1-1 COACHING
with Adria
Guidance & Message Clarity for Quiet or Neurodivergent Leaders
We need the slow-processing, deep-feeling leaders to stay the course for what our world faces.
We live in a society that moves fast and rewards those who are outspoken and comfortable in the spotlight.
Which often means we feel like the only way to be seen is to put on a louder, more extroverted mask.
But you can change the world without changing who you are.
The folks I work with are introverted rebels, quiet powerhouses and neurodivergent leaders who want to unhook from The Way Things Are and breathe soul into their work.
Together, we can…
Set up your biz to support your introverted, sensitive or ADHD/Autistic nervous system
Reconnect to your voice and make “marketing” feel like soulful creation
Uncover your way to be a quiet leader and call in your people without draining extroverted strategies
Align your leadership with where you are & who you are and feel rooted in your work
Clarify the most important elements of your messaging — The Narrative of Your Work & Your People, Core Message and Unique Positioning
Or make it a Messaging Partnership that includes co-creating copy for marketing, website, emails, whatever you’ve got going on in this season of your biz
You’re done trying to keep up, running yourself into the ground being louder and more extroverted to get your message out there.
You don't want to be talking just to be talking. You want to be passionate about what you’re saying and feel like you’re making a difference.
You want a guide that knows how you speak as an introvert and gets what’s on your heart (even when you’re not sure).
You don’t want hand-holding. You want a PARTNER.
A partner to hold the space and co-create with, mirror back to you, be a sounding board, provide the vroom to keep going when you’d rather not share and gently guide your evolution.
You know you’re here to create ripple effects, and you’re ready to show up fully in this partnership, in whatever way showing up fully looks like for you.
“Adria gets my introvert nature and understands sensitive humans.
Although I gained a lot from a copywriting course with another coach, I had also come away confused and unsure what my voice was. Even though I was getting engagement through social media, I didn't feel that my messaging truly reflected me.
Adria encouraged me to be my authentic self in my messaging and created a safe space to push myself with her loving and compassionate guidance.
I am SUPER confident in my voice and message now! I see my sensitivity and empath nature as a superpower rather than a weakness.”
Kat Frogosa, ADHD Money Coach
1-1 messaging support &
quiet leadership doula-ing
A Private Coaching Container
I only have room for a handful of private clients because I want space to be deeply in relationship together. To be an active collaborator and partner.
Because deepening relationships is woven into the art of introverted business — and introverted activism.
How it Works:
Messaging Support
1
Throughout our time together, I’ll be there to ask the deeper questions to pull things to the surface, mirror back & weave the threads of your messaging together.
I’ll also be in your corner for Direct Feedback and Support on written & creative expression.
ADD ON: Evolving Messaging 1-Sheet
We start off clarifying the most important elements of your messaging — The Narrative of Your Work & Your People, Core Message and Unique Positioning — as it exists in this moment.
Then I distill it into a Messaging 1-Sheet that evolves with us (to start with a firm footing & capture it as we go).
This is a cheatsheet with your foundation messaging in one place to quickly glance at. Because even though it’ll evolve over our time, you don’t want to wait to feel clear & grounded in how to express your work.
Quiet Leadership Doula-ing.
2
I’ll help you define & embody what it means to show up as a quiet leader in your own way (no need to get louder).
This may mean…
Unhooking your creativity from the “rules” of biz & productivity culture to rekindle FIRE back into your work.
Retooling biz strategies and marketing plans so they align with your introverted, sensitive self.
Peeling back those ancestral layers that say invisible is safer.
Bringing forward your true voice & clarifying what is yours to say.
ADD ON: Co-Creation.
3
This could take the form of tossing a google doc back and forth, you starting a written piece that I then refine, or me asking you those deeper questions during a session then crafting messaging to kickstart a written piece.
This might look like one short piece of writing between each of our calls or one longer piece over the month.
This is a bit of an experiment. I’m leaving some looseness in the form it takes so we can adapt to what works well for you and me, as a team.
Ideas of messaging/copy we can co-create during our time:
Website copy (e.g. updated About Page)
Newsletters or emails
Social media posts
Blog posts
Marketing copy
While we can’t do EVERYTHING, we’ll focus on what’s most key for you.
The goal is that you’re building the muscles & rewiring well-worn grooves over our time together rather than simply hiring a copyeditor who reviews all your work. ;)
Hi, I’m Adria Sophia
(she/her), shy TEDx speaker, neurodivergent podcaster, great-granddaughter of Sophie & Antonia and mentor to quiet leaders.
