Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
Ever wondered what actually happens at a healing retreat?

How to Build Inner Strength
Boss Bitch Radio w/IFBB Pro, Diane Flores
What if the thing holding you back isn’t what you need to do… but what you need to stop tolerating? In this raw, fiery, recorded-from-my-car episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I’m talking about inner strength, self-betrayal, and why so many women stay stuck in lives, relationships, and identities that no longer fit. I break down powerful research showing that 82% of women wish they had more inner strength, and why that gap exists - not because women are weak, but because we’re conditioned to ignore our truth!

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sit down with financial expert, author, and coach Lisa Chastain, who’s on a mission to help women transform their relationship with money.
Lisa opens up about growing up in a blue-collar family in Las Vegas, following the “perfect life script,” and realizing in her 30s that she was living a life that wasn’t truly hers. From breaking free of a loveless marriage to building her own business helping women find financial freedom - her story is real, raw, and relatable.
