There’s no perfect time to chase your dreams…and it’s never too late to start. In this episode, I talk about why growth doesn’t need a deadline, why waiting for January 1st keeps us stuck, and why life will always happen whether we’re ready or not. From starting school at any age to beginning fitness, financial, or sobriety journeys without a “right time,” this is your reminder to stop waiting and start choosing yourself. No timelines. No rules. Just start.

Setting boundaries isn’t easy ...especially when guilt, family expectations, and people-pleasing are involved. In this episode, I share what boundaries really mean to me, why we struggle to set them, and how honoring ourselves can strengthen our relationships instead of damaging them.We talk about boundaries with family, children, time, energy, and personal choices, and why being blood-related or “having good intentions” doesn’t excuse crossing someone’s boundaries. This episode is an honest conversation about choosing yourself without apology.

Marriage after kids is no joke. Let’s talk about the expectations, the exhaustion, the emotional shifts, and how to rebuild connection when it feels like we are just going with the motion. This episode is your reminder that you’re not alone...and you’re not failing. You’re learning.

In this episode, we dive deep into the journey of self-care, identity, and rediscovering ourselves in motherhood.For so many of us, becoming a mom means pouring endlessly into everyone else! Our kids, our homes, our work...until we look in the mirror and barely recognize who we’ve become. I share my personal story of losing myself during my first year of motherhood and what it took to get my confidence, my joy, and the parts of me I had placed on the backburner back. We talk about why self-care isn’t selfish, the “airplane mask” mentality, starting small, battling mom guilt, and why our kids need to see us take care of ourselves.This is your reminder that motherhood may shape you, but it doesn’t erase you.You deserve rest. You deserve joy. You deserve to feel like you again.So tune in and let's dive into a bit of our self-care!

Yes, I'm a mom.Yes, I'm tired.Yes, I still travel, chase dreams, and build the life I love. Because motherhood isn't the end...it's a new beginning. On today's episode we are talking about navigating motherhood while straying ambitious, chasing goals, and showing our kids what's possible.We can love our babies deeply and live fully.Tune in to hear about what I have to say about this journey so far!

After six years away, I’m back behind the mic with a brand new story to tell. Life has been full...marriage, motherhood, challenges, growth, and milestones that shaped me in ways I never expected. In this comeback episode, I’m sharing where I’ve been and where this podcast is headed.This season is all about honesty, raw conversations, and navigating the beautiful chaos of life. From finding my identity again to exploring motherhood and new life chapters, I’m bringing every lesson, laugh, and breakdown to this space. And I won’t be doing it alone because I'll have friends from all walks of life who will join me in sharing their truths too.Thanks for being here. Welcome to the new era. This is Doing Life With Diane 2.0!

Hey guys! 2020 is here and I can't wait to touch base on some of the topics that you guys have been asking me about. This topic regarding social media and relationships came up when I posted a little something on my Instagram speaking up about how I felt with those who fabricate their lives on social media. Listen to me ramble once again and let me know what else you would like for me to touch base on next time! I know I need to tweak some stuff with my audio, but we'll get it down next time! 

2019 is about to end and 2020 is around the corner. What are some things that you guys have accomplished this year? What have you been grateful for? I've recently found out how truly powerful controlling our mind can be and have been practicing how to turn negative situations into a positive thing! Not doing a podcast in awhile sure made me rusty, let me not go on such a long break again! 

Oh my gosh. It's been a MINUTE since I've had a podcast. Life has been crazy and your girl is finally MARRIED! Here are a few questions that have been asked quite often since the big day. Hope you guys enjoy! Stay tuned for more! 

Hi friends! I'm sorry I have not been able to deliver weekly podcasts, but it has been crazy with my allergies going all over the place. Coughing 24/7 does a girl no justice..especially when she needs her voice to do podcasts! Figured that my first podcast back needs to be something DOPE AF and here I am with the Fiance to deliver that. I've been getting DMs about certain things that people would like for me to talk about and thought that it would be nice to do something with Mr. Nguyen so y'll can get a different perspective and also to see how our dynamic is! Hope you guys enjoy! It's a long one this time!
