Who has changed everything without moving, without a budget... and with kids and a mortgage in tow? And then I met you. For all of the women and men who feel stuck and sad, wondering what the heck happened to their life, Dianne is proof that it can happen. It might be slow and messy, but you CAN change your life. Dianne, you are here to inspire us all and your Life Reboot workshop helped me break through to the real me!" Christina T. Chicago, IL
