#SH with Diahni Sample
Hey Diahni, can you introduce yourself to us?
Hey! My name is Diahni Sample. I am an inspirational speaker, author, resume writer and business consultant. I influence women to heal within, love on themselves and their dreams and support their sisters.
Can you take us through your self-love journey to where you are now?
My self love journey is one that is still taken place today. When I first started, it seemed like a curious journey to learn from others the meaning of self love. 6 months ago, I was intrigued to learn about who I am as a woman and my background. Now, its all about maintaining. There are times when i’m not as disciplined as I would like to be. Its still a work in progress and I see my growth within the last 6 months and I love it.
What are some of your favorite self-love + self-care practices?
Saying my affirmations in the morning. Fasting for more than 10 hours. Eating after 12pm. Looking in the mirror and saying “I love myself”
How would you like your self-love journey to inspire other women?
I would like my self love journey to pave the way for women being real with themselves and healing from all of the hurt and anger of the past. Its time to stop putting the fake smiles away and get serious about healing.

Deciding to get off of social media for months to really focus on my mind and healing.
What inspired you to create several brands that empower women?
The way women compete & my own insecurities. No one built the path for me, so I wanted to do that for other women. I was insecure with my hair and my look, so I wanted to create a platform for women to express themselves and build their confidence.

Selling out auditoriums and traveling the world to share my story!

Don’t look for validation from anyone. You are worth more than what any man will ever say. You have the power to be your own boss, you have to align yourself with the mindset of a boss first.
What is the best piece of business advice you have received to date?
To be prepared for the opinions and criticisms from others, but to never let them dim my light.
How did you learn to be so confident?
By not loving myself. I had to feel worthless to build true confidence. I had to start admiring myself to really love on myself.
