DIY Your Peace: How Diahnna Curtis Turns Houses into Healing (On Any Budget)

from Powerfully Broken · host Barbara L Parker MA, LPCC-S, CEO

Your home is your nervous system. Realtor & creator Diahnna Curtis shows how to set energy boundaries, ditch chaotic relationships, and use small DIYs to turn any space into a calming, beautiful refuge—without big money.What you’ll learnEnergy hygiene: placing people at the right “distance” without dramaScent & sound therapy at home (lavender, woodsmoke, ritual cues)Budget-friendly DIYs that actually change how your space feelsProject cadence: start tiny → stack wins → maintain momentumRaising creators: modeling grit so kids become fearless makersWhat if the bravest renovation is the one you make to your life? We sit down with Diahnna Curtis—realtor, creativity maven, and president of a historic minority real estate trade chapter—to trace a journey from misaligned marriage to solo homeownership, from chaos to calm, and from projects as chores to projects as therapy. This is a story about choosing your climate on purpose: if one of you wants Canada and the other craves Mexico, wish each other well and pack accordingly.We dig into the art of the graceful exit: no fireworks, no speeches, just a firm boundary that keeps your mind clear and your spirit light. Diahnna shares how she protects her peace—blocking harmful messages, refusing to host secrets in her spirit, and measuring relationships by equilibrium: do the perks outweigh the costs emotionally, mentally, and financially? When the math doesn’t math, she steps back with love. That same clarity powers her home life, where small, consistent DIY wins—an accent wall, shelves, a refreshed mantel, the steady anchor of lavender—turn rooms into refuge.You’ll also hear how leadership can crowd a house with banners and gear, and how reset rituals—leaving for a night, returning with fresh eyes—restore order. Diahnna’s hands-on grit became a family language; her daughters now tackle renovations with the same courage, proving that resilience is learned by doing. Expect practical takeaways: start tiny, embrace imperfect first attempts, and design spaces that hold you when the world gets loud. Expect heart, too: you can love someone and still choose distance; you can be powerful and still need rest.If you’re ready to trade draining habits for healthy boundaries and transform your home into a sanctuary, this conversation is your blueprint.

Explicit Sickboy Sickboy is the only place where terminal diagnoses can peacefully coexist with jokes we probably shouldn't make. Hosted by three best friends, Jeremie, Brian, and Taylor, this show smashes taboos around illness, death, and everything in between. Inspired by Jeremie’s life with Cystic Fibrosis, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking.

In the film, she asks how it is possible that so many workers at Disneyland, aka “the happiest place on earth,” can’t afford life's basic necessities, even when they work full time. For the fourth season of All Ears, Abigail poses that question to people who are doing the most Disney thing of all–using their imaginations–in this case to rethink capitalism. She talks with business leaders, union organizers, and economists to learn how they would fix our broken economy. Explicit The Most Important Question Important, Not Important You already know things are broken. You read the news, you listen to the analysis, you've got the outrage. What you don't have is a plan.The Most Important Question — 6x Webby-nominated, 2x Signal Award-nominated — is a weekly conversation with one person who stopped asking "what can I do?" and went and found out. Not pundits. Not commentators. The scientists, doctors, nurses, journalists, farmers, activists, and policymakers who are doing the actual work on the frontlines of climate, public health, democracy, AI, food, water, medicine, and justice.Host Quinn Emmett goes deep with each of them — the infectious disease doctor building new outbreak surveillance tools, the investigative journalist who traced how forever chemicals got into 97% of our blood, the economist building emergency lifeboats for foreign aid that got axed overnight, one of the greatest writers alive reckoning with the history we were never taught — and every conversation ends with something nobody else gives Explicit
