Summary

Themes: Transformation, Awareness, Relationships, Breakups, Self Worth   Summary:  Today’s guest slid into my DM’s with a story of transformation so inspiring that I had to have her on to share her experience. Right before the pandemic, Diana Davis Dyer left her nine year relationship with her fiancé. With plans to be married in May 2020, she felt they were both individually functioning in darkness and that a "forever" like that was terrifying. Having never sat down to decide what kind of future and family she wanted, Diana felt so unsure of who she was and where she was going that a commitment so concrete scared her and prompted a life-changing decision to leave her relationship. After moving out and living with a friend for six months, Diana discovered my work and completed my seven day Relationship Starter Course (formerly Relationships 101) and in Diana's words, "It changed me. It let me RE-WRITE and RE-CREATE my narrative. In those days and the days after, I returned to love. And on his own, my partner did too. We came back together (with lots of work that is never-ending), got married in January 2021, and our love now is stronger, way more fun, deeper and brighter. While an immense bout of heartbreak and pain was inflicted on both of us during those 6 months, what came out of it was worth it. I wouldn't change leaving for a heartbeat, because it wouldn't have lead to this amazing love we now have." If you've struggled with a similar situation, aren't sure what you deserve or haven't sat down and thought about the love and the life you want, this episode is for you. I love for people to hear other’s stories of growth so we can see not only what’s possible for ourselves, but how to get there. I hope this episode plants a seed of hope or possibility and inspires you to keep going down the path of becoming all of who you are.   Discover: Why Diana called off her engagement and the inner work she did to facilitate a reunion with her partner How to trust yourself, your innate wisdom and your journey The power of honouring your heart, choosing yourself and the self-worth that follows How painful experiences are necessary on our path to growth The importance of uncovering the narratives that run our lives to understand why we are the way we are and why we choose what we choose   Links: Relationships Starter Course: A seven-day deep dive into a better understanding of relationships. (Formerly Relationships 101) Dating 101: A four week course to work on your relational awareness and get into alignment with your dream partner Instagram: @dianadavisdyer Check out Diana's directorial debut JANE: A short film about an assassin that witnesses a violent act at a motel and gives the victim a chance to exact revenge.

I want you to take a moment right now, because we so seldom do this, to acknowledge yourself.

0:19.5

Just take a deep breath.

0:24.5

Okay. to acknowledge yourself. Just take a deep breath. What are you proud of yourself for?

0:28.3

What are you proud of about yourself and who you are and who you have become?

You know, whether you're in the storm or you just made it out or you feel like you just started it,

0:42.3

you just entered it. Just acknowledging that we're always sort of in the middle of the story,

0:47.8

you know. It feels like one page just turned and we're facing something new or we're getting

0:54.1

to the end of a page and we don't

0:55.4

know what's on the next one.

0:58.0

And, you know, whenever I'm stuck and I don't really know what to do, I sort of look up at the

1:03.7

sky and just open my arms up and say, show me the way, I'll walk it.

1:09.0

Just show me the next step.

1:11.2

And so much in the human mind, we want the path. I want to see the way. I'll walk it. Show me the next step. And so much in the human mind, we want the path.

1:13.9

I want to see the destination. I want to see that it all works out.

1:17.1

I want to see that there's joy at the end.

1:20.2

And it doesn't work that way, unfortunately.

1:23.6

I do think that there's a North Star that calls from our soul that says,

1:28.1

Go this way. Say this thing.

1:32.8

Face this thing.

1:34.8

End this thing. Start this thing.

There's always these small nudges from the universe.
