💡 Episode Summary:

If you’ve ever felt like trying to lead change in healthcare is like pushing a boulder uphill...with one hand tied behind your back...you’re not alone.

In this episode, I introduce the LISTEN Framework—a simple, six-step rhythm that’s helping slightly rebel-spirited healthcare leaders drive real change from the inside out. It’s not theory. It’s not fluff. It’s the kind of people-first, ground-up process that works in messy, complex systems.

If you're craving a way to lead that doesn't drain your soul, this episode is for you.

• Why most change efforts fail (and how LISTEN fixes that)

• How to lead from a place of truth, clarity, and connection

• The six LISTEN steps and how to apply them in your world

• What grassroots leadership really looks like (hint: it’s relational, not rushed)

• How small, meaningful actions can ripple out into system-wide change

• L – Listen to what’s underneath the noise

• I – Involve people from the start, not just at the end

• S – Strengthen what’s already working

• T – Take Action in small, real-world ways

• E – Evaluate with honesty and curiosity

• N – Nurture relationships, culture, and momentum

If you’ve ever felt like a misfit in the healthcare system—too intense, too outspoken, too heart-led—this episode is for you. You’ll hear Diane’s personal story of being a round peg in a square hole, and how she discovered she wasn’t broken… she was awakening.

Diane unpacks the 3 powerful archetypes of awakened healthcare leaders:

• 🗣️ Truth Tellers

• 🔥 Fire Starters

• 🌉 Bridge Builders

These are the rebels with heart. The ones who feel deeply, see clearly, and refuse to look away.

If you’ve ever felt like the problem… this episode will remind you that you’ve been the solution all along.

🎙️ Episode 7 — How to Help Others Find Alignment—Without Losing Your Own

Are you a heart-led leader who wants to help others, but you’re tired of carrying the weight of everyone’s pain?

Do you find yourself caught between supporting your team, clients, or community… and trying not to burn out again?

This episode is for you.

In today’s powerful conversation, we explore what it means to support others in finding alignment, without sacrificing your own peace, energy, or truth in the process.

You’ll hear:

• Why your presence matters more than your performance

• What it means to lead from alignment (especially in a broken system)

• How to hold space for others without absorbing their chaos

• Why “you’re not too much—you’re just awake” is the truth every changemaker needs

• How to shift from fixing to modelling… and why that’s where the real power is

Whether you’re leading a healthcare team, supporting a struggling friend, or holding space in a stressed-out system, this episode will remind you of your power, your purpose, and your right to stay rooted in your truth.

💙 You’re not here to carry everyone.
You’re here to lead from alignment and invite others to come home to themselves.
