This was fabulous. I have loved having you as part of my life for the last several years. The “chats” at the kitchen table are always so lovely. Thanks for being you.
Have you ever lost your confidence? When did it happen, do you know why? How did you regain your confidence and self-esteem? Hope you enjoy today's video - it's a long one but hopefully worth the listen! 👋🏼😊
Yes Diane. I lost my self esteem due to my family issues feeling I wasn't loved because they cut me out of their lives. It's been very difficult but a few years back I found you and your videos motivated me to get back on track with my house. I learnt not to feel over whelmed when everything felt a mess and I didn't know where to start. You truly have been a motivator. I looked at the dressing your truth a few years ago and loved hiw it works but still couldn't work out what I was 🤔. Maybe I'll revisit that again because my wardrobe is a real sticking point for me. Thank you for all your videos. I too don't comment as much as I used to but I do enjoy watching you 😊
Hi Jules!@@julesanne52 No need to struggle with your Type! Did you know that Carol gives type help once a month in the Lifestyle group? So nice to know for sure!
Aw, I got emotional watching you getting emotional at the start of this. I could tell that it had taken you a few takes. It’s challenging losing yourself a bit and losing confidence. Thank you for opening up about it and sharing it. You have helped me so much that I can ‘hear’ you and your wise words as I go about my day. It’s lovely to see you and your Mum in Edinburgh and I hope you had or are having a lovely time. Thanks again for showing me how to live life better. ❤
There's no other organizer/motivator I find as inspiring or helpful as you Diane! Keep shining and thanks for putting the good energy out there for us! You look fabulous in the pink jacket you're wearing! Sending good energy to you from Pennsylvania, U.S. 🌅
Thank you Diane ❤ I don't comment as often as I used to. I can't imagine reading all of them. Your genuine spirit always shines through. Your the best. Witnessing your style transformation journey all these years has been intriguing and joyful. These things do all go hand in hand. Still putting one foot in front of the other getting stuff done with your sweet encouragement. Always will be a winter bather want-a-be. Hard to do in Texas, but opportunities in New Mexico. Thank you for your generosity to us all. Has made a difference in my life ❤
Love this, because when I don't get dressed during the day I'm sooo lazy. I end up feeling bad about myself too. When I get dressed, and put on a little makeup, it really lifts my spirits. :)
Loved it! I will always be grateful to Steph, The Secret Slob, for mentioning you in her videos. That is how I found your RUclips channel! Your positive spirit, motivation and encouragement in cleaning and organizing brighten my days. I watch your videos in the morning to get my day off to a positive start. I also love how you look so put together. I am 55 and still have no style confidence. You are an inspiration to me and a wonderful cheerleader for my days! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us. I need more positive women in my life. I appreciate you so much. ❤
I just adore you dear Diane...you are such a joy and positive influencer and I am so glad to watch you and all your wonderful friends. much love from AZ😎
Yes, I lost my confidence. I don't expect that I'll ever completely regain what I once had, but I want to thank you for the encouragement, rah-rahs, and smiles you've provided since I found your channel 4 years ago. You are a much needed positive force in this world . . . and you are a cutie-pie too! Love your smile and sparkling eyes!
