MEET DANA S. DIAZ

HIGH ENERGY MOTIVATIONAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER | EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE EXPERT | AUTHOR

Dana S. Diaz is a bestselling author, speaker, podcaster and abuse recovery coach. Her memoir trilogy, GASPING FOR AIR, CHOKING ON SHAME, and RISING FROM THE ASHES, was inspired by her lifelong experience with abuse and domestic violence and the healing journey she was led on as a result. Dana has been featured on nearly 300 podcasts worldwide. She speaks to live groups and in online summits centered around women’s empowerment and wellness and also co-leads a healing workshop for women.

A self-proclaimed “Swiftie,” Dana can be found singing along (terribly) to Taylor Swift’s music, when she’s not playing with her cats Gizmo and Turbo. She still wears her gray Converse shoes and drives her dark purple Toyota FJ Cruiser; and looks forward to beach vacations with her husband Doug between real estate investment projects.
