Intuition plays a significant role in decision-making for entrepreneurs.

Mindset is often the biggest barrier to success in business.

Toni believes in the importance of celebrating small wins and progress.

As one year closes and another begins, it’s easy to rush straight into goals, plans and pressure.

In this first solo episode of the year on The Joy Work Show, Diane invites you to pause, and make the one decision that quietly shapes everything else.

Before you plan your year, your business, or your next move, this episode asks a deeper question:
Who are you choosing to be as you build the next chapter?

Drawing on her own reflections from a year of growth, recalibration and leadership, Diane explores why so many plans fail, how self-trust underpins sustainable success, and why joy must be chosen at the start, not added as a reward later.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• why planning from pressure rarely works

• the difference between goals and self-leadership

• how identity shapes strategy

• planning from alignment instead of expectation

• a simple grounding exercise to guide your next 90 days

This is not a resolution episode.
It’s a leadership conversation, for anyone who wants to enter the new year with clarity, integrity and joy.
