It was never Diane Halfman’s plan to walk the streets and become a prostitute, yet alone get involved with vicious gangs and narcotics, but her life choices put her in grave circumstances. Danger became a way of life for Diane forcing her to carry a gun in her hand every day for 10 years. You see, Diane Halfman was an undercover cop for the San Diego Police department. Her job was to infiltrate the gangs and prostitutes, bust the John’s, bring ’em down and clean up the streets.
Diane understands fear and survival instincts—she lived them, and knows what it takes to find your grit, perseverance and power to push through any challenge. After being medically retired from the police department as a result of a training accident, Diane took her years of experience along with her Master’s in Human Resources Management and Certification as an Ultimate Game of Life Coach to pioneer the creation of her own company called SpaLife. SPA is an acronym for Seek Power Always. Her podcast, “Live Your SpaLife” is a call to action for all women to define and create the life they truly want.

Three Key Points:
There’s a term that Diane coined called “the clutter to drama ratio.” The more clutter you have in your space, the more drama you’ll experience in your life.
Clutter doesn’t have to only occur in your environment (i.e. home, car, work, etc.). This can happen mentally as well, and mental clutter can cause just as big an impact as environmental clutter.
Many of us tend to put too much on our plates (metaphorically speaking). Huge to-do lists, too many things going on, and feeling bad for “not getting everything done.” We need to set ourselves up to win instead.
