i am the expressive
You are…
the expressive
You’re a big talker and thinker. You’re often very thorough with your responses and have so many beautiful words that you try to use them all. You might be a writer or a speaker.
You're passionate & your message is easily diluted by all you have to say.
about your
messenger archetype
Superpower
You’re seen as passionate and someone with a perspective. You give people things to think about and are rarely caught with nothing to say.
Shadow Side
You fear people not seeing how amazing you are so you have a tendency to over-communicate. Those extra words add clutter and distract from the power of what you’re saying. You also tend to overthink and get stuck in indecision, seeking outside counsel.
Inner Conflict
"I talk out my feelings or thoughts. Is it even possible to summarize my mission without losing all I want to say or falling short? I continue explaining when I worry people aren’t getting the importance of what I’m saying.”
When Your Messaging is Messy:
It feels like stream of consciousness: There are amazing words in there, but what you are really saying gets lost in too many words. When you share with your community or try to get someone to do something, it’s hard for them to tell what you’re asking so it’s harder for people to support you in the way you want them to.
When Your Messaging is CLEAR:
There’s nothing veiling your power. Your words are potent when stripped down to say what you want to say and nothing more. You move people to action.

I’m Adria Sophia
(she/her), shy TEDx speaker, neurodivergent podcaster, great-granddaughter of Sophie & Antonia and mentor to quiet leaders.
I developed the five Messenger Archetypes based on what I’ve observed supporting hundreds of introverted coaches & sensitive leaders to clarify their brand messaging.
I’m also a semi-nomadic dogmom to Lexi the Doberman who loves to be out in the middle of nowhere with my family in our campervan.
As host of the Quiet Messenger Podcast (7 years & counting!), and leader of cozy, intimate Messenger Masterminds, I'm here to help you refine your next true message, reconnect with your people & realign who you are now with how you’re showing up so you step into your next level of impact.
