THRIVING AS DESIGNED COACHING

Hi, I’m Diana, and I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to question your worth, and to wonder if there’s more to life than just going through the motions. I’ve been there. As a military veteran, a military spouse, a mom, and a woman who has walked through seasons of uncertainty, I understand the weight of feeling like your role defines your identity. But here’s the truth—your worth isn’t tied to what you do; it’s in who you are.
That’s why I created Thriving as Designed—a coaching space where women like you can rediscover your strengths, dream again, and step into the life God has for you with confidence. Through faith-based coaching, leadership development, and personal growth tools like Gallup StrengthsFinder and Maxwell DISC assessments, I help women break free from the mindset that keeps them feeling stuck.
Whether you’ve put your dreams on hold, feel lost in the demands of life, or just need someone to remind you of the incredible woman God created you to be, I’m here for you. You were designed to thrive—not just survive. Let’s take that next step together.
Are you ready? Let’s do this!
Get to Know ME
A bit of my journey
At just 17, barely speaking English and driven by a deep sense of duty and adventure, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as a combat medic. It was an experience that shaped me in ways I never could have imagined. Military life taught me resilience, adaptability, and the power of persevering.
While navigating the challenges of military service, I pursued my education, earning a B.A. in Elementary Education—a testament to my belief that learning and growth should never stop.
For over 20 years, I’ve also embraced the role of a military spouse, moving across the country, supporting my husband in leadership roles, and raising our three amazing boys. Life as a military family wasn’t always easy, but it was filled with love, challenges, and moments that strengthened our faith. When my husband was ill during service, I stepped into the role of caregiver—one of the toughest yet most rewarding callings I’ve answered.
That experience led me to serve others in similar situations. As a Peer Leader and mentor for Wounded Warrior Project, I help fellow caregivers and veterans find strength, hope, and purpose despite the obstacles they face.
But my journey didn’t stop there. I earned a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and became certified as a Life Coach, a Gallup Strengths Coach, and a Maxwell DISC Behavioral Analysis Trainer. I knew I wanted to use everything I had learned—both in life and in education—to empower others.
That’s why I created Thriving as Designed Coaching. I believe every woman has a unique design, a purpose, and the ability to thrive. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or unsure of your next step, I want you to know—you are not alone. I see you. I’ve been there. And I’m here to walk this journey with you.
