Recovery Plus Podcast: F*ck Yesterday, Focus on Today
Before Diana Yáñez transformed her own life, she recovered from bulimia and attended Al-Anon for a decade due to family members suffering from alcohol addiction. Diana reports that “recovery changed my life! The way I live, think, and relate to myself and others is so much deeper because of the changes that recovery brought me.” Today, Diana is the founder of All the Colors and is a Certified Financial Planner, Registered Life Planner, and Financial Empowerment Guide and dreams of transforming money management worldwide for women of color entrepreneurs. Her vision is to create culturally aware systems for women of color entrepreneurs' money to become a stable and supportive foundation for themselves, their loved ones, and their community. She is fulfilling her vision due to over a decade of experience with the financial industry, her time as a social worker, and now as a coach. Diana brings these skills and experience specifically to women of color because she knows that financial jargon needs to be translated into language and priorities that make sense to this underserved community. Diana is a digital nomad living and traveling in Latin America, with occasional visits to the US. When Diana is not helping clients own their power with money and life, you’ll find her looking for waterfalls, reading in parks, and learning more about Latin American history.

“Recovery itself, learning the 12-step program, it has its own momentum. I was really active in 12 steps for almost for a decade, honestly. I eventually stepped away from it. There were aspects of it that were actually holding me back at some level. I moved into a different spiritual community that I now find more supportive in the work that I do now.”
