Grow Your Business Without the Burn Out with Adriana Keefe


Listen Later

Adriana had a wake up call when she found herself looking forward to maternity leave as a vacation with her second child. She was burned out, couldn’t sleep, and was anxious all the time. After talking with a business coach, she realized coaching was her calling. So she stepped out on her own. 

In today’s episode, we sit down with Adriana Keefe, a human design coach who strives to help women grow their businesses without burning out. Today, she talks about human design, her biggest lessons, what services she offers, and so much more. 

“You start to question why you became an entrepreneur, you’re like ‘this obviously isn’t for me.’ In reality. It has nothing to do with them giving you bad advice or you being bad at what you do. It’s simply that they don’t know how you’re energetically wired to do things. Unless there’s someone who works in something like human design and can understand that they can’t give you the exact tools that you need.” – Adriana Keefe

    • Our Favorite Quotes:

      • “Over time, I started to kind of come out of the closet, if you will, about my spirituality and what I believed in, and then people really resonated with that.” – Adriana Keefe
      • “But I don’t have to push myself as hard. I am not burned out. Things just fall into place. And the decisions are like, ‘this was what was supposed to be said.'” – Adriana Keefe
      • “I don’t think you’ll ever meet someone who’s really successful that does not have a business coach or a life coach or both. But you need that second set of eyes and ears, you need that person to lean on.” – Adriana Keefe
