She's got her own podcast She's got a retreat coming up and a lot of experience wisdom tips to share on the entrepreneurial journey So I think I'll enjoy this interview and Diane. Thanks for Doing this while it's late over there for you, but thanks for showing up. Oh, you're welcome. That's fun to be here with you I love it. Yeah. So Diane What I'll do is first I'm gonna actually have you introduce yourself Because you've got a lot going on and you've written several books You I mean here I am introducing you Have worked with some superstars in terms of performers and athletes and kind of Coaching mentoring them in in the mindset sort of personal transformation area But I'll let you share what how you would like to present yourself in terms of what kind of work you do with people and Yeah, what do you love to talk about in your books and in your retreats and in your content. Oh We could go on for a long time that I Guess that the most important thing that hits me is I consider myself in an intuitive counselor mentor person I lead with my intuition Followed with my academic Knowledge-based and so it's like a holistic thing, but it's not the typical mind-body-spirited encompasses much more than that And so whenever I'm working with somebody my intuition is Where I'm going with them in fact I just finished the session with someone and all it was about was what was I getting intuitively to help them so Normally, that's how I operate and then I also have things where I have the science to back it up And those kinds of things because my clients are people who overthink who are Have a really great life usually already and want to either up their game or there's a challenge that kind of is Threading through their life that it keeps annoying them in all these different areas And they haven't been able to sort out that thing and I'm a genius at helping them find that thing And then sorting out how to not have it have like a rub in their saddle so to speak, you know So that's what I do. And so I do it in lots of different ways if you're right I just in fact my next book is at the printer now was uploaded today Out of edits and so that's book. I think number five or six and My retreats coming up. I do an annual retreat focus to help people really like up level their game So it's all about visioning and I use my intuition. So all of my events and everything I do is a one-off because It's who's in the room and and what the energy is and and what gets brought to the table that that's what makes it so exciting Yeah, and people love it people come back year after year. Yes, that's great that okay, so Share with us. I mean, there's so much you could you could share but I mean you have Of course, obviously you've created a services business. You do, you know counseling consulting mentoring However, you would call that and then you also have books that you sell you also do an in-person retreat You also have a podcast and you have Facebook page So what have you what have you learned over the years by your business of what what would you like to highlight today? What I would like to highlight I think the most thing that I've learned especially working with you and I say this to everybody I know I use your name a lot not in vain though. I Say that you talk about being authentic. It's you know authentic business coach And I believe in authenticity but I think in over the time that I've been around you and other people in your group and your circle and of course I'm one of them is taking that authenticity to a More pure level Like I was authentic before but for me just to introduce myself as an intuitive counselor person I didn't say that before because that's really who I am and there was that part of me that was always holding that piece back or Saying what I thought was the acceptable thing Whatever that meant and I had all these ideas and all these beliefs that were not fully accurate They weren't wrong. They just weren't fully accurate. So the moment I kind of kept peeling off all these layers and every phone call and every Every interaction with any of your content or any of the authentic kinds of things with other people in MasterHeart I'm like, well, what's digging deeper deep? What's deeper? Let's get get another veil off so to speak and so then I put on my LinkedIn that I was intuitive impact, which I am And people started calling me because they want to be on my podcast and they want to connect with me and people are looking for the very gift I possessed That I didn't even give any credence to because it's always been me So I didn't realize that so I that really was a huge epiphany for me and it really was a turning point And it stopped a lot of struggle And as far as what to put out when and how and all of that Wow, I love that. Thank you for sharing that example. It's So true that we typically present ourselves In what we have been trained to be a socially acceptable way and with the internet Especially I mean if you were building a business in a small village You know, you could not leave that small those and all your clients have to come from that small You kind of have to present yourself in the way that the you know, your fellow villagers won't like run away Right, because that's all you have but with the internet you have the entire world of Hundreds of millions of internet use what billions actually the internet users but hundreds of millions that you could easily reach through social media and You know, it's like whatever you are cannot you're willing to authentically say step into is that this is who I am There is going to be somebody out there who says oh my god You're exactly who I've been looking for, you