The Diane McClay Show - Empowering Life Through Choice

As women, we juggle many demands from our work environments, personal lives, and the communities The feelings of being undervalued, unappreciated, and unheard can often create a sense of unbalanced restlessness.

This show is for you if you are secretly unhappy and know or feel like you can't stay where you are. We are here to help you create the plan, implement the strategy, and actualize your vision.

Resistance is a natural part of getting stuck and getting unstuck. On one hand, we get stuck because we create emotional resistance to things that are new, scary, or just plain out of our comfort zone. On the other hand, like a bike chain that connects the front gears to the back gears on a bike,...

As the leaves and temperature fall, nature intuitively turns inward and prepares to sustain itself through winter. Bears hibernate. Trees return energy and food to their underground root storage system. Seeds and nuts are stored in the ground and birds migrate to a place where they can sustain life.

Energetically, it is a natural time for humans to follow nature's intuition and turn inward to create our own level of care and sust...

Let's face it- we ALL run into things that knock us down or off of our pathway to joy and happiness.
It doesn't matter how prepared you think you are, $**t happens and sometimes it takes the wind out of our sails and keeps us from living the live we want to live.

So how do you make your way back to happy when feel depleted, numb and knocked down?
How do you break off relationships that don't move you forward?

Being Crazy Good at something isn't the same as having crazy good.



We all have something unique and special that the world needs to experience. But sometimes our brilliance doesn't shine exactly when we want or the way we want. Maybe you aren't sure what step to take, or you aren't sure how to get started. That's why you need someone who can see your light and see your amazing talents in ways you haven't thought of.



Do you have an ...

When we started his show, we did so unattached to any particular outcome other than to spark thought and contemplation around a broader perspective; how a shift in perspective can affect meaningful change in our lives - individually and collectively speaking.

Fast forward to a year and a half into the SHIFT - 30 episodes! - and we want to be more intentional with the direction we are headed, for ourselves and our growing listening ...

We can't fully see something when we are in it. Whether the "it" is a situation, environment, relationship dynamic, belief systems, the stories of illusion we live in, or something else.

When we are enmeshed in something, the perspective is not always clear.

There is an attachment emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually or any combination of these. We might remain in situations that are not serving us any longer because we ...

The ABC's....

We learned them at a young age in primary school and they became the foundation of the words and thoughts we use to express ourselves.

But somewhere between childhood and adulting, things got complicated and our purest dreams and intuition got drowned out by the noise of an ever-evolving world around us.

In the depth of our soul, we know things we can be happier, feel healthier and more fulfilled, and we know we can d...

Last year at this time, our show was about independence, and celebrating independence - why do we celebrate and what are we celebrating when not everyone has the same freedoms?

Are we simply going through the motions because that's how we have always done things? So as not to disrupt the status quo? Or are we actively choosing how we are living life and taking personal responsibility to create a better world with the individual cho...

When was the last time you said yes to doing something important to you?

If you are the kind of person who is always in service to others, it's likely that you've created a habit of always saying yes to the requests of othes, even if, deep down inside, you don't really want to.

Perhaps you don't want to disappoint the person who is asking for the favor. Perhaps you don't want to feel bad or guilty for saying no. Maybe you feel l...
