On this episode of the Mastery Unleashed Podcast, host Christie Ruffino welcomes guest Diane Murphy—affectionately known as Dee—a Navy veteran turned transformation coach, to discuss her mission of empowering women in male-dominated industries. Dee shares her personal journey transitioning from military life to civilian careers, where she faced challenges such as burnout, identity shifts, and discrimination. Drawing from her extensive military and nursing experience, she explains how the struggle to integrate into civilian life inspired her to help other women veterans, corporate executives, and physicians reclaim their power and redefine success.

Dee’s coaching emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and embracing one’s unique strengths, merging traditionally masculine skills with inherent feminine intuition. Through her signature program and the “Trail Blazing Your Path to Abundance” checklist, she guides her clients to overcome societal expectations, unlock their potential, and build thriving businesses—often achieving six-figure success within a year. The conversation highlights themes of female empowerment, resilience, and transformational leadership, urging women to follow their passion and purpose.


ABOUT DIANE