I’ve spent the past decade honing what it means to be a quiet – and potent – leader and led 7 years of intimate masterminds helping sensitive, introverted or neurodivergent coaches and business owners do the same. I’ve helped hundreds get clarity on what they’re here to say and clarify their soul message (and messaging).
My experience comes not just from supporting other Messengers but also from being a Messenger. I’m a TEDx speaker with 8+ years hosting a podcast that plays a meaningful role in listeners’ lives, and I’ve been interviewed over 50 times.
My work integrates key branding, copywriting, and marketing principles together with my user experience (UE) background from my architecture & design past and a healthy dose of natural intuitive firepower and women’s leadership training.
AND I hold a capitalism-critical lens to traditional business principles, actively casting out hustle culture, questioning standard practices, and offering guidance based in our humanity — while recognizing that we are still working within existing systems and our work is our livelihood.
My work often weaves in ancestral connection because our lineage informs how we show up as leaders, for better or worse.
I’m also a community-loving introvert & AuDHDer (Autistic + ADHD) of Ukrainian lineage living a nomadic lifestyle and exploring what it means to do work, business and life differently. Somewhere along the way, you’ll probably meet my dobie Lexi and the campervan my partner and I affectionately call “the dobervan.”
“I could feel I was on the cusp of something big in my business, and I knew this was the right time and Adria was the right coach to help. I have been transformed. It feels like a complete 180 for me from being shy and scared and worrying about what I’m saying to feeling the fear and doing it anyway, wanting to be that resource for people. My passion for my business and who I help has been reignited. I know what sets me on fire now.”
Lisa Thruston, Women's Wellness Guide
“OOOOOO EMMMM GEEEE ADRIA! I feel like you have created the magic that I always knew my message could be but was getting lost in ALL the ideas I had. You’ve combined all the pieces that I have cared so deeply about and also saying HOW all of my experience can make this happen. I feel like the floodgates have opened.”
Michelle Wood, Lifestyle Designer and Coach
“I love how Adria is an introvert and teaches from the heart for what works for her. She doesn’t push extroverted strategies, and she supports us in finding what works for us and always empowered us to dig deeper."
Sarah Hennessey, Sustainability & Wellness Coach
““It felt like soul work. Very powerful & cathartic. Like I was growing by leaps & bounds...and my life experiences were converging. Adria’s calmness and 'we will figure it out together' attitude is so soothing! She is accessible, relatable, warm, open-hearted, helpful and her caring shines through. I now have a ton more confidence that my work is needed in the world and the integrity of my message can be heard among the noise online."
Catie Chung, Nursing Professor, Registered Nurse
the container
Ongoing Private Leadership, Business & Messaging Support
Coaching Container. Space and time to spiral deeper together. I love coaching containers that are 6+ months, to get to know your voice, your heart and the soul of your work, but I’m open to exploring 4 months if that feels better for your needs or budget.
Private Sessions. Here’s where we do the deeper work, pulling forward your quiet leadership, your voice, your next evolution, whatever brings the FIRE.
Email Support & Feedback between sessions where you can bring the questions that come up in real time, and because sometimes our introverted or neurodivergent brains think of things when others aren’t looking.
ADD-ONS
Evolving Messaging 1-Sheet where I capture the foundational elements of your messaging, and we adjust as it evolves during our time together.
Written Messaging Co-Creation during or between sessions so you’ve got a partner with hands in your words, helping to convey and capture what’s on your heart to say and translate it to the page.
Open to also reshaping the structure or including other tools as we go if there’s something that feels more supportive (e.g. a double session deep dive one month instead of two shorter sessions or a Voxer line to me if we decide tossing voice messages back and forth might be helpful).
Part messaging alchemy.
Part intuitive weaving of threads.
Part follow through on your ideas.
Part mirror for what’s ready to emerge.
Part gently guiding your evolution.
Feel the spark to work together?
I have two spots left for starting in January.
Investment starts at $500/mo for 2 sessions per month with email support. Add-on to that an Evolving Messaging 1-Sheet & Co-Creation starting at $750/mo.
After I receive your application, we’ll hop on a call to see if we’re a fit and to determine the best structure and pacing for our work together (I have ideas but I like to personalize it to what you need).
Got a question? Feel free to reach out! :)
This is an opportunity to be part of something that’s being birthed, where there’s extra space to customize to you.
And likely at a lower rate than it will be in the future — if I continue to offer private work.
To put this into perspective, this is private work at a lower monthly investment than folks have paid to work with me in a group of 6.
1-1 coaching isn’t something I’ve offered in awhile. (Probably 3 or 4 years, I honestly can’t even remember.)
