  • Diana Sumpter: 60-Second Throwdown (Ep 5b)

    In Diana Sumpter's 60-Second Throwdown, we talk about everything from what's in her camera roll to the three things she can't travel without. 

    What you may not know about Diana, she's a breakfast girl who loves the mountains and carries the biggest purse you can get (with 4-inch stilettos!). And make sure you watch the video to see her show off her favorite fair of sparkly high heels (that she’s only walked in once).

    Her life verse is Ephesians 3:20 and her favorite quote is, “You cannot be mad or sad if you’re covered in glitter.” And even though she’s been all over the world, you might be surprised about the one state she’s never visited that she can’t wait to go to.

    And I would be remiss if I hadn’t asked her to share the one piece of makeup she’d use if she could only pick one...

    Diana Sumpter is a National Sales Director, Retired Air Force, Author and International Speaker. You can find her book, Step Out of the Box: Your Dream Life is Waiting, on Amazon and join her Facebook group, “Generations of Sparkle”.

    11:20 Choose to respect, even when you don’t like someone’s habits
    12:04 Part of being fearless is just to HANG ON, not because it’s the EASY thing to do but because it’s the RIGHT thing to do

    33:50 Pitiful labels
    35:14 As a parent, the 5 people you hang out with will determine your children: confident children come from confident parents
    39:09 Be willing to be inconvenienced
    40:09 Don’t ask someone what they did, ask what they were thinking and reading
    43:06 What she wishes she did when she was younger (moved faster & trusted her instincts)

  • Fearless in her 40's: RACHEL MARIE MARTIN (Ep 4)

    This conversation with author, entrepreneur and mom of six, Rachel Marie Martin, was especially fun because we were born in the same decade!
