Putting Yourself First isn't Selfish, Out of the Ordinary, A Cause for Guilt, or Mean Spirited. It's actually Courageous, Constructive, Compassionate and Critical to your Well-Being.

Whether you’re making decisions in the boardroom or folding laundry in the bedroom, you are a magnet for love and success when you put yourself first.

Me Rightside Up

Sure, you consistently exceed business objectives,
Receive outstanding performance reviews,
Nurture strategic business partners,
Reach your bold money goals,
Lovingly care for your aging parents,
Generously provide financial and emotional support to your children,
And graciously tend to your partner/husband’s every need.

But there’s just one little problem;

You feel an important ingredient is missing from your life.

The life you have worked (incredibly) hard to create.
The life which is a true reflection of who you are.

And while you intuitively know ‘there must be more than this’ you cannot scratch the surface of your longing.

You aren’t:

Unworthy.

Overlooking the obvious.

Undeserving.

Wearing blinders.

Out-of-touch with reality.

Or Unable to see the forest for the trees.

You’re an:

Intelligent.

Generous.

Deserving.

Hard-working woman;

Who could use a little help with creating the ideal action-plan for Putting Yourself First.

“I have struggled my adult life with this heavy burden and now I know I will complete my quest.  Instead of belittling myself for the small setbacks, I will relish in my earned successes. (A setback is a set up for a COMEBACK.)  I have worked diligently and have expanded tons of energy in the past for others.  It is my time now to rein in the leaking energy I’ve exerted wastefully and focus on ME.  This is MY time, MY successes and MY happiness and I am claiming it!”  Robin Ames

“I feel the presence of a new softness in my life, an ease where there is a flow of gifts both within me and toward me.  It feels like life has the potential to be good.  I see synchronicities.  Within me, I am beginning to sense contentment, more centered, more connected.  I am being my own best friend, VIP for me.  I know things are happening because I am more aware, more open in my heart and my carefully constructed positive thoughts.  I am claiming my power, inch by inch.”   Paula Ocean

 

Diane Marie Ford  08.12Welcome!  My name is Diane Marie Ford and I am your personal, corporate savvy, spirit strong Life & Afterlife Coach.

After a highly successful (25 year) HR, Management career in corporate America, I chose to listen to my soul and follow my heart.  I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2003 and within a year had Founded Listen To Thyself; a coaching business.  I am the CEO and an Intuitive Life and Afterlife Coach with a passion for teaching women how to manifest their true wealth – the essence of their being, while connecting them to what’s important to them; themselves.   My 21 years of sobriety qualifies me as an expert in Choosing Me First.

“Now that I  have discovered my inner self I know I am a great person.  I have lots of good qualities, some that just come naturally to me.  I don’t give myself enough credit sometimes.  I will start putting myself first instead of everyone everyone else,  Being a little selfish sometimes is okay.  I’ve learned that I can say no to people without giving them an explanation why I can’t do something.  My biggest problem is I’m a people pleaser – I’ve always tried to accommodate everyone to the best of my ability.  Why I can’t, I get angry at myself.  Now I’ve learned to please myself first.  If I’m not happy and in love with myself how can I love another human being?”

 

I share my insider information to help you understand and navigate through deeply ingrained multi-generational beliefs which are unconsciously making your decisions, influencing habits and creating a wedge between you and an effortless, abundant flow of self-acceptance and love in your life.

  • Connect with your spiritual guides and experience profound insights through spirit wisdom and my gentle, yet powerful co-counseling.
  • Call forth and assemble your Spirit Success Team; invite your ancestors to be an integral, intuitive addition in the process and guide you to satisfying success.
  • Shift your energy from unconsciously rejecting the suggestions of your intuition to effortlessly attacting upon impulse.
  • Transform contracting emotions and feelings which close down receptivity to awakening feelings of expansiveness and allow energy to flow easily through you.
  • Learn how stop feeling emotionally bankrupt and start to gain an understanding of the emotional and spiritual value of self-acceptance and self-worth.

I have designed this program to include what I love to do and am successful in doing; co-counsel with Spirit. Yes, I blend over two decades of my savvy corporate experinec with laser focused intuitive mentoring and clair senses as we call forth and access your ancestral assets – yes, your relatives, and loved ones who have departed from their physical bodies; to create incredible breakthroughs.

The combination of structured, results driven methods, intuitive, channeled mentoring and spirit-infused energies create spot-on, life-changing results.

 

“While I’ve only worked with Diane for a short time, the results I’ve realized are hugely amazing!  She’s the real deal!  In just a few weeks of working with her, I received a huge bonus ($$$) that I hadn’t even expected!!

An authentic intuitive master, Diane is a powerful spiritual being.  She’s helped me re-connect with people who were profoundly important in my life and understand how they continue to provide love and support for me, even though they have already passed on.

With Diane’s guidance, I’ve released old beliefs that prohibited my growth; they got in my way even though I wasn’t consciously aware of the hold they had on me.  As a result, a huge shift has taken place and I am a new, stronger, more confident person, excitedly looking forward!  I will always be grateful for having Diane in my life.

These results can be yours as well, for you each deserve it.  Don’t waste another moment – contact Diane NOW!

Why Choose Me First?  It’s not really about choosing yourself first per se – it’s about understanding why you do what you do so you can make new and deeply informed decisions about how you live your life.

It’s about your relationship with yourself.  Howyou feel.  What it makes you do what you do.  How you’re connected to your decisions.  Whether you repel or attract  love.

