Fantastic starting block for the week
Somehow Diana’s guests and questions always resonate and apply to what is going on in my week. The questions are impactful and never feel scripted. Diana makes me better at asking and answering questions too! I give feedback to and receive feedback from men every day and it is refreshing to hear how other women have approached this — removing obstacles that may be holding them back — and how I can do the same.
Amazing Podcast!!!
