About Me

Hi, Friend! I’m ECSTATIC you’re here!

My name is Adriane and I absolutely love meeting new people so I’m beyond thrilled you’ve found Raising Kids With Purpose!

Parenting can be hard.

My honest opinion is that it doesn’t have to be.

I know, home can sometimes feel like a complete and total circus. Utter chaos at times. However, with the right tools, knowledge, a little trial and error while finding what works for each personality that resides in your home, you CAN FEEL calm, joyful, and like everything is right in the world. Or at the least like a tamed circus.

My Journey to Parent Coaching

Becoming a Mom

When I became pregnant in 2009, I devoured parenting books, including Positive Discipline before my son was even born. I thought I was ready—until my big blue-eyed boy proved to be nothing like the books described. He wasn’t a rule-follower, and no amount of consequences or rewards seemed to work. I felt lost, but this challenging season propelled me forward to what I’m passionate about today!

A Season of Learning

As my son grew, I dove into resources on neurodevelopment, interpersonal neurobiology, and brain development. Healing myself became the foundation for creating an environment where my kids could thrive. With two more sons and years of learning under my belt, I launched a blog in 2018 and joined an education company in 2020, later teaching similar concepts to educators.

Making It Official

In 2021, I became a certified parenting coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting. By 2022, I was creating workshops and resources for parents and educators, visiting over 100 microschools, and witnessing the transformative power of neurodevelopmental approaches. Co-hosting the KindlED podcast allowed me to learn from leading experts in child development and education.

The Season I’m In Today

At the end of 2024, I officially launched Raising Kids With Purpose, LLC to expand my impact and help parents across the globe!

Coming Soon!

Get ready for my 12-week PURPOSE Parent Transformation Program and other resources to support family culture and parents of hyperactive and neurodivergent kids. This is just the beginning, and I couldn’t be more excited!

What I’ve Learned

This is what I have discovered on my parenting journey that I want to share with you!

Take care of yourself first. This is a GAME to the CHANGER! It begins with YOU!
Connect and respond instead of overreact and command. At the core, kids want to feel safe, loved, and accepted.
Love God. Love people. And teach our kids to do the same.
Get organized.
Help your kids self regulate. We can only help our kids if they can help themselves.
Let your kids be kids and do things on their own!
And lastly, technology is evil. I’m joking but not joking at the same time.

Let’s Get Personal…

In 2008, I married the only boyfriend I ever had. He loves our family hard and gives me lots and lots of grace because I sure need it!
My family consists of a whole lot of loud, intense, hyperactive boys. We have three boys ages born in 2009, 2012, and 2017. I’m the only female in our family of five and although my heart really wanted to change that ratio, I am truly grateful for the insanity. Most days.
I’m a talker. I embrace who God created me to be, hence, why I decided to start Raising Kids With Purpose! I love listening to people and get excited if they out-talk me! I think I always beat people in speed though.
Being with friends and having lots of friends around fuels me like nothing else. I’m an extreme extrovert and start to literally go crazy if I don’t have human contact for more than an hour. 2020 was a really rough year for me…I even got shingles. It was horrible.
It doesn’t matter if a parking lot is full or empty, my car never seems to be straight in a parking spot. There was a time when someone even put a sticky note that read, “Park in the lines next time!” on my driver’s side window. I wasn’t even over the line; just on it. I try, buddy! I do.
I love to work out. There’s something about going to a group fitness class surrounded by a bunch of other sweaty people. Or maybe not the latter part.
In addition to the gym, I love being outdoors. When it’s not a million degrees outside in the Arizona desert, I am out hiking our local trails as much as possible. And when it does feel like the face of the sun, our family escapes the heat in our camper. We spend many weekends in the woods exploring nature, breathing in the cool crisp air, hiking, and reading as many books as we can.

Join me!

Coming from a broken unpredictable home environment before the age of six, I remember always wanting to save the “troubled” kids in my class not realizing I could have been considered the same. It is innate for me to love and educate others.

I have a friend who often tells me, “you read and learn about it then tell me what I need to know.”

That’s the heart of Raising Kids With Purpose. I’m not here to tell you how to parent—I’m here to listen, support, and share practical tools and strategies that can help you and your kids thrive, stay active, and build a healthy, connected family life.
