The Peak and Pit

The Peak and Pit

Intending to relate, entertain, and maybe even inspire, Diana (and an occasional appearance by her husband) is here to brighten your Tuesdays. She's known him since age seven and has been in a relationship with him since age twenty-two. They joke that a military marriage should be measured in dog years, but really these two have learned a myriad of life lessons, full of peaks and pits, and Diana is here to share it with the world. Hearing from Diana every week on all things relationships, wellness, self-development, and all of the intricacies life brings with it. Inspired by life in the military we know our fellow military friends will relate, but anyone can benefit from the fresh perspective these two bring. So get ready to share in their life's silly, exciting, and beautiful peaks and learn with them through the pits.