Hello, Diane. You look so beautiful these days! I lost my confidence last year when I lost my partner. It’s been a journey this past year with the support of my supportive family and dear friends to come through the grief. I always enjoy seeing your smile! ❤
Ooh do you have any Day In the Life videos, Diane? I'd love to see the flow of your morning dishes, set up for dinner dishes for the evening dinner etc
Your comment about never feeling pretty as a child really resonanted with me, i was a pretty child but teenage years were awful, copying trends, and hairstyles, trying to look like someone else just didnt work. 20s & 30s a bit easier with uniform of suits for working in the city, mid thirties to mid 40s got a bit lost just being a mum, having clean clothes was the main aim. Turned 50 in August and a combination of DYT but also knowing and accepting myself and my shape, knowing the boho is never going to look good on me has helped me find confidence, and am even taking time to accessorise. I look at my daughter who is 14, gorgeous and makes the most of herself, and am glad she doesnt seem to have such struggles at the moment ...... although am keeping a close eye as think her generation will have different issues around perfection with social media and influencers painting unrealistic/unattainable images. So glad us more mature women are coming into our own 🎉🎉🎉
I remember when you did this interview! I am almost 50 and still struggle with this aspect of my life. My goal is to have a capsule wardrobe. Haven’t bought anything in years but slowly have been decluttering my closet. Hearing your “whys” when you decide to declutter a clothing item has helped me tremendously. I am hoping to be decluttered enough by next summer to slowly incorporate some clothing pieces that suit me better and hopefully from a clothes swap ❤
I'm nearing 50 as well and had to leave a physically demanding job so it's a struggle to find work and my place and purpose in this world. To add to that, I'm perimenopausal plus I found out I have an autoimmune disease to do with an underactive thyroid so the weight gain has been steady. Accepting where I am today and having zero tolerance for ill-fitting clothes had given me a great start toward getting my confidence back. Good luck with your journey too!
@@jennyjenkins877 it’s difficult when we have challenges to overcome but seems like you are doing great figuring out what suits you best. I think if I had to find my style for work, this issue would be more pressing for me. I work in the spa industry and we usually wear all black ( or white but my spa currently is all black) and I really dislike black clothing. Also live in a warm weather climate so that also limits clothing down and can get a bit boring and for me, when i get bored; I lose interest quickly. I have a few outfits I usually lean on when I need to be extra confident. I just need to get rid of the rest and build on the piece I love and make it a priority.
Boundaries. That's the key to self respect and confidence. No more putting up with living by the it's nice to be nice rule. It is nice to be nice, but no to the point of being walked over, belittled and bullied. I've never tried to make sense of what I like to wear, but being autistic I can go from colours defining what I put on to only wearing a certain style. Like with food, I can have the same thing every day for 6 months then never eat it again.😂 I loved this deeper dive into what lights your candles ! Hope you're having a rerr time. ❤
Hi Diane, This is a fantastic interview, and you deserve every single accolade you get. What you put out into the world is so joyous, you radiate life, health, beauty, community and you’ve been so generous sharing so much with us over the years. I’ve followed you and been inspired by you for maybe 7/8 years now, and despite your success, you remain so humble and down-to-earth. What’s helped me feel more confident in my style, as well as constant decluttering, is choosing a smaller colour palette, less pattern and so most of my clothes “go” together well, I no longer waste time “creating outfits”. I try to buy less, but better quality and care for my clothes and shoes well so they earn their keep. I realised that thrifting fast fashion items was cluttering up my wardrobe, so I only thrift things like wool winter coats now, choosing to buy the rest of my wardrobe in sales / shops so I value the items more.

This was lovely Diane, I SO needed to hear this today! This video really spoke to me. I absolutely love your channel. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing some of your journey in the interview with Carol Tuttle. It was dark & breezy 10C at 5:30am this morning, where you can hear the rustling of trees, the fallen crispy leaves rolling down the pavement, when I lit a candle to make a pot of green tea while sipping hot water & lemon, and began to listened to the interview which put a smile on my face. ❤ I got here by following you Diane for the last couple of years. You've helped me declutter (and still do!), form routines that work for me, I'm working towards a capsule wardrobe, and discovered hygge along the way. A big THANK YOU, and still love watching or listening to you!
Bravo Diane! You are a beautiful women and your confidence is contagious 😊. I found when I had my kids and gained some weight I struggled. It’s hard comparing yourself and dealing with a changing body.
This was such a fun video! I have been watching your channel and sharing it with my sisters since you started your RUclips channel. Your help with the Flylady system and dressing your truth as well as all the other aspects you provide have been a joy. Enjoy your visit with your mum. I am looking forward to your future videos. Thank you.
