Episode 43: Creating Meaning From Experience + The Art Of Not Being “Busy” With Adrianna Adarme Of A Cozy Kitchen

Episode 43: Creating Meaning From Experience + The Art Of Not Being “Busy” With Adrianna Adarme Of A Cozy Kitchen

This week I’m bringing you a conversation with Adrianna Adarme, creator of popular website A Cozy Kitchen and author of the new book, The Year Of Cozy.

Adrianna and I talk about why she decided to leave her career in the film industry behind, how a speech from David Foster Wallace changed how she approached each day, why she wants people to stop saying they’re busy, and her tips on controlling negative thinking (you might be surprised how she’s doing it). 

And we’re giving away Adrianna’s new book…THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. 

The-Year-Of-Cozy-Giveaway

You’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out how to enter (it’s a super easy, with a fun question to answer). I’ll announce the winner at the end of the week!

    I would love to get cozy with Taylor Swift.

    Not in a relationship way, but in a hang out at her house dancing in the kitchen baking and crafting all day, way.

    On the real though, I could get cozy with Drake.

    When you first started with the directions I immediately brain-yelled “SWEATERS!” and then went “oh….. never mind.” I still want to pick sweaters because I’m excited for cooler weather and snuggley (<- not a word) clothes BUT, if I haaaavveeee to, I'd get cozy with Alexander SkarsgΓ₯rd because DAYUM.

    I'm sorry your move is getting all hurricane-interrupted. I live in Florida. #thestruggleisreal

    Cozy with … pretty much anyone who doesn’t bite. πŸ™‚ Grab cozy any time it presents itself.

    Also … I really appreciated your conversation with Adriana about being “busy.” It’s not like any one person has more time than another: we each have the same 24 daily hours. How we choose to spend them reflects our priorities. If we look at time this way, then “busy” starts to lose meaning (because everything can’t be a priority).

    Maybe this is a first-world perspective, but I suspect the planet would be a kinder, saner, more peaceful place if more of us bumped up in our priority list quiet time (with or without self-reflection or self-improvement).

    I enjoy your podcast. Stay dry!!

    I would like to have another kitten for our cat Ellie to befriend. She’s still pretty young and I feel she’d be so happy to have someone to play with. I would then watch them play chase through the house whilst I make coffee in the morning, wearing knitted socks with a fire crackling in my fireplace. Once they’ve tired each other out – I want to grab my morning cup of joe and a magazine, head back to bed and get cozy with the both of them little furry creatures. Iiih! *smiling giddily* I love cats so so much (our cat especially of course) that honestly, I kind of want to get cozy with a lot of cats… Maybe all of them? *crazy cat lady in the making*

    Thanks for a great episode of a great podcast! Found it just two days ago and I am making my way through the episodes, loving it and getting inspired and learning a lot so thank you!

    This was such a fun listen Jessica. I have been following Adrianna’s work for some time now and listening to her was great. I loved how humble and sweet she was.

    The person I want to get cozy with is a photographer that I admire. Though I am totally in love with my husband, if I hadn’t have him I wouldn’t mind getting cozy with Eric Wolfinger. He is the guy who co-authored and photographed the Tartine Cookbooks. Not only he is incredibly talented, but also he is so passionate about what he does, which is why I find it incredibly attractive.
    If you want to see how painfully hot he is, check this video out: https://vimeo.com/18018540
    He is cooking and photographing. It is a kind of porn for photographers. :)))

    Thanks for putting out such an incredible content. Hope rain will stop and you guys will be able to finalize your move very soon.

    Cheers from the sunny Caribbean Islands..

    First off, I would love to get cozy with Bill Hader. I find him strangely charming and sexy, which of course makes him even more attractive since he isn’t “conventionally” good looking by Hollywood standards (I’m looking at you, Brad Pitt.)

    Secondly, I just want to say I found your site and podcast through Adrianna’s Instagram, and I am incredibly happy I did! I have recently started listening to podcasts and yours is everything I have been looking for!

    I have to comment for the first time here because I loved this discussion! (and the entire podcast for that matter–have been binge listening since I found you through Katie Dalebout)

    I thought I was the only one who flipped right to the acknowledgement pages in books and grew up opening CD packages to read the same. There is nothing like laughing out loud and nodding when you hear something quirky you do reflected back to you by someone else. Hearing you and Adrianna chat about it was a riot. Thanks for bringing joy, laughs and a fabulous podcast to us. Brava!