know, and in fact, it sounds like you either you already have had a network of people who've been kind of You know looking at your work and when you when you step into oh, I'm an intuitive empath intuitive counselor people That's right. That's that's what I sense about you and that's so true. And yes, I want to work with you So I love that. Thank you for thank you for sharing uh, what else what else have you what's what else is kind of alive for you right now in terms of business learnings and Any encouragement for entrepreneurs? Well, I think that being an entrepreneur is the most amazing thing on the planet And I think a lot of people become entrepreneurs by accident. They're not planning it But entrepreneurs have the best brains and and fast thinking and excitement about them And there's a passion of life. It's different. So anybody Wonders if they are an entrepreneur or not an entrepreneur if they're wondering the answers. Yes, of course um And so then it's just time to to step into it, you know, I think that anybody can start from anywhere I mean, I started my business six years ago with less than five hundred dollars And I'm two of the years of the six I've made six figures. It's been real up and down um And a lot of it's been my own shifting and growing but overall Everything is wonderful and beautiful. I have a retreat coming up with some people who who've come to everyone up It's the sixth annual. They've been all six And if I you know, they follow me around I don't it's I didn't know why now. I know why You know And so I think I think it's an amazing thing to be able to bring our gift And have the forum now in the world to say this is the cool thing that god gave me and this is the gift I'm bringing and so let's everybody share in the Luster of it all let's everybody share in the beauty of each one of our amazing gifts. Like I there's nothing better than that I don't I just can't imagine doing anything different Great By the way earlier that was my my dog buddy barking So sorry So I'd love for you to share with the audience a little bit about a little bit of what you Teach your clients or or or maybe it's something you're going to teach at the retreat I mean we could talk with you for you know eight hours straight. I'm sure but What's something what's a nugget that you think is particularly useful for people when you share it either Well, it could be something on your podcast as well I think the the Thing that pops it in right away is the whole idea of being aware and aligned Like a a right like having awareness like real awareness not like oh awareness real awareness Awareness of ourself and our own role of things and awareness of what's going on Like I call it playing heads up ball like paying attention and like that deeper awareness And and with it a perfect alignment Mind body soul and social world agenda all of it of having such an alignment that where lays are like focused on Whatever the task is And what I see with everybody that I work with They tend to be distracted and not fully aware And the moment we bring into awareness. Okay, what's what's happening without judgment of good or bad or right or wrong I don't use any of that. It's just what is it like what are we looking at here? And then how can we be inner aligned in order to bring out and emerge into the world the perfect solution Or the perfect next thing whatever that is And so those are like my two big things like my my retreat this year is called take me out of my head And it's to help people who think a lot really get into that deeper awareness and know when they're connected And know it know it and their soul so that when they're in a board meeting or they're flying or they're doing something They know And when anyone comes from that inner authenticity in that level of integrity You can't lose you know There's no option. So those are my big things I always start there and most of the time people are not aligned They think aligned means mentally focused and it does not it means that emotionally and spiritually And mentally everything's going together in line like floating down the river, right? And many many people don't have that alignment Even you know people who are doing really well in some areas that's where a lot of times the rub is if not being satisfied fully Is not having alignment So tell us more about that. What what do you mean by alignment? You mentioned some of the spiritual social things, but maybe kind of talk us through that a little bit there Alignment it for me the way I use it is Does your face look like how your insides feel? Does your spirit? The animating spirit part of us Give you goosebumps when you get all excited. Is it all like clicks in? It's like like like just happened to be when I did it Where all parts of our being our mind our spiritual mind our ideas our expression our actions and our words All are very together Everything that there's not a contradiction when I'm not saying I am a great Intuitive counselor out loud to you and then in my head saying well not really or if only they know or well That's not really it. That's not aligned Right, it would be aligned if I say that to you and in my authority in my authenticity spiritually And soul wise and emotionally it all is true like a deeper truth So that's what I mean by alignment where it's all there like when I look at your face and I look at your demeanor And I watch how you're carrying your body And what's coming out of your mouth and how it all looks face color everything doesn't line up and Awareness is what you're saying is yes the first step to that. Yes. So Of course a lot of us have heard mindfulness Uh, maybe some of us meditate or some some