What if your next chapter could be your most powerful yet? In this episode, Diane Woodford shares how she rewired—not retired—after a fulfilling career in healthcare and education. With vibrant energy and deep wisdom, she unpacks the origin story of her voice, her shift from nursing to teaching, and how everything in life prepares us for what comes next.
We talk about what it means to live in service without burning out, why honoring your inner voice matters, and how her newest book, Aftercare: Finding Peace Beyond Trauma, was born from trauma, healing, and a mission to help others find peace. We also dive into how the Love Drops Podcast began as a pandemic project and became a global storytelling platform.
Whether you’re stepping into something new or just wondering what’s next, Diane’s story is a reminder that you can keep leaping—with love, light, and purpose.
