Your Time to Shine
Adriana’s signature keynote, drawn from becoming a TEDx speaker at 58: proof that the second half of life is expansion, not decline.
The umbrella theme behind Vida Wellness Club and Radiant At Every Age: visibility, possibility and reinvention, lived out loud.
Adriana found her voice reporting from mines and factories around the world in a man’s industry. She shows women how to reclaim theirs.
After decades of putting everyone else first, Adriana rebuilt her confidence from the ground up, and helps audiences do the same.
Journalist, Head of HR, photographer, entrepreneur, speaker: Adriana’s every reinvention was training, never a mistake.
After twenty years of marriage, Adriana chose to walk away and start over. Proof that endings can be acts of love, and beginnings.
In her TEDx talk, rather than asking what’s wrong with people, Adriana challenged audiences to ask a more compassionate question:
What happened to you?
Drawing on her own family’s story, this deeply personal TEDx talk explores trauma, compassion and the hidden stories behind behaviour - showing how curiosity can transform the way we see one another.
