The Flower Shop That Wasn't Planned | Adrienne Ryser

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!Adrienne Ryser moved to Paris for love with two suitcases, a cat, no visa, and no French, and ended up buying the oldest flower shop in the city. Now she's opened a second location in Oslo and just published her first book, Fleurs. In this conversation, Wendy and Adrienne explore:What it took to earn a spot at a shop the original owners hadn't let an employee touch in a decade, and why they still drive by to check on her years laterAdjusting to a culture that discourages standing out, after building an entire business on doing exactly thatThe moment she realized chasing "calm and settled" wasn't actually the goal — building a life with room for both chaos and quiet wasWhat stands out about Adrienne's story isn't the shop, or the book, or even Paris itself. It's how many times she's said yes to a life she never planned for, then built something remarkable inside it anyway.Connect with Adrienne:Get her book, Fleurs: Bouquets, Arrangements, and French Floral Inspirations: amazon.com/dp/1454958022?tag=syty-20Instagram:@AdrienneRyser instagram.com/adrienneryserL’Arrosoir Oslo: instagram.com/larrosoirosloL’Arrosoir Paris: instagram.com/larrosoirparisReferenced in this Episode:Meghan Trainor - Me Too: youtu.be/qDRORgoZxZU?si=Aa9673EyzQVsmpNBThe Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks: amazon.com/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level/dp/0061735361?tag=syty-20________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?
