In this deeply moving episode of the Vivatude Podcast, host Anu Arora, leadership and mindfulness coach, welcomes author, speaker, and One Love Ambassador Diane Woodford for an intimate conversation on kindness, healing, and the transformative power of the Frequency of Love. Created especially for women over 40, this episode explores what it truly means to live as a loving person—not as an abstract ideal, but as a daily practice that supports mental health, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Together, Anu and Diane reflect on how love, mindfulness, and compassion can help us navigate trauma, adversity, and life transitions with greater peace and strength.

Diane shares the powerful personal story that inspired her book, After Care: Finding Peace Beyond Trauma, which chronicles her family’s journey through her husband’s unexpected, life-threatening hospitalization during the pandemic. Drawing on her background as a critical healthcare professional, Diane reveals how love, forgiveness, and advocacy became lifelines during one of the most challenging seasons of her life. This segment offers hope to women in the “sandwich generation” who are caring for others while also seeking healing for themselves, reminding listeners that storms do end—and thriving after trauma is possible.

The episode concludes with practical tools for embodying love in everyday life, including simple self-affirmation practices that help rewire feelings of isolation and self-doubt. Diane explains how speaking loving words to yourself can create emotional healing, restore self-worth, and attract deeper connection. Whether you are navigating grief, caregiving, burnout, or personal reinvention after 40, this episode is a compassionate reminder that love begins within—and when practiced intentionally, it becomes a powerful force for resilience, peace, and growth.
