From Struggle to Strength:

My Journey to Empowerment

Hi, I'm Diane!

From a young age, I grappled with feelings of unworthiness and depression.  I often felt I didn’t belong in my own family, leading to a childhood marked by a desperate search for love and attention in all the wrong places.  My days were consumed by getting into trouble, hanging out with the wrong crowd, and acting out, all in the hopes of being noticed, being seen.  I was searching for a way to fill the void within me.

At 17, my world changed dramatically,  I discovered I was pregnant.  This was a major turning point.  I knew that if I wanted a better life for myself and my baby I needed to make some major changes.  I didn’t want my child to grow up in the same environment of victim thinking and poverty that I had known. 

Driven by an unwavering determination, I sought answers in the only place I could think of - the library.  Tony Robbins book “Awaken the Giant Within” became my first guide on the path to my personal development.  That book marked the beginning of a transformative journey.  From that point onward, I devoured hundreds of books, attended workshops and participated at many retreats, all in a quest to find a fix for what was wrong with me.  To find a way out of the unhappiness and very low self-worth.

Despite my efforts, depression remained a constant shadow, often pushing me to the brink of despair.  With all I had learned from the many books I read and retreats I sat through, I developed a skill for helping others.  Encouraged by friends who saw the potential in me that I couldn’t see in myself, I became a certified Integral Life Coach.  But, even as I helped others, depression continued to suppress my own potential and erode my confidence.

My breakthrough came when I dove into the study of psychology and the intricate workings of the subconscious mind.  I learned how childhood beliefs can shape our lives and how to dismantle the negative and limiting ones.  By becoming certified in the Clear Beliefs method, a transformative process that finally allowed me to heal deeply, I learned the most crucial lesson of all – self love.

My past is not just a story of pain and struggle but also one of resilience and transformation.  I learned that our past does not determine our future, and everyone has the power to write the next chapters of their story, where being brave and empowered is a way of being.  Through my  journey, I discovered that the key to true happiness lies in embracing our authenticity and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Today, my mission is to help others overcome their limiting beliefs and behaviors, heal old wounds, and embrace the radiant, authentic person they are meant to be.  I know firsthand that transformation is possible, and that your true power lies just beneath the surface, waiting to be awakened. Together, we can navigate the path to healing and create a life filled with joy, purpose and unshakable self-love.
