Welcome back to another episode of Inside Personal Growth! Joining us today is memoirist, poet, and thought-leader Diana Raab featuring her new book Hummingbird: Messages from My Ancestors.

Diana presents workshops in writing for healing and transformation. She has a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in Transpersonal Psychology with a research focus on the healing and transformative powers of memoir writing. Her educational background also includes health administration, nursing, and creative writing.

Diana believes in the importance of writing to achieve wholeness and interconnectedness while encouraging the ability to unleash the true voice of the inner self. And as an advocate of personal writing, she facilitates workshops in writing for transformation and empowerment, focusing on journaling, poetry, and memoir writing. She teaches two courses on DailyOM: “Write. Heal. Transform: A Magical Memoir Writing Course“ and “Therapeutic Writing.”

Diana is also an award-winning author of 13 books, and her articles and poems have been published and anthologized worldwide. Her latest one is Hummingbird: Messages from My Ancestors which is a spiritual memoir about the connection between three generations of women–the author, her mother and her beloved maternal grandmother whose wisdoms taught the author how to exist in the world by following her intuition and listening to her heart.
