When did we stop talking with the people sitting right in front of us? In this first solo episode, Adrienne reflects on how intentional questions can rebuild connection at home, at work, and around the dinner table.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why meaningful conversation doesn't just happen anymore and why it has to be created intentionally
• How asking simple questions can build deeper connection at home and at work
• What high school experiences reveal about who we are and the choices we make
• How family traditions built around questions can strengthen trust and confidence
• The story behind the Now You're Talking® game and how one question can spark meaningful dialogue

Adrienne’s Defining Realization

The moment Adrienne noticed families and friends sitting together but not talking she realized conversation wasn’t disappearing by accident. It was being replaced by distraction. That realization led her to intentionally create moments for questions at her own family table traditions that eventually inspired the creation of the Now You're Talking® conversation game.