Wow Diane what a journey! I started following you back at the end of 2016…. I didn’t subscribe to start with I just used to search each time! I didn’t comment for ages because everyone said “RUclips is so negative “ but your channel is not like that at all! Everyone is so lovely and helpful, you’ve created something very special and you should be so proud of yourself. Your energy and enthusiasm shines through with every little chat you have with us. Well done, you are awesome xx
Thank you Diane, your fly lady videos and DYT videos helped me find DYT and the two combined have boosted my confidence so much. I feel beautiful and put together every day, and now I can’t just bum around the house, I have to at least wear my DYT clothes. Another great video, 40+ but needed this.
Great video Diane…love seeing women of our age doing great things. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing how you got your confidence back. Keep being you because you are amazing! 🎉👏🏻🎉
Hi Diane, your personality has always been shining through, no matter what clothes you were wearing, but after using DYT it was easier to see, kind of polished… I’d never considered myself a type 1 without reading (studying) Carol's book, but I’m the 'floppy' type 1, never wearing jackets, if I can avoid it, loving silk and viskose, waving around me. Although I’ve radically given away all super dark stuff, my small wardrobe seems to explode at times and there are these boxes… thank you for your honesty. There are times in life we simply can’t follow our decisions. But routines are helpers and people with the same experiences, too. Almost no words needed, we recognize each other. Off topic: I’m an autumn bather 🍂🏊♀🍁now, found a wonderful retro 'badeanstalt' in Rudkøbing, where I can swim every day in the sea, if the grass at our beach is too much (ulekker). Meeting some elderly ladies like me (and even older) every day, enjoying some hyggesnak…Love from Denmark 🇩🇰 and thank you and Carol so much for sharing, Monika❣
Your journey inspires me, Diane. T3-1 here, so I’m learning to embrace my “get it done” energy through established routines- which I have to keep fun and fresh. The past I’m leaving behind?… t2 go with the flow.
I’m so sad to hear that you felt this way when you were giving me so much comfort and “brightness,” to my day from almost the very beginning of your videos. For years I’ve been watching and re-watching you just to get out of bed in the morning. Please know that you’re a very special person and mean a lot to us - even though we haven’t ever met! Wishing you every comfort and happiness, Karina. 🩷🦜🦜
Thank you Diane! Very inspiring and thoughtful. I will definitely check out the Dressing Your Truth free course as I am not feeing as comfortable with my clothes as I would like to be. Our style may change at different times in ones life, so thanks again for the inspiration. 🤗
Thank you for this really interesting conversation. It made me reflect on a number of things. I had a coaching call with you, maybe 2 years ago. Then we established that I'm a no 4 in dressing your truth. From this conversation I understand that my secondary is no 1. For many years I let my no 1 dominate. But I didn't feel in balance. Now when I'm grounded in no 4 I feel much more confident.
Hello from Verona-Italy, the wonderful part of watching and listening to you is that we working -over 50 yo ladies can relate to a normal life you share, your humble advice and encouragement you so kindly give. Don't change a thing...Thank you for what you do!
Dear, Diane ❤ I've been following you since 2019 and couldn't be more grateful for having found your channel. You are always an inspiration. I wish I look and feel like you when I'm in my fifties❤
Wow I liked the words of Carol - "should" comparison, and 'meant" your genuine purpose/intent. I have seen the growth in your confidence Diane but I have always loved how you have stayed true to yourself, change and growth is inevitable and warmly welcomed. You deserve every success you have helped so many people and thank you for that.
