For F's Sake, Pay Attention to Me!
For F's Sake, Pay Attention to Me Hey diy Ass-kickers! As you probably already know, I have 2 grown daughters with daughters of their own. When they were growing up, I remember having to figure out in the moment, how to be in the moment with each of them. And I admit...
Your Past Does Matter
Your Past Does Matter Hey diy Ass-kickers! So by now, you probably know the difference between coaching and therapy, right? Much of that difference has to do with dealing with your past as opposed to your future. I’m of the mind that you don’t need to understand all...
Would you win the extra mile award?
Would you win the extra mile award? Hey diy Ass-kickers! I heard on the radio the other day about nominating people for an award when they have gone the extra mile for you. I think that’s awesome. People should be recognized and acknowledged for their kindness,...
What Are You Telling People?
What Are You Telling People? Hey diy Ass-kickers! Ok, spit it out. You're telling people things. Personal things. Intimate things. Things that people will use to "peg" you every single day. Sadly, people will often do that. They will take a look at you and quickly...
Don't Make an Enemy Out of Her
Don't Make an Enemy Out of Her Hey diy Ass-kickers! Now I'm normally a very patient woman. I'm good at listening to explanations about why things go wrong. I'm good at accepting apologies and apologizing if I feel I have inappropriately crossed someone's boundaries. I...
Word NO
Word NO Hey diy Ass-kickers! I gotta story to tell you. I have recently taken up swimming and I love, love, love it. I swam a lot as a kid but was feeling the need to up my technique some so I could model safe swimming for my grand babies, or should I call them water...
Stalled By Your Own Story
Stalled By Your Own Story Hey diy Ass-kickers! Today I’m responding to a question from a listener. That question is “How does one get un-stalled”. This listener says she isn’t moving forward anymore. She’s recently retired but wants tons more than the routine of a...
How addicted are you really?
How addicted are you really? Hey diy Ass-Kickers! When I was putting this post together, all I could think of was the lyrics to that old Robert Palmer song… “Might as well face it, you’re addicted to love”. And no, this not a post about sex addiction. It’s about...
Your Life is Your Bitch
Your Life is Your Bitch Hey diy Ass-Kickers! When was the last time you were hit with an emotional smack down? It’s when something happens that creates a conflict for you. An argument or disagreement. A word expressed that should have been kept silent. An action that...
Can We Please Just Stop Saying This Shit?
Can We Please Just Stop Saying This Shit? Hey diy Ass-kickers! Dianna here. Have you noticed that we sometimes say untruthful shit outloud. Shit that has us shrinking into a powerless version of ourselves. Shit that comes from our fear of offending someone, or of...
My Thoughts As I Watched Death Arrive
My Thoughts As I Watched Death Arrive This post might be a little graphic for some of you. But it’s been on my mind and I just have to say it. I recently watched my mother-in-law take her last breath. She had been ill for a few months. Fewer than she was letting on...
Check-In Time
Check-In Time Hey diy Ass-kickers! It’s time for a check in, girls! Does your life feel meaningful and self-directed right now? If you said yes, yay for you! You are kicking your own ass by directing your energy within before determining where you want to put it...
Where there is pain…
Hey diy Ass-kickers! We all feel pain at some point in our lives. Maybe it’s loss, maybe it’s feeling like we’re not enough, maybe it’s knowing something is very wrong with your life, but not knowing what it is or having the courage to do anything about it. Whatever...
Love the hell out of your muffin top!
Love the hell out of your muffin top! Hey diy Ass-Kickers I’ll admit it right here in front of all you lovely ladies who are kind enough to listen to me every week. I’ve got a muffin top. I do. Some days it’s bigger than others but it’s been hanging around for a few...
How I got away with hiding
How I got away with hiding Hey diy Ass-kickers! I used to hide all the time. We’re not talking kid stuff here, I hid as a full grown adult woman. And contrary to what you might be thinking, I didn’t hide because my life was shitty. Hiding was never about what I had,...
Be your own Lady Boss
Be your own Lady Boss Hey diy Ass-kickers! Recently I had a sleepover at my home for my 4 sisters, well 3 actual sisters and 1 sister-in-law who feels like my sister. We hadn’t gotten together like that for a really long time, years I think. And I gotta tell you, I...
F*ck Off is a complete sentence
F*ck Off is a complete sentence. Hey diy Ass-kickers! I love that we have a deep core! Our deep core that tells us what we need and what we want. And it lets us know what’s working for us and what isn’t. And you know the best part of using your deep core? It’s that...
Start your day with some lovin’!
Hey diy Ass-kickers! Question. How do you spend your first waking moments? Assuming that you’re not waking up to ACDC on your clock radio in the morning, your first waking moments are amazingly precious. It’s when you’re not quite awake but you’re not sleeping...
That new thing ain’t gonna cut it
Hey diy Ass-kickers! Thanks for hanging with me today! So there I was the other night, sitting around watching some tv and just about fell off my chair when a commercial made the claim that ”a new bathtub will change your life". I know we hear smack all the time on tv...
Why Your diy Ass-Kicking Isn’t Working
Hello there diy Ass-kickers, Thanks for hanging out with me today! You may be thinking that the title of this blog is a little odd, odd coming from me anyway. I’m always telling you guys that kicking your own ass works, really well actually. In...
When Sh*t Happens, Manage It
Ever had shit happen in your life that was out of your control? Here’s one of my experiences and how I handled it. Over the past month or so, I’ve had 3 or 4 bouts of bad news given to me. News that left me feeling like crap. I won’t get into all the deets but the...
Put this on your to-do list!
Hey diy Ass-kickers! It’s time to be blunt. Sorry, but there are no magic wands to wave over your life to make things feel the way you want them to. I get it. You’re waiting for someone to tell you how to do it. How to fix things. How to do those things that will make...
This is how I am spending my Mother’s Day
Hey diy Ass-kickers! It’s Mom’s Day and I’m spending some time with my daughters and their babies who, quite simply, rock my world. How are you feeling about Mother’s Day? Do you approach the day with expectations...
Self Help Can Suck
Hey diy Ass-kickers! Are you on a self-help hamster wheel? What a weird saying that is! Can you actually picture yourself right now on a hamster wheel? Funny as it seems, we’ve all been there. And here’s how our thoughts go while we’re...
Who Really Needs Forgiveness?
Hey diy Ass-kickers! Happy you’re here! If you’re like me and most of the world, at some point in your life, you’ve felt wronged by someone. Probably more than once. We’ve all been there, it’s part of the human experience. Let me ask you this. Just how long...
