This week, Wendy sits down with Diane Allen, a classically trained violinist turned keynote speaker, to explore the transformative power of flow and the life-changing impact of saying "yes" to yourself. Diane shares her inspiring journey of stepping away from her musical career to care for her mother and support her son, only to rediscover her passion and purpose through the power of flow. She unpacks the science behind flow states, how they enhance performance and fulfillment, and why they’re essential to living a purposeful life. Packed with actionable strategies, personal stories, and neuroscience-backed insights, this conversation will inspire you to stop resisting, start flowing, and embrace your potential. 
About Diane:
International Speaker-Violinist-Author Diane Allen increases the meaning, joy, and fulfillment in one's work and life by accessing the flow state. In Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do, Diane shows readers how to harness the power of flow. Years before neuroscientists discovered the positive impact of the flow state, Diane had already experienced its transformative power in her own career as a violinist. Diane was the concertmaster of the Central Oregon Symphony for 15 years, and taught violin for 28 years. It was her unique approach to getting into flow, on demand, that earned her a spot on the TEDxNaperville stage and features on TED, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Associated Press, Boston Herald, Authority Magazine, and Thrive Global. Today, Diane is known for her experiential Keynotes, Training, and Coaching programs that go Beyond Engagement™, featuring her three-step Flow Strategy™ system, which empowers people to get into their flow state, be in their genius, and love what they do.