I've been on RUclips since 2006, mainly watched vlogs and used to post my fair share but took a break from posting and set the almost all my videos to private. I find I enjoy watching vlogs still, cleaning, organizing and such. GREAT video. Lack of confidence happened to me several years ago, due to illness, and chronic pain. I came to RUclips to watch vlogs and take my mind off my own limitations. When I watch your videos and my husband hears your voice, he shouts Rah Rah Rah! LOL
I will be forever grateful I found you Diane. You were a light in the darkness I was experiencing at the time and meeting your lovely, smiling self in a bookshop in Edinburgh cemented that I was on the right path. I’m watching this smiling and nodding in agreement with you. With your kind help by sharing your discoveries, ideas and methods I’m the most me I’ve ever been at 54 and my home is organised. Thank you so much. Wishing you every happiness moving forward. 🖖😘❤️
This was lovely Diane ❤️ I have really enjoyed watching your videos the last few years and I am so glad I found you ❤️❤️You really are a bright spot in my day ✨
You look fabulous!!! I like your hair the way you wear it now. You are naturally very attractive and your clothes choices just enhance your coloration and make you look alive. You inspire me a lot. Thanks!
WOW, that was exactly what I needed without even knowing it. Being in a very transformational season of life DYT looks like to be the missing piece to move forward successfully. Did the test, type 4, 100% and happy about it. Thank you Diane for posting this interview!
I hundred percent agree, DYT is a great piece that joined my journey couple of years ago. I also did the quiz, and also came out type four, but I am anything but type for it turns out! I would look into facial profiling in the beginners course on the website as well. I found that I had been thinking I should be, and as a type one easily adjusted to acting as, a type 4 in the surroundings I am in, even when it didn’t always agree with me so to speak. You may very well be type 4, I can’t say! Just saying that sometimes the quiz just gives you an idea, but not a true identification.
That was so helpful! Thank you for sharing. I loved your wardrobe before I knew I was a T1 and it made so much sense after I found out I was a T1. I think my second is a T4 since when things get tough, I get very lock in and structured.
Diane I want to thank you for this great RUclips video. I found you by watching the Get Organized HQ presentation in 2023 in the US. I enjoyed the presentation you did for that event. I have now started watching your other RUclips videos and they are so helpful. I have delighted in watching you and learning from all your time tested life wisdom. I truly value your kind, generous and uplifting personality. I wish you and your followers only the best finding their true passion and most productive daily rituals to make their lives more peaceful, joyful and rewarding .
Hi Diane. Rewatching this very early this morning (3:30AM!). I see I commented 4 months ago 😂😂 Same thoughts …. You have found your gift and the way you have chosen to share it with your own personal joy. You have enriched my life so much. Just the power of your positivity and shaking off the bad/sad/depressing stuff and moving forward “one foot in front of the other”. Such a simple way to look at life’s many challenges.
Wow, this is such a great, uplifting, practical, enjoyable interview! Thanks so much! It Motivation me to just be myself and bring to the world and my sourroundings what I have to give. 🎉❤ I also found Dress Your Truth through Diane. I love both of your channels and contents! You both make a big Differenzen in people's lives and contribute to their finding their happiness and balance.
I love seeing your closet! All the colors look so pretty & bright & uplifting! My type 1 closet seems so dark, when I look at my clothes. I just haven’t gotten into the brighter colors yet, but your clothes and how you put them together give me inspiration. Thanks for posting this interview.
Your intro made me teary! I'm sorry you didn't feel pretty or "like" what you saw in the mirror before. My heart aches to hear that. But so amazing to see that transformation. Thank you for sharing your process and transformation with us.
This was such an inspiring interview! It is obvious how much respect and affection you and Carol have for each other. I love that you said you knew women would find you when they needed to because that's exactly what happened to me. I first found your channel in 2017 after I was coming off a particularly bad case of flu that left me bedridden for three weeks and without any energy for a long time and my house was a mess. I remember how hopeful I felt when you said to just set a timer for 15 minutes and do what you can. You said if you can't do 15 minutes, do 10, and if you can't do 10, just set it for two minutes and do what you can. I remember it like it was yesterday and you have continued to help me ever since. Thank you. I also remember when you started Dressing Your Truth - actually I'm not sure exactly when you started because I was watching both your old and new videos at that time, but I remember your video about starting your journey with it.