of us journal or something. So What do you what do you say about awareness? I mean, how does how does that happen? Well awareness is to me has lots of different levels to it And it's kind of everything from paying attention to what you're thinking about because every thought's a prayer and every prayer is answered So if I say five thoughts that are positive and I'm going and then you know a whole bunch more that aren't Then I'm getting mixed messages, right? So There's that piece of it There's awareness of That deeper part of okay. How how is everything coming together for me from the inside out? right And so I I teach a lot about how to be aware how to pay attention Pay attention to your thoughts pay attention to Your feelings paying attention to what you're doing. I give a homework assignment to teach people how to start being blind and aware That's fun, especially for people who are stoic who are living from their neck up and everything's in their head And they they can't get in their heart very easily, but they want to I call it facial aerobics and I tell them to go stay in front of a mirror And make all the funny faces. They can as fast as they can rule like that and make themselves laugh And doing that Helps them get more aware like when I made my face this way or I smile that way or I frown or I make my eyes look down Or I make the scoopy face or I move my body. This is what it is doing And this is how it's affecting me so that then when they're in a real-life situation, they're able to orchestrate their body move it in a certain way or watch their face to make sure they don't look Like they have a scowl on their face and they're mad and really they're just thinking You know, so they don't get misunderstood That's great. That's so few people talk about that and I really appreciate you bringing that up Thank you. Thank you for that so The kind of work let's talk about the work that you do with people You For anybody who's interested in Diane's work, you know, go to her website, of course vision supplied.

Um, and canada right now Actually, I had somebody recently I worked within sweden. So I use zoom a lot And I do a lot of work with people however they want to i'm very flexible I have one client of mine that flies in to see me For a long weekend every three or four months because he doesn't want to deal with the zoom thing Because he's not from the city I have another client the one I travel with my my musician that I work with he um We travel and we use zoom and we use facetime and we do whatever combination suits him I accept people to for me to work with that I really believe want the service and want to grow And so I devote my my full attention to them So I I pay very close attention to my own alignment in that to make sure that when I talk to somebody For the my first phone call that I truly can offer something to them that's of great value So a lot of a lot of it on zoom some people come to see me sometimes I go see them I'm going to see a client in november is in arizona And so I'll be gone from florida for a few days to be in arizona working with that client, but then all my other Virtual people I'll still see That's great. That's great. It's fun. Yeah. Yeah amazing. Um And You mentioned this before but like what do you see as kind of a thread of Um, the clients that you just find that has the most impact you have the most impact on was You mentioned overthinking but say say more about that The clients that I that I work with the best that I really see that that me walking into their life was a great thing And them finding me was great. Are the people who? tend to be very contemplative yet very open minded and teachable And also have their own sense of who they are So there's There's something to work with in that sense. It's just not like I'm in a place where I don't really know what I'm doing so they have that sense and They love to go on a journey because I am predictably unpredictable and not even I know it's going to happen next A lot of the times because I am so intuitive and I do go by that That we could think we're going to talk about a certain topic and then if I get intuitive hit that something else is going on Or let's talk about this I will not shield it from them. I will say it to them and I will say well Let's look at this because this is what's coming through so they have to be that flexible and understand that When you live in the intuitive world, there's a lot of diversity and there's a lot of surprises for everybody Um, I've never had an intuitive hit that came through that was Sad or upset or you know upset, you know was harmful in any way or upset somebody it's mostly been Messages of go for it stand in the spotlight, you know, stand in your authority Who you are is perfect tolling complete and I'm the jumper cables to remind you of that so that you can go be As cool and awesome as you want to be and know that somebody's got your back It's great So as we end this interview is there any other kind of Hardening words of encouragement or advice you want to offer the those who are watching I think the the best thing I can say is keep your face to the sun and surround yourself with people who understand you who get you And don't be shy and don't be ashamed of that to find your people And be one of that group of those that people And immerse yourself in people who support you With what you're doing because if it's your heart's desire And you feel it with every cell of your being it's meant to happen and don't listen to any of the naysayers Talk to the people who'll help show you what to do and ask you the right questions instead of Try to tell you how not to do it Thank you Diane.
