This week, Ang is joined by Diane Schroeder, life coach, TED talker and host of ’The Fire Inside Her’ podcast. Diane’s mission is to help growth focused humans create a plan to navigate life transitions. But, the story of how Diane arrived at this mission is fascinating. In this interview with Ang, she recounts how a career in the fire service, a traumatic divorce and fixing up a new house all lead her to fix herself and, in turn, give her the power and confidence to help others fix themselves.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Diane chose not to go to college in order to stay home and care for her sick grandmother, which led her to get a job locally, as a firefighter. However, as she explains to Ang, after 25 years she took the brave move to leave that career behind and pursue her dreams
- Prior to leaving her job, Diane went through a traumatic divorce, which led her to being a single, working parent. She relays to Ang how she managed to pull herself back from a dark place that she never thought she would escape from.
- Diane has been using ‘Talking Parents’, the app that sponsors Ang’s show, for over 10 years. She discusses with Ang how the app has been vital to maintaining a healthy parenting relationship with her ex partner over the last decade.
- Not only did Diane find a new career, but she also found new love. She explains to Ang how the process of self healing and acceptance led her to find a new, healthy, relationship.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
