The Holistic Counselor

Welcome back to The Holistic Counselor Podcast! In this episode, Diana dives into a topic she’s been refining for years: creating a Faith & Wellness Prayer Board.

Diana shares how she transitioned from cutting out magazine clippings for her fridge to designing her prayer board on Canva. She also opens up about her morning and evening rituals, her use of AI tools for journaling prompts, and why these practices are essential for staying functional and healthy in mind, body, and spirit.
