The Intersection of Elite Performance and Emotional Intelligence
In the modern digital landscape, the term “Public Figure” is often synonymous with fleeting trends, yet Adaurie Stemshorn represents a profound departure from the norm. Her profile is a sophisticated synthesis of high-stakes, results-driven professional expertise and deeply emotive storytelling. At Petnarianpets, we are dedicated to celebrating voices that bridge the gap between technical mastery and the raw, transformative power of animal-human connections. Adaurie Stemshorn stands as a beacon of this duality, successfully transferring her background in Division I (D1) athletics and sports psychology into a mission of
social-emotional learning (SEL) for the next generation.
This exclusive feature is more than an article; it is a collaboration between Adaurie Stemshorn and Petnarianpets. We recognize that the most impactful lessons in life—resilience, leadership, and empathy—are often mirrored in the animal kingdom. Stemshorn’s primary digital brand, identified by the handle @coachadaurie, serves as a bridge between these worlds. While her “coach” title carries the weight of a Master of Science in Exercise Science and a history of national championship-winning soccer programs, her current focus is on a much smaller, yet equally significant, arena: the bond between a bantam hen and a peacock.
By documenting the true story of Peawee and Susan, Stemshorn has created a narrative hook that transcends the typical boundaries of children’s literature. It is a story of
non-traditional families and “unconditional love and acceptance,” themes that are now solidified in her published work, I Will Always Be Your Mommy. For our readers at Petnarianpets, this collaboration offers a blueprint for how professional discipline can be leveraged to champion the emotional well-being of families and children worldwide.
The Academic Foundation of a Modern Public Figure
The authority Adaurie Stemshorn brings to her literary and educational endeavors is not accidental; it is rooted in a rigorous academic and professional history. Understanding her background is essential for appreciating the “strategic credibility transfer” she employs when discussing themes of belonging and confidence.
Scientific Rigor in Human Behavior and Motivation
Stemshorn’s educational journey began at Sacramento State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology in 2017. This was followed by a Master of Science degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion, specializing in Sports Psychology, from California University (CalU). This concentration is pivotal. Sports psychology is the study of how psychological factors affect performance and how participation in sport and exercise affect psychological and physical factors. This training provided her with a deep understanding of human behavior, motivation, and learning theories—knowledge she now applies to the pedagogical goals of her children’s book.
Furthermore, her formal licensing, including the US Soccer National D License and NASE Certification, confirms her adherence to formalized industry standards. This academic and professional rigor ensures that when she speaks on the importance of “embracing differences” or “developing confidence” through her characters Peawee and Susan, she is doing so from a foundation of quantifiable expertise in human development.
A Timeline of Verifiable Achievement
Stemshorn’s resume is characterized by sustained high performance. Her participation and coaching tenure at the West Coast Soccer Club since 2013 has resulted in five state championships and a national championship in 2011. She also served as a Student Assistant Coach at the D1 level for Sacramento State Women’s Soccer, where she was responsible for strategic advice and performance statistics. She still works with the West Coast Soccer Club and that is where the term Coach Adaurie came from, It was the players she coached who encouraged her to start Tik Tok
This history of managing large-scale youth programs—such as the Mack Road Partnership where she oversaw over 100 children and trained other coaches—demonstrates her capacity for systematic development. It is this exact organizational expertise that she is currently applying to her “authorial execution model,” ensuring that I Will Always Be Your Mommy is not just a story, but a structured educational resource.
The Heart of the Mission: The True Story of Peawee and Susan
At the center of Adaurie Stemshorn‘s recent career pivot is a serendipitous and heartwarming occurrence on her farm. The story of Peawee and Susan is the “core asset” of her brand, providing a unique narrative that is both emotionally resonant and biologically fascinating.
An Accidental Motherhood: Susan the Bantam Hen
The narrative began when a hatchery mistake resulted in Stemshorn receiving a box of tiny bantam hens. Among them was Susan, who grew into a gentle, patient hen with a natural “gift for motherhood”. Susan’s instincts were first tested when Stemshorn found an abandoned peacock egg. Trusting in Susan’s protective nature, she placed the egg under the hen. This
act of trust resulted in the birth of a baby peacock, which Stemshorn named Peawee.
