About Diane
Hi, I’m Diane – and I’m so glad you’re here
This space was born from the ashes of my own breakdown,a moment in life I never saw coming. Like many women, I found myself sitting in the wreckage of what once looked like love, safety, and stability… but what had actually been control, emotional erosion, and a relationship that slowly stripped me of my identity.
The day it ended felt like a crash landing.
Unexpected. Violent. And eerily silent.
No one had handed me a survival manual. There were no guides, no step-by-step instructions on how to pull yourself out of emotional wreckage when your heart has been shattered and your confidence is a distant memory.
So, I wrote one.
Not with perfect answers, but with lived experience. Through A Girlfriends’ Guide to the Other Side, I’ve created the kind of resource I desperately needed. One that meets you where you are, messy, raw, confused, and walks with you to where you want to be: whole, grounded, and powerful again.
My mission? To help women like you reclaim your mind, body, and soul after narcissistic abuse, divorce, or trauma.
Healing isn’t linear. Some days you’ll feel like you’ve made it out of the storm. Other days, the waves will come crashing back. But I promise you this: it gets better. And you don’t have to go through it alone.
In this space, you’ll find:
Compassionate, real-talk resources for healing from relational trauma
Weekly inspiration through my newsletter, Rise Weekly
A course designed to rebuild your life with purpose and power
A community that gets it, because we’ve been there too
A few things I believe:
You’re not broken, you’re rebuilding
Boundaries are an act of self-love
Thriving is your birthright, not just surviving
You get to choose what your life looks like from here
This isn’t just about healing. It’s about rising.
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’ve been through more than most people can imagine. And still, you’re searching, learning, open to growth. That makes you powerful beyond belief.
Whether you're just beginning to process what happened or you’re already on the road to rebuilding, my hope is that you find something here that lights your way.
Let’s rise together.
With love,
Diane
