In this solo episode, I consider what I wish I could have told my younger self when I was just starting out as an entrepreneur.

Diana Hernandez Wayne is a Mindset & Manifestation Intuitive Empowerment Coach. After losing two of her sisters 15 months apart, one to cancer, and one by suicide, and with severe depression, she made a prayer: 'God, send me a life coach.' That prayer changed everything and after 6 months of coaching, she was better. The anxiety and depression loosened its grips and sparked a desire to help others the way to heal, create, and thrive in life! Diana is a Master NLP Practioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and trained in Neuroscience for Business from MIT Sloan. After 20 years in Corporate America, where she worked for Fortunate 500 companies, Diana became an Executive Coach, where she is on a mission to help women and people of color break the glass ceiling and get into the executive suite. Diana’s coaching style incorporates her professional and personal development expertise, with the intersections of neuroscience, manifestation, and universal laws to coach her clients through loss, careers changes, and relationships. She lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband Toby.
