It was such an honor and pleasure to interview first-time self-published author, Diane Joy Israel, sharing about the launch of her new book, Joy: Befriending Death. Her journey as an author has been a long one with much love and support from others who have been the village she needed to release Joy into the world as she battles with her mental brilliance. Diane is such a blessing to the world and all who know her. She speaks from the heart and this is a very RAW and REAL interview.

WARNING ... there is some explicit content and filled with lots of wisdom and golden nuggets to support your healing and growth relating to handling loss.

Diane Joy Israel is a former world-class triathlete and self-described “running monk” who utilizes her experience with movement to ignite students and clients. Diane says, “Even though I was put in ‘special needs’ classes growing up, I enjoyed learning. I know that I was ‘special’ because I was different—I learned in ways that were embodied and heartful.”

Due to intense grief following the closely timed deaths of her Mom and Dad, Diane chose to stop and “shelter in place” long before the pandemic, relying on nature to guide her. Diane is a wise (yet wild) woman who is able to reach multiple generations and a spectrum of audiences through her authentic, funny, and direct way of framing life, its challenges, and the continual opportunity to be alive, even when it hurts like hell.

Diane currently lives in Boulder, Colorado with her partner of 28 years, Lindsey Hansen-Sturm, and serves as an end-of-life care consultant and ally supporting families as they navigate death.
