What if the thing you do to protect yourself becomes the thing trailing behind you?

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane tells the hilarious story of a 90s date, a hot pink neon jumper, and the public-restroom exit that turned into a full toilet paper parade. What started as one ridiculous bathroom incident became even funnier when it happened again at a golf country club - because apparently some women have a signature perfume, and Diane has a signature bathroom incident.

But underneath the laugh is a sharper truth: we all have old protective habits we never question. We layer, guard, plan, control, and overprepare because somewhere along the way, someone told us what could go wrong. Sometimes that protection helps. Sometimes it becomes the thing we drag behind us.

This episode is funny, honest, relatable, and tender in the way only real-life embarrassment can be. It is about humility, control, inherited fear, laughter, and the small brave act of noticing what is no longer serving you

Have you ever made a major life decision while pretending you were simply going to look?

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane tells the hilarious and heart-melting story of how Mocha - a tiny chocolate Yorkie-poo with full diva energy - joined the family through what can only be called The Puppy Heist of the Century.

While Shawn was away on a guys' golf trip, Diane and Payton began casually, innocently, absolutely-not-suspiciously looking at puppy photos online. Then the browsing became a plan. The plan became a 1.5-hour drive. And the 1.5-hour drive became a tiny dog dropping a bow at Diane's feet like she had been sent by central casting.

Funny, warm, and full of Diane's signature storytelling, this episode is really about joy - the kind that sneaks in, chooses you, and makes your house feel softer. Because still standing is not only about surviving the hard things. It is also about letting the good things come home.

Have you ever walked into a room, a group, a relationship, a belief system, or even a season of life and thought, “Wait a minute… why does this feel weird?”

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Di tells a funny, real-life story that starts with cult energy and turns into something much bigger: the way we can slowly hand over our voice, instincts, comfort, and common sense just to belong.

This is not just an episode about “cults” in the dramatic documentary sense. It is about the everyday places where we ignore our gut because everyone else seems fine. The rooms where the rules keep changing. The groups where belonging starts to feel like performance. The roles where you keep shrinking yourself to stay accepted. The moments when your body knows before your brain is ready to admit it.

With her usual mix of sarcasm, honesty, and hard-earned reflection, Di explores what it means to notice the red flags, laugh at the absurdity, and finally trust yourself enough to say, “Nope. I am culting this out.”

Five years ago, Diane Six heard the words no woman wants to hear: "You have breast cancer." That moment became a Life Split - the kind of before-and-after moment that changes everything. In this deeply emotional episode of Still Standing with Diane Six,

Di shares what it feels like to take her final Tamoxifen pill after five years. She talks honestly about the gratitude, the side effects, the hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, joint aches, exhaustion, and the complicated grief of not feeling like herself. But this next-level version goes deeper. Di admits the truth many survivors carry quietly: stopping the medication can feel scary.

Freedom and fear can sit in the same hand. She wants to try on clothes and feel like the old her. She wants to look in the mirror and see herself again. She wants to feel like herself again. This episode is not medical advice. It is a personal story about survivorship, vulnerability, body trust, fear, hope, and choosing the next chapter anyway.

Cancer changed her. Tamoxifen changed her. Survival changed her. But it did not take her. She is still here. Still standing. Still healing. Still becoming.

What if strength does not always look calm, graceful, or brave?

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane tells the hilarious and deeply human story of her lifelong talent for fainting at the worst possible moments — from booster shots and starter earrings to bagels, bloody noses, dermatologist injections, and office supplies.

But when breast cancer entered the picture, something surprising happened: the woman who once fainted over an earring somehow stayed standing through biopsies, radiation, surgery, fear, and rooms she never wanted to enter.

This episode is funny, honest, tender, and real. It is about the strange way our bodies carry us, the embarrassment of falling apart, and the miracle of getting back up.

Because some moments you collapse.

Some moments you rise.

And strength is not always about staying on your feet.

Sometimes it is in the getting up.

Have you ever had so many medical professionals touch one body part that you started wondering if you needed a ticket booth?

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane tells the story she lovingly calls The Great Boob Tour of the Midwest: breast cancer treatment, surgery, medical modesty leaving the building, post-op body shock, and the full

Frankenboob situation nobody puts in the cheerful little cancer binder.

Breast cancer is not funny. But some of the things that happen around breast cancer? Oh honey. Some of them are absolutely ridiculously comical.

This episode is funny, honest, tender, and deeply human. It is about body changes, gratitude, grief, healing, survival, and realizing: not perfectly, not gracefully, not symmetrically - but still here.

She brought a photo album. I brought anxiety and emotional facial-recognition software.

In this episode of Still Standing with Diane Six, Diane shares the story of meeting her biological mom and siblings - and the unexpected moment when a family photo album became an identity scavenger hunt.

Instead of simply seeing birthdays, holidays, and family memories, Diane found herself searching for resemblance: eyes, nose, mouth, familiar expressions, and any clue that might help her understand where her face came from. What started as a nervous first meeting became a deeper reflection on adoption, identity, biological family, and the truth that finding answers does not have to replace the life you already lived.

This episode is for anyone who has ever searched for belonging, wondered where they came from, or realized that sometimes the missing piece is not a replacement - it is context.