I’ll add my thanks to this thread, Diane! Technically I did not find DYT through you, but when somebody mentioned it on a thread under someone else’s video in Feb. 2021, and I googled it, one of your videos about the subject came up. Since I knew you and had watched some of your videos, I went there first. So you were kind of like a bridge into it. :-) I now know that I am a type 1/3. A lot of me struggles with resisting almost any kind of routine, even setting a timer is not necessarily a big motivation for me. Yet as I grow and shift energetically and keep making changes in my home, it’s feeling so much more peaceful! 😊❤ I guess I’m figuring out what works for me, sifting and sorting, taking ideas from different people, and keeping what works. And there’s no doubt still more to come!
Thank you Diane for you for all your great ideas and support. You are always a welcomed pick me up no matter how my day is going. Yay Diane, ra ra ra! :)
Thank you Diane it was really great to see your interview with Carol. What I really love about your channel is your natural energy. It’s so uplifting. I also appreciate that you don’t make those slick videos with music. I enjoyed my coaching session last year and found it so helpful. Looking forward to more motivation to keep decluttering. Thanks again for being such a bright spot in my day. Cheers Wendy
This was such a joy to list too, Diane! You always bring a smile to my day and have truly helped me change my house and stay on track in this crazy world!
You are the best Diane, because you are authentic and it comes across that you are doing it because you love doing what you do. You can't buy that, and that's why people love to follow you. Keep doing what you do as you do it best xxxx
Oh Diane, I enjoyed this so much. I got up extra early so I could watch it before work. Being a solid Type 1 (secondary 4 I think) I always draw inspiration from you but fall off from practicing it myself consistently. When you said "Oh I don't want to be cute" and Carol said that's a common reaction for Ones, my jaw dropped. Because part of my resistance has been not being taken seriously. But I realize, just by being myself I am taken seriously quite often. It's definitely a learning curve and I so much appreciate you being a guide. Thank you for just being you. Sending you my sincerest gratitude ❤
Yay, glad you enjoyed it, Liz! And now, please step away from the black, ha ha! Carol made a great point once about T1s. When we dress in black (or the wrong colours), especially in business situations, we come across as less serious because our energy/brightness doesn't match what we are wearing. We show much more authority when we are in sync. Funnily enough, when I worked at the Court, I always wore navy suits (very rarely black). My sixth sense was working back then!
Diane, I just love your attitude. I love how you present flylady. You stick to your convictions, and you have definitely found your colors in "Dressing your truth." You are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤😊 I have never lost confidence, but I am trying cool water swimming. So far, so good. You're my inspiration..
Oh Diane, how come I've just found this lovely long video of yours?! For what it's worth, I always think you look fabulous, right from the beginning of your RUclips journey. You're a very stylish lady 😊 Since I was a child, I have been into tidiness, decluttering, creating order where there is none (I was such a fun child 😂). I think it's just my personality. I don't thrive where there's lots of 'stuff'. I, like manu women in our age group, have struggled with clothes and style. I've flirted with all the various systems, DYT, Colour me Beautiful, Project 333, capsule wardrobes, and feel like it's gradually coming together for me. I am gliding towards retirement (have lots of plans!) and as Dawn at The Minimal Mom says, I'm realising that there are seasons in our lives, and we need to let things go as we move from one season to another. I'm really embracing that this year, I even have a word of the year - Simplify 😊 You are a shining testimonial for DYT, I think I'll look into it again. X
I enjoyed this video with you simply being you! I really like the idea of using only your cell phone to make all of your recordings. Keeping it all wonderfully simple!