It’s about you being your own best friend and choosing to keep company with yourself.  It’s about  showing appreciation and gratitude for the friendship and company.

“I had been in denial about money, either taking it for granted, and at the same time always anxious about it.
The current income climate added to the worry over money and I had felt increasing pressure to put my financial house in order and to stop passing the buck to my spouse.

When the opportunity arose to look at my relationship with money in a safe, non-judging environment, I felt I was ready to address my fears and hang-ups about my relationship with money and finally do something about it.  For so long I was hiding behind spending money.

The sessions have helped me to see my relationship with money as sacred and to clarify values I have about money. Diane offers hands-on tools and guidance to help you think differently about money and its role in your life and to take concrete steps to develop a more healthy and realistic relationship with money. On my own, I didn’t know where to start – it was too overwhelming. In working with Diane I am now being proactive in transforming my view about money. ”
Jennifer Bingham-Maas, Speech-Language Pathologist

This program is for you if:

You have not reached the level of success with your personal or professional life that you believe is possible.

You are open, willing and ready to connect with the spirits.

You are open to allowing others to guide and support you.

You are comfortable with a coach who can see clear through you,  a coach who provides bold, no-nonsense mentoring.

You are giving more than you are receiving.

You are rushing through your life.

Or if you just do not have any connection to or feelings about your self-acceptance – period.

Fortunately, I experienced a huge breakthrough myself, as I was being coached right after graduating from The Institute for Integrative Nutrion, and starting upi my own business.  I said YES! to everyone and every opportunity.  Yes, I will speak at your event, yes, I will write for your magazine, Yes, I will participate in the Holistic Fair, yes! yes! yes!  I was yessed to exhasution and not accomplishing a great deal of anything substantioal – if you know what I mean.

As a child of the fifties, raised in a loving, nurturing family, we were always cared for, provided for and got along fine.  Raised by a stay-at-home mother, who willingly said yes to everything.  Den leader?  Yes!  Girl Scouts?  Yes!  Church sosciety?  Oh Yes!  Sewing Costumes for the dancesr?  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  My mother made everything look effortless.  So can I.   Aggg.    My breakthrough was realizing that saying yes to everyone and every opportunity was a deeply ingrained response, and not actually a good fit for me here in the 21st century.

The good news was I inherited this belief and I had the power to change it.  Calling in my ancestral assets, I was able to get to the core of the belief, dissect it, and transform it to a beautiful, bountiful belief that has positively impacted my present and will continue to positively impact future generations.

The process made a huge difference in my life.  It catalyzed me to create this program, ~ I Choose Me ~ 90 Day Group Program to Self Acceptance.   And I so appreciate the constant support I receive from my Spirit Success Team, led by my # 1  Go-To Guide, my mother Leah.

This is a powerfully effective and results driven program.  I Choose Me ~ 90 Day Group Program to Self will change the way you view yourself, your options  money and will certainly change the way you live your life.  Most important – it will provide a refreshing and enlightened perspective on the power of Accessing Your Ancestral Assets and Leveraging your Lineage.   Your Self Acceptance Awaits  – Your Team is Standing By – Are to Ready to Meet Them and Move Forward?

Ellen J. HarrisWhat began as a casual discussion transformed into a pathway that allowed me to achieve new heights in my Spiritual Development working with Diane. 

Diane quickly and precisely pinpointed my folder of what-ifs when my parents were reintroduced to me as the high performance professionals they were.

In less than 90 days, Diane helped me reclaim and reconnect with my Dad’s Business acumen and my mother’s flair for business strategy.  [Both of whom are deceased.]

Diane’s coaching reconnected my sense of calling and purpose in the world. Today, I stand affirmed in my mission to inspire business owners like me to take hold of the essence of their being and make ready to breathe life into just-so businesses.

I now see my true calling throughout Asia, Malaysia, South Asia and Oceana to bring the message of independent business ownership to the world.

Much sincere thanks, Diane Marie!”

The third VIP Continuum – Stage Three – follows the belief “how you do money is how you do everything”.
Learn how to identify and integrate the missing pieces to create your sacred relationship with money.

STAGE THREE: Create Your Sacred Relationship with Self

Heart_of_hearts

  • Uncover your true feelings about your relationship with money.
  • Understand the behaviors you may demonstrate toward money.
  • Identify qualities or feelings missing from your sacred relationship with money.
  • Take action to nurture and integrate those missing qualities into your relationship with money.
  • Congratulate yourself for cultivating the courage to create conscious change – you have unearthed your true wealth, mastered a meaningful relationship and are one step closer to leaving a lasting, loving legacy for your future generations.

 

“When I began this process with Diane I was open to receiving messages from my deceased relatives. I grew up in a good family with good values and my parents instilled the value of hard work.  I was taught you could always earn the money you need.  My father, who had recently passed, instantly ‘showed up’ during our first session to share his beliefs around earning and saving money, his passed-down money values (“I can’t take it with me”) and explain why he taught us as he did.  What he also shared was that it took him the transformation into spirit, to gain the clarity to now guide me properly.  He was actually grateful to me for opening this topic of conversation.

Through this process I learned the origin of my money story and how it played out in my life, my core underlying beliefs and how to change those beliefs to best serve me now.  I was able to identify situations where I gave away my power with money and found the courage to identify actions to create boundaries and be proactive.  A door was opened for me and there is a pathway for me to follow.  Whether you do it for you – or do it for ‘them’ – just do it.”
