Wise Effort with Dr. Diana Hill is a show about how to live wisely.
You’ll learn how to put your energy into places that matter most to you while making a difference in the world.
This show is for you because:
- You are a high achiever who knows how to get things done, but you're getting burned out by overfilling your plate with stuff that doesn't matter to you.
- You want to put your energy in places that feed you. You have a lot of heart to give, but the way you are giving isn’t sustainable.
- You are interested in more holistic ways of living but don't want just another wellness checklist that will make you feel bad when you don't complete it.
- You care about the factors that impact your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
- You are interested in science but not so rigidly attached to research to explore the edges of the mystery of spirituality and contemplative practice.
- You’re open-minded and have a beginner's mind.
- Most importantly, you believe deep down inside that there's a better way to do this, and you are ready to put some of your wisdom into practice.
We don’t have to burn ourselves out or engage in things that are not worth it. We can put our energy where it matters most and savor the good along the way.

Dr. Diana wraps up each episode with small tangible actions we can take right away to bring more goodness into our lives. Her approach stands out from other interviewers in that she is consistently tying together cutting-edge psychological research with ancient spiritual practice and the smarts, warmth, humor, and reliability of a fellow human navigating modern life. Thank you and bravo!