Dear Diane, you are such a beautiful person both physically and spiritualy ! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your knowledge and expertise!Bisous from Alsace 🤗🤗🤗🤗🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇😘
Dear Diane! What a nice heartwarming video. I indeed found you at the right time and you know how to encourage and cheer me up every time! You are so yourself, so authentic that I love following you. ❤ Katja
I just finished watching your video, Diane and it was fabulous. You always speak from the heart, and you are a genuine and caring person. I love how you share your outings and holidays, they are always great fun. You have helped me with my routines too. I’m a pretty organised person but needed some help with implementing routines and zone cleaning. Your phone is great too for filming. I like how you mention to ‘like’ your videos at the end because I can get so in grossed I forget 😊. Keep doing what you’re doing Diane and thank you❣️
You are wonderful. I've struggled figuring out my DYT type. You have really helped me with attitude - I say "Hey Ho, you make your own sunshine" often and routines and hygge. Always an inspiring!❤
This was such a great and helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. You are the only person I am following since you startet, because you always have fresh ideas und you lift me up. Thank you 😍
Dresses are a “one and done” speedy way to dress each morning. I purged my separates to simplify my life.
This was fabulous. I have loved having you as part of my life for the last several years. The “chats” at the kitchen table are always so lovely. Thanks for being you.
Have you ever lost your confidence? When did it happen, do you know why? How did you regain your confidence and self-esteem? Hope you enjoy today's video - it's a long one but hopefully worth the listen! 👋🏼😊
You are "GORGEOUS" ❤
Yes Diane. I lost my self esteem due to my family issues feeling I wasn't loved because they cut me out of their lives. It's been very difficult but a few years back I found you and your videos motivated me to get back on track with my house. I learnt not to feel over whelmed when everything felt a mess and I didn't know where to start. You truly have been a motivator.
I looked at the dressing your truth a few years ago and loved hiw it works but still couldn't work out what I was 🤔. Maybe I'll revisit that again because my wardrobe is a real sticking point for me.
Thank you for all your videos. I too don't comment as much as I used to but I do enjoy watching you 😊
😊
Hi Jules!@@julesanne52 No need to struggle with your Type! Did you know that Carol gives type help once a month in the Lifestyle group? So nice to know for sure!
Diane I didn't know
Aw, I got emotional watching you getting emotional at the start of this. I could tell that it had taken you a few takes. It’s challenging losing yourself a bit and losing confidence. Thank you for opening up about it and sharing it.
You have helped me so much that I can ‘hear’ you and your wise words as I go about my day. It’s lovely to see you and your Mum in Edinburgh and I hope you had or are having a lovely time.
Thanks again for showing me how to live life better. ❤
Thanks, Jude! Yes, I had to redo the video a couple of times because I got a bit overcome with tears, ha ha! But all positive ones!
There's no other organizer/motivator I find as inspiring or helpful as you Diane! Keep shining and thanks for putting the good energy out there for us! You look fabulous in the pink jacket you're wearing! Sending good energy to you from Pennsylvania, U.S. 🌅

You are a special person to your family and those who follow you on RUclips cause you have the confidence and self esteem too.
Thank you, Vanessa! I appreciate your support! 👋🏼😊

I hear your voice in my head, Diane, when I go about my tasks. "It doesn't have to be perfect." Such a simple statement and yet so kind.
Yes, I lost my confidence. I don't expect that I'll ever completely regain what I once had, but I want to thank you for the encouragement, rah-rahs, and smiles you've provided since I found your channel 4 years ago.

You’re so lovely Diane, such an inspiration to others. Thanks for all you give and share.
Perfect Sunday night viewing while getting ready for the week ahead 🤩

Type 4 praise is always much appreciated, thank you, Patti!

Hi Diane, This is a fantastic interview, and you deserve every single accolade you get. What you put out into the world is so joyous, you radiate life, health, beauty, community and you’ve been so generous sharing so much with us over the years. I’ve followed you and been inspired by you for maybe 7/8 years now, and despite your success, you remain so humble and down-to-earth.
