Welcome to Raising Kids with purpose

Helping You Parent With Confidence, Connection, and Joy

Hi, I’m Adriane! I’m a certified nerd and parent coach, boy mom x3, and the founder of Raising Kids With Purpose. If you’re overwhelmed by your child’s behavior, exhausted by power struggles, or just wondering if you’re doing it “right,” you’re in the right place.

I help parents of high-energy, neurodivergent, hyperactive or strong-willed kids move from frustration and chaos to confidence and calm using research-backed, connection-first strategies that actually work. No gimmicks. No shame. Just practical tools rooted in neuroscience, child development, and grace.

Parenting won’t ever be perfect and neither will our kids’ behaviors (!), but with the right support and a clear plan, it can be more peaceful, purposeful, and joyful. I’m here to walk that journey with you.

“I loved the online experience with Adriane!
I feel so much more attuned to all three of my children. I often hear myself restating things I learned about making things fun for my youngest daughter or understanding what to expect from my hyperactive son.

My parenting Journey

From Discouraged and Exhausted to Empowered and Connected

A few years into parenting, I found myself in a place I never expected, completely overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unsure of what to do next. My firstborn had intense behaviors, he wouldn’t listen to anyone when given instructions or directions, and didn’t respond to anything the books said would work. Time-outs, rewards, consequences… none of it helped. I was constantly on edge, and parenting started to take a toll on my confidence, my marriage, and my joy.

But deep down, I knew there had to be a better way. I made the decision to stop reacting out of frustration and start learning what was really going on beneath the behavior. That choice changed everything.

I began studying neurodevelopment, brain science, and emotional regulation, and most importantly, I started working on myself. As I healed, so did my family. I found tools that helped me stay grounded, respond with connection, and guide my kids with confidence. It wasn’t perfect (still isn’t!), but it became peaceful. It became purposeful. And now, I get to help other parents do the same.

Fast Forward to Today

Helping Parents Raise Kids With Confidence and Purpose

Today, the chaos that once left me feeling helpless is what fuels my mission to support other parents. I’ve turned my years of research, personal growth, and hands-on experience into a coaching program that helps families thrive, even when kids are intense, emotional, or neurodivergent.

What started as a personal journey has grown into a movement of parents choosing a different path! A path that is rooted in connection, emotional intelligence, and practical tools that actually work in the real world. Through Raising Kids With Purpose, I’ve had the joy of helping parents go from reactive to responsive, stressed to secure, and disconnected to deeply bonded with their children.

If you’re tired of yelling, navigating daily meltdowns, or feeling like you and your partner are on totally different pages when it comes to parenting, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Whether you’re in survival mode or simply craving a more intentional way to raise your kids, I’d love to walk alongside you. This is your invitation to shift from overwhelmed to empowered.

let’s get real for a minute

I’m Not a Perfect Parent, But I’m All In

When I visit about pages, I want to get to know the person instead of just hearing about what they’re creating. I’m a full-of-life, talkative, overly enthusiastic extrovert raising three big-feeling, high-energy boys in the Arizona desert. I married my college sweetheart, drive a big ol’ SUV that I rarely can park, and that’s always full of scooters, balls, and camping chairs. I prefer hot liquids over anything cold, even when it’s over 115 degrees.

Parenting in my house is loud, chaotic, and very full of love. My boys challenge me almost every single day, and I challenge them back! They’re the reason I dove deep into brain development, emotional regulation, and everything I now teach. Because when I couldn’t find the answers in parenting books, I went out and found them myself.

Raising Kids With Purpose isn’t about having it all together. It’s about showing up with love, learning as you go, and leading your family with intention, even when the house is a mess and everyone’s melting down. I’m here to remind you that there’s no one answer in parenting, but there’s always a tool or a way to create the kind of family culture and environment you long for!

I’d love to walk with you as you discover what’s possible for your kids and for you!

“I was able to reach my goals as a parent because of Adriane’s gentle and understanding attitude. Her ability to relate to my situation of raising neurodivergent kids was one of the best parts of the program. Her program transformed our home for the better, and I’m forever grateful.”
