Our Founder
Hi, I’m Adrienne Burton, and I’d love to inspire you to recognize your immense power for healing, growth and immeasurable joy!
As a child, I was curious, energetic, and a bit “odd” — always asking questions and seeking new experiences, but struggling to fit in. I faced bullying and a deep sense of disconnection, constantly searching for my true self. This internal struggle reached a breaking point in high school, when my deep despair led me to attempt suicide. I didn’t know it then, but that moment would later become the turning point for a transformative journey that awaited me.
Over many years I built a successful career in business and technology consulting that appeared perfect on the surface. As a driven high achiever, I worked long and hard until I burned myself out and had a complete mental and emotional breakdown. I had masked my deep pain with achievements, addiction, and a facade of strength, ignoring the warning signs that something was deeply wrong.
Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder coupled with anxiety, depression, and undiagnosed ADHD were lurking beneath the surface while I was climbing the corporate ladder, but losing touch with the things that truly mattered: joy, connection, and authenticity.
My wake-up call was a mental health crisis that led me to take a medical leave of absence from work, which eventually launched to a 3½-year journey of profound healing and self-discovery. I faced some harsh truths that I had spent years avoiding, and by working with therapists, healers, and health practitioners, I began to uncover the root causes of my illness. I learned that my struggles weren’t just my own — they were tied to behavior and belief patterns born out of both personal and generational trauma. I confronted the parts of me that I had long feared — the parts that felt broken or unworthy. And through this process, I discovered that healing isn’t about achieving perfection. It’s about embracing every part of who I am — even the messy, painful parts — and recognizing that each part holds a vital lesson for growth.
Healing was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it has been the most rewarding. I learned to love myself unconditionally, to accept my past without shame, and to step into a life anchored in joy, authenticity, and purpose. Today, I prioritize my well-being every day, cultivating nourishing relationships and aligning myself with my highest potential.
Living Life Liberated was born from my own journey — a space where I can share the wisdom, tools, and experiences that helped me heal, so that others can do the same. I believe that no matter where you start or how broken or lost you may feel, transformation is always possible. You can reclaim your joy. You can heal. You can live a life that is true to who you are.
If my story resonates with you, know that you are not alone. The path to healing may be challenging, but every step you take leads you toward a life that is more vibrant, more fulfilling, and more aligned with the joy you deserve. You have the power to live life liberated. And I am here to walk with you every step of the way.
