Hi, I’m Adriane. I’m a neuroscience Ph.D., wife, mom of three, and former psychology professor. For nearly two decades, I’ve studied how the brain learns, adapts, and thrives—and I’ve always been particularly fascinated by all the ways science can help us live better lives.
Our Best Life Project grew out of a simple but powerful realization: it’s not enough to know what the research says—we have to live it. I wanted my family’s everyday life to reflect the best of what science teaches us about health, happiness, and human flourishing. So I began weaving together evidence from neuroscience, psychology, and biology to plan weekly exercises we could actually use at home. Thus began our journey to apply research-backed strategies to our life for 52 weeks straight.
I will share the Our Best Life Project journey as both a scientist and a mom, combining evidence-based insights with the realities of raising a family. My hope is to make complex science simple, practical, and inspiring—so that we can all move from just getting through the days to truly living our best lives.