This real-life interaction serves as the foundation for I Will Always Be Your Mommy. It highlights the biological phenomenon of cross-species fostering, but more importantly, it serves as a powerful metaphor for “non-traditional family structures” and adoption. Susan did not see a different species; she saw a chick in need of a mother. This lesson of “unconditional love” is what Stemshorn aims to instill in her readers.
A Guiding Quote
“Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.” — Oprah Winfrey
A Motherhood is not biological
Motherhood is not a biological blueprint; it is a conscious response to a need. Susan the hen reminds us that the heart does not require a mirror image to feel a sense of belonging. When she tucked that oversized peacock egg beneath her wings, she wasn’t looking for a bird that shared her feathers; she was answering the silent plea of a life that needed warmth to survive.
In that moment, the ‘accidental’ nature of their meeting vanished, replaced by a deliberate choice to nurture. It serves as a profound reminder that family is not just something we are born into—it is something we build through the simple, steady act of showing up for one another, regardless of how different we may appear on the outside.”
Loyalty Beyond Size: The Growth of Peawee
As Peawee grew to be five times Susan’s size, their bond remained unshakable. Peawee continued to follow Susan everywhere, staying loyal even when Susan had new babies of her own. This enduring relationship captured the hearts of everyone who witnessed it, leading to the creation of the book.
For Adaurie Stemshorn, the story of Peawee and Susan is a way to reassure children that “family is defined by love, not appearances”. By using a “true story” as her primary audience magnet, she provides a memorable and authentic hook that is easily leveraged across platforms like Instagram (@coachadaurie).
Strategic Execution: The Launch of I Will Always Be Your Mommy
In collaboration with Petnarianpets, we have analyzed the business-like planning behind Stemshorn’s literary venture. It is clear that she is not merely “storytelling” but executing a sophisticated “product deployment”.
Institutional Integration and Educational Impact
Stemshorn’s role as a Substitute Teacher in the Lammersville Unified School District served as
a powerful marketing channel. She stepped away from teaching after gefling married As she said.
“My connection with local schools played a huge role in this journey. It helped open the door for me to read I Will Always Be Your Mommy to over 30 classrooms in my hometown, which ended up being a really meaningful part of sharing Peawee and Susan’s story with kids”
This role allowed her to remain aligned with “practical application within the educational landscape”.
Furthermore, her inclusion in library systems like the Mid-Hudson Libraries catalog reinforces the book’s intended use as an educational tool for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). By positioning her work for “bedtime stories, classroom discussions, and family navigation of difficult topics,” she is creating a “structured, repeatable emotional roadmap” for children and parents.
The Power of “@coachadaurie“
The branding strategy of Adaurie Stemshorn is a deliberate juxtaposition of performance and affinity. While her Instagram handle, @coachadaurie, is “inherently
performance-oriented,” the content focuses on the high-quality production of farm life and animals.
Credential-Backed Authority Transfer
Her audience segmentation is twofold:
- A-Segment (Primary): Parents and educators interested in SEL, adoption, and belonging, driven by the emotional connection to Peawee and Susan.
- B-Segment (Secondary): Individuals interested in soccer training, youth development, and kinesiology, aflracted by her professional credentials.
At Petnarianpets, we believe this dual approach is her greatest strength. She is leading with an emotionally resonant story while having the academic and professional pedigree to back it up.
Impact and Future Horizons
The impact of Adaurie Stemshorn‘s work is already being felt across media and communities. Her book launch has been managed with “professional expectations,” securing media coverage on local news affiliates like WTXL in Tallahassee.
A Proven Track Record of Excellence
Stemshorn’s “historical impact in athletics” is a precursor to her literary success. Being named a WPSL All-Star and achieving national titles requires a level of discipline and strategic planning that she now applies to brand management. Partners and institutional buyers can infer that her authorial journey is being approached with the same “rigorous, structured effort” that yielded national championships.
As part of our collaboration, Petnarianpets highlights that I Will Always Be Your Mommy is currently being positioned for “professional review and awards consideration”. This confidence in the material’s quality signals a long-term commitment to the literary and SEL field.
