The Diana Show

There was a 10 day period of Thomas and I flip-flopping back-and-forth on whether or not this is a good time for us to jump in as a couple to salon ownership or whether we should be waiting for a few years. Although we have a very full life with five kids, and Thomas has his own advertising and marketing agency, the opportunity is just so sweet and the time felt right… so here we go! #salonownersh...

Here’s how you can do it too! #womeninspiringwomen #momswhotakerisks #wo...

Showing up for ourselves and committing to never quitting on our goals is a huge commitment, but one that I’ve pledged to. We cannot expect to get anywhere when we are punishing ourselves for small (or large) setbacks. What we can expect are huge results when we agree to the fact that we are committed to showing up for ourselves in this journey no matter what. #dietculturesucks #showingupforme #ma...

The power to wake up in a difficult place and to be able to put my hand on my heart, take a couple of deep breaths, and set my intentions for how I really want to feel that day has made such a huge difference in the way that I’m living!
