About Adaire

Hi! My name is Adaire. As an introvert, talking about myself is not my favorite thing to do... but I will give you a quick summary so you can learn a little about me! First and foremost, I am a Woman of Faith. There is nothing I appreciate more than family, my close relationships and being a mother. I'm a Texas native, the oldest of 3 siblings and we were born into a loving and forward-thinking family of successful entrepreneurs. We learned from a young age that whatever reality you want, you can create with belief in yourself, persistence and hard work. I was taught the only barriers you create, are in your mind! That may explain my diverse expertise in different fields. And believe it or not, I enjoy them all because they allow me to help others! What you do, does not define who you are. It's just a gift you have to give, that allows you to reach and help the rest of the world.

Back Story
