In this episode, we sit down with the high-energy, all-heart Adrienne Smith, who shares her inspiring journey from TV anchor to Director of Media Relations at Nascentia Health. From chasing dreams in journalism to finding deeper purpose in healthcare, Adrienne opens up about faith, family, community—and why she’s passionate about keeping people cared for in the comfort of their own homes.

Tune in to hear about:

  • Adrienne’s pivot from broadcast journalism to a mission-driven role at Nascentia Health.
  • Why she left her dream job in TV news and how she’s finding even more fulfillment now.
  • The incredible work Nascentia does—serving 48 counties with home healthcare for everyone from pediatric patients to aging seniors.
  • Her personal connection to the cause, including caring for aging grandparents and what it taught her.
  • The upcoming Disco Inferno Fundraiser on April 5th at Beaches Manor, supporting pediatric home care through Nascentia's charitable foundation—think: silent disco, live DJ, 70s outfits, and a groovy night for a great cause!



This episode is filled with real talk, laughs, and the kind of purpose-driven storytelling that reminds you just how much impact one person (with great energy and a heart of gold) can make.
