank you, next.➡️

The version of me that kept people comfortable but left me empty—thank you, next. ➡️

The plan I made that didn’t match God’s—thank you, next. ➡️

The waiting season I tried to rush—thank you, next. ➡️

Because I’m not here to cling to what’s gone, I’m here to stay open to what’s next.

The most painful life lessons? We never want to learn them… but they’re the ones that change us the most.

New plan. Bigger faith. Bolder future.

01/05/2025

You’re either paying the price to grow or slowly paying the cost of staying still.

One is more expensive than the other.

Growth will stretch you. It’ll ask more of you than you think you have.

But comfort will suffocate you. And it will cost you your peace, purpose and potential.

One feels hard now.

The other feels easy—until it isn’t.

Pick your price.
