In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Shannon Missimer welcomes leadership coach and speaker Andrew Adames to the podcast. With over two decades of experience in both public and private sectors, Andrew shares his journey from feeling lost in his teens to becoming a purpose-driven leader, father, and coach who is committed to helping others step into their fullest potential.

Together, they explore the deeply human process of finding purpose—how the very traits we were once told were “too much” often hold the key to our greatest impact. From navigating trauma and fear to embracing emotional awareness and the sanctity of ordinary life, this conversation is filled with perspective-shifting wisdom and actionable encouragement.

You’ll hear:

• How your “too much” might actually be your superpower
• The importance of surrounding yourself with a healthy corner of support
• What it means to “run toward the roar” and face the hard things head-on
• Why emotional awareness and nervous system regulation are essential for true growth
• How to start discovering your purpose through reflection, assessments, and aligned community
• A reminder that no one is coming—but you are fully capable of choosing a new path forward

Whether you're in a season of transition, looking for deeper purpose, or simply need a breath of encouragement—you’ll walk away from this episode feeling seen, supported, and reconnected to what matters.
