Manage episode 418560459 series 3540875
Welcome to another inspiring episode of Live Stoked Lead Stoked. Today we’re diving deep into a story of transformation and resilience with our incredible guest, Diane Schroeder. From battalion chief to harnessing the power of personal coaching, Diane opens up about her journey of living authentically and aligning with her core values of joy, connection, and authenticity. We discuss the tough transitions, the emotional toll of emergency service work, and the crucial turning points that led both Diane and myself to pivot away from firefighting towards new paths that honor our true selves.
Meet Diane:
The Fire Inside Her, LLC started as a blog and space where I could share my experiences and heal my broken parts. Learning to become my authentic self through connection, self-care, and community was the key to my healing.
I quickly learned that I was not alone and started to meet travelers on the journey to authenticity—women in the busy, messy, lonely, and stressful phase of life. But we weren’t discussing it, so I started taking the uncomfortable.
Then 2020 kicked everyone in the softies, adding to the mental load of an already overfull plate. The worst part is that one of the most important things we needed was community and connection, and we couldn’t be around people.
