  • From Breakdown to Breakthrough: Adriana Sorge on Owning Your Power
    2025/02/17

    In this episode, I sit down with Adriana Sorge, a transformation coach with a master’s in spiritual psychology, whose journey is a masterclass in resilience, intuition, and owning your truth.

    Adriana’s story begins in the middle of a three-year divorce battle while raising two toddlers. Struggling through uncertainty, she found herself at a kickboxing class where a chance conversation led her to a life-changing decision—enrolling in a two-year program in spiritual psychology. With no clear plan and finances tight, she trusted her gut and took the leap.

    Her defining moment? A custody hearing where, against her attorney’s advice, she spoke directly to the judge from the heart—no scripts, no strategy, just raw truth. The result? More custody of her kids and a deep realization: authenticity is power.

    Fast-forward to today, Adriana and her ex-husband have gone from adversaries to friends, proving that transformation is possible in even the most challenging relationships.

    As a coach, she now helps others reconnect with their inner knowing, teaching them to listen to their body’s signals, emotions, and truth. Her book, Your Breakdown is Your Breakthrough, is both a memoir and a guide, packed with tools for healing, self-love, and personal growth.

    This conversation is a deep dive into:

    🔹 Personal sovereignty – Taking ownership of your life, even when it feels impossible.

    🔹 The power of speaking your truth – How authenticity shifts outcomes.

    🔹 Healing from the inside out – Adriana’s journey through bulimia, childhood trauma, and radical self-love.

    Her message? Transformation starts with you. Trust the process, embrace the discomfort, and know that every small moment of presence and self-acceptance is a step toward your breakthrough.

    2025/01/27

    Leadership on Purpose welcomes singer-songwriter Juliet Sosa, who shares her transformative journey from childhood musical expression to professional artistry. After a near-death experience catalyzed her commitment to music, Juliet's path led her through worship leadership to Los Angeles, where she fully embraced her calling to write and produce original music.

    The episode explores how Juliet overcame self-doubt through intentional practices, particularly journaling. Host Kathryn Ficarra emphasizes the power of morning journaling during the brain's peak creative state, helping identify patterns and shift from reactive to intentional living. This practice proved crucial for Juliet in facing fears and strengthening her resolve to pursue music professionally.
