Coffee and Hustle

Change is good!

I've been working behind the scenes for years on the Coffee & Hustle podcast. I started recording around 2019 to help my clients relax through the life pause we all were feeling. Some of my early recordings were unscripted and without video, as people were not comfortable being on camera at the time.

Now, I'm interviewing not only local guests but international ones as well, and the demand for recordings has increased. To tell you the truth, podcasting is not as easy as you think. There is planning, research, recording, editing, and all the things that make it look pretty.

In the past year, I've been evolving and reinventing myself. I'm doing what I love and working on projects that fit me. I've realized that time is not always on my side, and I've already changed my marketing model and website, so it's time to reflect that change in my Coffee & Hustle podcast.

So, long story short, I'm merging Coffee & Hustle with Designedbycarla because why not? Let's face it: who has the time to manage more and not just simplify the process? I've always felt the pressure to push the boundaries of my business. I'm ready for a change to do the things that I like doing anyway.

I'm tired of keeping up with all these social media accounts and am ready to streamline the process. Plus, I thought that keeping them separate was smart, but now, I'm just going with the flow.

Plus, I like to keep it real! Follow Designedbycarla Marketing for Coffee & Hustle.

Welcome to the Coffee & Hustle podcast. Today, we will discuss Transforming Women's Healthcare with Adrienne Garbarino, a Huntsville native who graduated from Sparkman High School in 2003.

After completing her Bachelor's Degree in Nursing at Auburn University, she completed her Master's in Nursing at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. After ten years in Atlanta, she moved back to Huntsville in 2020 with her husband, Patrick, and son, Noah. We will discuss Adrienne's journey from nursing to self-care and her business, Cove Telehealth.

Cove Telehealth helps women in Alabama aged 19-64 balance their hormones and thyroid using safe and effective prescription medications, supplements, and lifestyle changes. They combine conventional medical prescriptions with functional medicine supplements and lifestyle changes to create a customized treatment plan for each patient. Adrienne has been through a personal journey to diagnose and improve her own thyroid and hormone imbalances. She is thrilled to share all she has learned to help women feel their best. An estimated 80% of women suffer from some hormone imbalance.

Adrienne is an active member of local professional organizations, including the Women for Economic Development Council (WEDC) and The Catalyst Center. She also mentors college students through the WEDC Foundation.
