and relationships

 Have you ever wondered how childhood experiences shape your life, health, and relationships? 
 
 Join us as we navigate this intriguing exploration with Diana Bishop, a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Certified Wellness Practitioner, and Trauma Therapist who offers a candid look into her life, recovery, and the transformative power of understanding trauma. 
 
 Diana’s healing journey, her expertise in health behavior change, and her partnerships with Dr. Vincent Fellitti for over 15 years in various capacities, including the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study.
 
 In our conversation, we deeply dive into the ACE score— a measure of adverse childhood experiences, its health implications, and how it ultimately informs our coping mechanisms and susceptibility to addictions and illness. Diana affirms the importance of the mind-body connection and how it can enhance our physical and mental health care. 
 
 Lastly, you’ll hear how emotions like grief can quietly take residence within us and how crucial resources can aid those affected by trauma in rebuilding neurological connectors and fostering healthy relationships. Tune in for an enlightening exploration that promises to empower.

About Me: For the last 20+ years I've had a flourishing business career which has taken me around the world. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and everything changed. I lost my husband, Ross, in 2014 and just three years later I lost my son, Cole, at age 26 - both to suicide.

After these devastating losses I was faced with a choice. I had to find purpose through despair, or I had to throw in the towel.
I chose purpose. While I enjoyed my business prior to losing Ross and Cole, I knew that this next chapter was calling me to rise to a new level that would make an impact on more people, on a larger scale. I want to help those who feel lost in this world without a purpose, and those who have lost someone tragically or unexpectedly and are now faced with the same decision I faced in 2017.

I am on a mission to save 1 million lives from suicide by helping youth, adults, and parents decipher their life vision and purpose.

I hope you'll join me.
