On January 29th, I sat down with Marie Diamond, and without planning it, we recorded on the Lunar New Year—ushering in the Year of the Wooden Snake. That alone carried weight. But it wasn’t just the date. The conversation had its own current. Something deeper was in motion. 

How Her Work Found Me When I Needed It Most 

I’ll take you back to 2008. 

I was a single Mom, building a business, holding it together the best I could. Like a lot of us, I was deep in personal growth mode—reading everything, studying mindset, working on creating a better life. But something still felt off. 

Four and a half years ago, I set out to start my own podcast and four years ago I decided to take a pause. That pause may have lasted a bit longer than I had initially intended, but one thing was certain: I knew I was going to create this podcast.

Now it’s 2024, the fear and stress of the pandemic is long behind us and I am ready to give this show everything I got. Make Things Happen with Diana Pagano, is founded on the belief that empowerment and mindset transformation is in reach to anyone who desires more. Each episode I will be tackling a different topic and bringing you the tools you need to succeed.
