We had the good fortune of connecting with Adanna Bernard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Adanna, is there something you believe many others might not?
Conventional wisdom often suggests that staying in an outdated, worn-out connection is okay, as if struggle love is a badge of honor. But it’s not. We’ve been conditioned to believe that enduring hardship in relationships is normal, even validating. In reality, it’s a disservice to our well-being and growth. Love shouldn’t be a constant battle; it should be a source of mutual respect, joy, and support. Let go of the notion that struggle equals love and embrace the idea that true connection empowers and uplifts.

Staying in a relationship out of fear of being alone or because it’s familiar only perpetuates this cycle of pain. Choose to value yourself enough to seek a partnership that nourishes your soul, fosters your happiness, and allows both individuals to thrive together. Remember, healthy love is about growth, not endurance. It’s about two people choosing each other daily because they want to, not because they feel they have to. You deserve a relationship where love is a source of strength, not a drain on your spirit. Don’t settle for anything less than a love that brings out the best in you and encourages you to become the best version of yourself.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I specialize in guiding individuals to uncover the hidden pains rooted in generational trauma—often buried so deeply that they may not even recognize it as trauma. Using my intuition, I help people identify and heal these wounds, allowing them to break free from cycles of pain. Additionally, I assist others in discovering truths that may be concealed from them. As a dynamic intuitive reader, my work is about revealing what lies beneath the surface, empowering others to heal and grow.

I’m most proud and excited about the opportunity to pursue my passion daily. I thrive on solving complex problems, and the challenges my clients bring allow me to do just that. What excites me most is using my intuitive gifts to help others uncover hidden truths and see through deception. My journey to where I am today has been driven by unwavering motivation and consistent determination, enabling me to turn my passion into a fulfilling and impactful career.

TheAfroZen is dedicated to empowering the voiceless and championing the undermined. I strive to help others refine their voices and stand up for themselves with confidence. My mission is to provide the support and tools needed for those who feel unheard or overlooked, ensuring they can assert their place in the world. I am here to uplift, encourage, and inspire, turning quiet strength into a powerful voice.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend visited, we’d start with a seafood feast down by the pier, enjoying the salty breeze and seagulls overhead. Evenings would be spent at jazz clubs, followed by fun at an adult arcade. We’d unwind with nail and spa days and mix in some adventure with parasailing and kayaking. A winery tour would offer a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. Each day would be a mix of vibrant experiences and tranquil moments.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to give a shoutout to my best friend, Marcia—my “MA”—and my small, close-knit group of friends who have truly become my family. Their unwavering support, love, and encouragement have been instrumental in my journey. Each of them has played a vital role in my life, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without their presence. This recognition is as much theirs as it is mine.
