Authenticity, Faith & Resilience in Life and Business
Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Women in Leadership Podcast! Today we are joined by the incredible Dr. Christi Diamond, a naturopathic doctor and relationship expert, for a powerful conversation about authenticity, faith, and resilience in both life and business.
So many women leaders find themselves struggling to balance the expectations placed upon them – both personally and professionally – while staying true to who they are. Dr. Diamond understands this challenge deeply and shares why trusting yourself is the foundation for living with authenticity. She opens up about the experiences that can cause women to lose that trust and what it takes to rebuild it in a way that empowers both our personal and professional lives.
During our conversation, Dr. Diamond also speaks to the role of faith and spirituality in finding strength and clarity through life’s challenges. She highlights how a deep spiritual connection can serve as an anchor, providing the guidance and resilience needed to navigate difficult seasons.
Another important topic we touch on is how to move beyond setbacks without allowing them to define us. So often, we internalize disappointment and let it shape our identity in limiting ways. Dr. Diamond offers a fresh perspective on resilience, showing how past hardships can be steppingstones rather than stumbling blocks.
Whether you are seeking to step more fully into your purpose, build stronger relationships, or cultivate a deeper sense of self-trust, this episode is filled with valuable insights that will leave you feeling encouraged and equipped for the journey ahead.
Dr. Christi Diamond also offers healing retreats and sessions for those looking to continue their personal growth. You can learn more about her work by visiting her website at thehealingcoach.com.

“It's owning your voice in a way that is true to you as opposed to being who, you know, maybe someone else expected us to be. It's also knowing our answers to where we stop outsourcing our inner authority, and we start looking inward knowing our answers came with us.”
