In this episode I talk to Adele Wiejaczka about her experience at a time in her life when everything she built no longer feelt right. She shares how a business betrayal forced her to reevaluate success which lead to deeper alignment, better boundaries, and a new form of leadership rooted in self-trust, clarity, and nervous system regulation.

Introduction

Adele is a brand strategist, creative intuitive, and former university professor turned entrepreneur. With over 13 years of experience, she helps soul-led coaches, authors, and creatives build brands rooted in authenticity, emotional intelligence, and aligned leadership.

She began her business journey in a dry cabin in remote Alaska, continued it while working remotely from Bali, and now runs a six-figure brand strategy business from a DIY truck camper while exploring the backroads of Colorado. Her work blends brand clarity with energetic alignment—helping entrepreneurs grow without burning out or losing themselves in the process.

Adele’s leadership philosophy is grounded in self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and honoring diverse ways of thinking, working, and showing up. As someone who’s worked with highly sensitive, neurodivergent, and multi-passionate leaders, she knows that the most effective leadership doesn’t come from control—it comes from clarity, trust, and grounded presence.

She brings a refreshing perspective to conversations around business, mindset, psychological safety, and what it truly means to lead from within.
