⚠️ VIDEO INTERVIEW 📺
The IG Connection 📱
Dr. Juan and Diana’s journey together started just like many modern friendships do—on Instagram. Dr. Juan recalls, "I met you, I think, through Instagram, didn't we?" and Diana excitedly confirms, "Yes, exactly. Yeah." Their connection was instant, especially after Diana saw Juan on Shark Tank were he made his famous pitch for Pnuff Crunch. "I saw you on Shark Tank, and I was like, that's f****** amazing!" she exclaims. Seeing a fellow Honduran killing it on a big platform was a huge motivator for Diana, and she knew she had to support.
From Honduras to Hustle Town 🌎✈️
Both Dr. Juan and Diana hail from Honduras (Central America) and their stories of moving to the U.S. resonate deeply. Diana shares, "I came here when I was five or six years old. It was hard to learn the language, to get used to everything. My mom was a single mom, it was three of us." Despite the struggles, Diana’s journey is a testament to hard work and determination. "It was a struggle...but it made us who we are today," she reflects.
Chasing the Dream: From 9-to-5 to Fitness Guru 💪
Diana's path wasn't always clear-cut. "I started working two jobs. I worked in a hospital. I had two good-paying jobs, but it wasn’t my calling," she admits. It was through her own fitness journey that Diana found her true passion. "I started with just me going to work out, eating right...and then it evolved into helping other women."
The Turning Point 🔄
The real game-changer for Diana came when she decided to go all-in. "I became a trainer for about a year and then discovered online coaching. I focus on holistic online coaching," she explains. Diana’s approach isn't just about fitness; it's about transforming lives. "It's about helping other ladies feel better and see the benefits of a healthier lifestyle."
Facing the Struggles Head-On 🚀
Diana’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. She candidly shares, "I didn’t have papers from age 8 to 21. I was working with fake names, under the table, going through the struggle." But these struggles only made her stronger. "I had to grow up really quickly," she says. Diana's story is a powerful reminder that our past challenges shape our future successes.
Impacting Lives, One Step at a Time 👣
Today, Diana’s business has helped over 2,000 women transform their lives. "It's been four and a half years now since then...and we've been able to help over 2,000 women," she proudly shares. The ripple effect of her work extends beyond her clients. "I've inspired my cousin, my husband, my boyfriend...it's a whole impact," Diana adds. It's about making lasting changes, not just temporary fixes.
The Power of Cultural Connection 🌮❤️
Dr. Juan and Diana also dive into the importance of cultural foods and staying true to your roots while pursuing a healthy lifestyle. "A lot of the times we grow up thinking that healthy just means organic food, salads, and that it has to be boring," Diana explains. She’s on a mission to change that mindset. "You can enjoy your cultural foods, but we just have to learn how to balance it, how to cook them differently."
Balancing Act: Flavor Meets Fitness 🍽️💪
Diana believes in incorporating foods you love into your diet. "If you really want to make a lifestyle change, you have to eat things that you grew up eating," she emphasizes. It's all about finding a balance and making smart choices. "We can enjoy our favorite dishes over the weekend, but we just make them healthier with less calories, less oils."
Inspiring the Next Generation 🌟
Dr. Juan and Diana's conversation is filled with insights and tips for anyone looking to start their fitness journey. "When you improve your health and fitness, your mindset starts to change, your priorities get better," Diana says. It’s about creating a ripple effect that touches every aspect of your life.
Wrapping Up with a Heartfelt Note ❤️
As they wrap up, Juan praises Diana's journey and her impact. "I love your story. I love where you're going," he says. Diana's response is a testament to her humble beginnings and her drive to make a difference. "It's about helping other women...it's about changing lives."
