HI! I'M DIANA BEJASA.
I'm so happy and grateful that you're here!
I’ve walked many paths in my life, each one teaching me resilience, determination, and the importance of savoring my life to the fullest.
From the bustling trading floors of Wall Street to the meticulous kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants, my career has been diverse and challenging.
I've faced adversity head-on as a 9/11 survivor and as a single mom. These experiences shaped who I am today and fuel my passion for helping others.
WORKING HARD TO SUCCEED
As the first-born daughter of two Filipino immigrants who started their own businesses, I grew up with the values of hard work and perseverance instilled within me.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my Catholic middle school and went on to excel academically at a top-ranked high school and globally recognized business school.
In a family where I was conditioned to believe that any grade below a 90 was "failing," I was well on my way to setting a strong example for my younger siblings and making my parents proud.
MY BREAKDOWN: BITTER. BURNED OUT. BALDING.
In 2017, my life looked like a dream from the outside.
But on the inside, I was stuck in a burnout nightmare, with chronic health problems from head to toe.
My health had gotten so bad that I was forced to give up the chef life - and the restaurant dreams I shared with my former partner.
I was in so much pain that I couldn't deny it anymore.
TRAUMA SURVIVOR
I attended school 2 blocks from the World Trade Center on 9/11. What I saw through my classroom window, couldn't be shown on TV.
For years, I refused to identify as a survivor. I wanted to believe that I was fine and that I didn't have PTSD. Others had experienced far worse, I reasoned. They were the real victims.
That day shaped me in a profound way. At an early age, I witnessed that tomorrow is never guaranteed for any of us. While most of it is blocked from my conscious memory, I will never forget that lesson.
Experiencing extreme burnout was another life-defining moment where I wasn't sure what would happen next. But I'd also learned how to hold onto hope even when my whole world was falling apart.
What if this bitter end could lead to an even better beginning?
I WAS READY FOR CHANGE
IF NOTHING CHANGES...
I dreamed of an epic breakthrough, turning my life around and overcoming every barrier that held me back until then.
I saw myself coming back even stronger: starting my own business, moving to Hawaii, ending my health struggles. I was ready to transform my future!
When I shared my vision with my then-husband, he asked, “What’s going to be different this time?”
Though I was offended by his lack of faith in me, his doubt helped me forge a path towards real, meaningful change.
The truth is, I had already moved and changed careers in the past. I had tried to overcome these barriers before. Yet I was still stuck with the same problems.
I realized if nothing changed, then nothing would change.
If I really wanted to break free from the blocks that held me back for decades, something else had to change.
THE TURNING POINT
I noticed that some of my more successful colleagues were not sick and suffering like I was.
They weren't burned out, working 2-3 times harder or longer than I was working.
They weren't more passionate or more driven than me.
There had to be a better answer to my burnout problem...
As a process-oriented math nerd, I committed to finding an even more efficient and effective solution.
To go even farther and faster than I'd gone on my own, I decided to try a strategy outside of my comfort zone: I reached out for help from experienced mentors.
With their guidance, I implemented proven, science-backed strategies for success like the law of attraction and energy psychology. As a result, I gained the confidence and skills to achieve dreams that had once seemed impossible.
I STOPPED WORKING HARD FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM
I STARTED WORKING ON MY DREAM LIFE AND BUSINESS
My whole life began to change when I decided I was no longer willing to keep stressing and struggling to achieve even more success.
I never expected that reclaiming my health, relocating to Hawai'i, and launching my business was just the start…
