About Our Guest

After two decades as a successful psychotherapist, Diann reinvented herself as a coach, so she could shift the conversation from problems to possibilities. She passionately believes that midlife is the most powerful if we are truly willing to let go of whatever is holding us back.

Since turning 40, Diann spent a decade as a single parent, raising her three children to adulthood, learned to drive a stick shift, embraced Buddhism, traveled the world, gone skydiving, studied German, remarried, been tattooed, changed careers and started her own business.

Now in her 6th decade, Diann is continuing to learn, evolve and defy her own limits, while helping others do the same. She has a particular fondness for coaching the “driven but distracted” over 50 entrepreneur and has extensive experience and expertise in women who discover that they have ADHD at midlife.
