The biggest barrier to your success is you.
In this episode, Diana breaks down what she calls the Authentic Power to W.E.A.L.T.H.™ strategy—showing why chasing money, status, or validation without alignment is a losing game.
You’ll learn what it truly means to build from the inside out, how to reclaim the kind of power that can’t be taken away, and the W.E.A.L.T.H. acronym that redefines what it means to live in divine abundance.
It’s not about what you have—it’s about who you are.
💬 “I can’t be perfect, and I won’t strive for perfection. My worth is anchored in God, and if He says I’m worthy, that’s all I need.”
That’s freedom— and it’s yours too.
This conversation is for every woman who’s tired of performing, tired of proving, and ready to breathe.
Tune in to this episode of the Rise with Diana Podcast featuring Guest Kathryn Tucker and discover what really happens when you put the weight down!
“I was living under this facade that I had to have it all together…”
But here’s the truth: real confidence isn’t built behind a mask.
On this week’s Rise with Diana episode, I sit down with—professional speaker, 2x TEDx speaker, and award-winning author— Simone Knego, to unpack the truth about confidence.
Spoiler: it’s not about perfection.

In this raw and powerful episode, Diana opens up about her breaking point—the moment when burnout broke her body, spirit, and voice. She shares the story of how a vacation didn’t fix her burnout… but restoration did.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just need to get away,” but return feeling just as drained… this is for you.
Diana introduces the concept of a SOULcation—a journey not to a destination, but back to yourself.
Tune in as she explores:
- The hidden signs of deep burnout
- Why high-achieving women often ignore their own cries for help
- How restoration and faith work hand in hand
- The power of therapy, breathing, prayer, and declaring: Restoration is mine
This episode is an invitation to get honest: Do you want to be well… or just pretend you are?
The real problem isn’t just the bias you face — it’s the old narratives you’ve internalized about who you are because of it.
My sis, you’re carrying something you were never meant to hold.
Today, I’m sharing a raw story about my time at Dana Corporation and the weight I carried until I realized the truth: You don’t have to live under someone else’s label.
It’s time to surrender the narratives, dismiss the lies, and show up in your full authority. Let’s talk about who you really are — and why you’re already more powerful than you think.

Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, stuck in the routine of daily life, feeling disconnected from your soul and who you really are?
I know I sure have…and ignoring that feeling led me into a deep depression during the year of 2020. I was lost, trapped in a cycle of doing instead of being, and at the time I didn’t even know if I would-- or wanted to --make it through.
I wish I would have known then, what I know now…
In this episode of the Rise with Diana Podcast, we’re diving into your AI - Authentic Intelligence—the spiritual intelligence, knowing and power that God has placed inside of you.
The world conditions us to turn it off, to rely on external systems, and to ignore the creative power within. But you were designed by God to CREATE, to THINK, and to CONNECT.
Sure Artificial Intelligence is great, but It’s not YOU. And if you would just get quiet and centered enough to tap into and reignite your own authentic intelligence, you would see the limits we’re so quick to impose on ourselves fall off one by one.
Here’s the truth: You have the ability to break free.
You don’t have to live disconnected. It’s time to wake up, take back your mind, and step into the intelligence you were created with.

HEY SIS, what are you waiting for?
Oh, you thought they were going to let you know when you could have the floor to speak, step up and show up as your most authentic self?
Girl…PLEASE.
Too often, we wait for someone to empower us, when in reality, God has already imprinted power within us. You don’t need permission. You don’t need to seek it outside of yourself.
So how do you step into your God given power?
In this week's episode of the Rise with Diana Podcast, we’ll introduce you to the Path to Power, Purpose and Connection. This framework is built on three primary rings; Character, awareness and influence. You can’t master one without the other, and you need a bit of P.A.S.S.I.O.N to make it all come together.✨

Sis, let’s talk about it---are you letting fear of judgement hold you back from doing your greatest work?
We tend to be SO concerned and worried about what people “might” say about us that we’re willing to sacrifice doing and saying what we KNOW is right. But at what cost? And for who?
Here's the thing: What people do or don’t say has NOTHING to do with YOU.
They’ll talk about you when you do, and they’ll talk about you when you don’t…So let’s AT LEAST give them something to talk about and stand proudly in our truth as we do it.
🎧Listen in as Diana breaks down why their words are none of your business and how to embrace the courage to step into your power.💪🏽