What’s helped me feel more confident in my style, as well as constant decluttering, is choosing a smaller colour palette, less pattern and so most of my clothes “go” together well, I no longer waste time “creating outfits”. I try to buy less, but better quality and care for my clothes and shoes well so they earn their keep. I realised that thrifting fast fashion items was cluttering up my wardrobe, so I only thrift things like wool winter coats now, choosing to buy the rest of my wardrobe in sales / shops so I value the items more.

Thanks, Niamh! Do you know your Type, is it 4?
You are a delight, Diane! You have inspired me for years. Thank you. 💜
This was lovely Diane, I SO needed to hear this today! This video really spoke to me. I absolutely love your channel. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome, Michelle!
Excellent! Thanks be safe on your trip
Always love hearing from you Diane! ❤
Thank you so much, Ashandu!
Thank you for sharing some of your journey in the interview with Carol Tuttle. It was dark & breezy 10C at 5:30am this morning, where you can hear the rustling of trees, the fallen crispy leaves rolling down the pavement, when I lit a candle to make a pot of green tea while sipping hot water & lemon, and began to listened to the interview which put a smile on my face. ❤
I got here by following you Diane for the last couple of years. You've helped me declutter (and still do!), form routines that work for me, I'm working towards a capsule wardrobe, and discovered hygge along the way. A big THANK YOU, and still love watching or listening to you!
Bravo Diane! You are a beautiful women and your confidence is contagious 😊. I found when I had my kids and gained some weight I struggled. It’s hard comparing yourself and dealing with a changing body.
I hear ya - motherhood has affected me too
This was such a fun video! I have been watching your channel and sharing it with my sisters since you started your RUclips channel. Your help with the Flylady system and dressing your truth as well as all the other aspects you provide have been a joy. Enjoy your visit with your mum. I am looking forward to your future videos. Thank you.
Wow Diane what a journey! I started following you back at the end of 2016…. I didn’t subscribe to start with I just used to search each time! I didn’t comment for ages because everyone said “RUclips is so negative “ but your channel is not like that at all! Everyone is so lovely and helpful, you’ve created something very special and you should be so proud of yourself. Your energy and enthusiasm shines through with every little chat you have with us. Well done, you are awesome xx
Thank you Diane, your fly lady videos and DYT videos helped me find DYT and the two combined have boosted my confidence so much. I feel beautiful and put together every day, and now I can’t just bum around the house, I have to at least wear my DYT clothes. Another great video, 40+ but needed this.
Lovely watch. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Thanks for watching, Christine! 😍
Great video Diane…love seeing women of our age doing great things. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing how you got your confidence back. Keep being you because you are amazing! 🎉👏🏻🎉
Hi Diane, your personality has always been shining through, no matter what clothes you were wearing, but after using DYT it was easier to see, kind of polished… I’d never considered myself a type 1 without reading (studying) Carol's book, but I’m the 'floppy' type 1, never wearing jackets, if I can avoid it, loving silk and viskose, waving around me. Although I’ve radically given away all super dark stuff, my small wardrobe seems to explode at times and there are these boxes… thank you for your honesty. There are times in life we simply can’t follow our decisions. But routines are helpers and people with the same experiences, too. Almost no words needed, we recognize each other. Off topic: I’m an autumn bather 🍂🏊♀🍁now, found a wonderful retro 'badeanstalt' in Rudkøbing, where I can swim every day in the sea, if the grass at our beach is too much (ulekker). Meeting some elderly ladies like me (and even older) every day, enjoying some hyggesnak…Love from Denmark 🇩🇰 and thank you and Carol so much for sharing, Monika❣
Your journey inspires me, Diane. T3-1 here, so I’m learning to embrace my “get it done” energy through established routines- which I have to keep fun and fresh. The past I’m leaving behind?… t2 go with the flow.
I’m so sad to hear that you felt this way when you were giving me so much comfort and “brightness,” to my day from almost the very beginning of your videos. For years I’ve been watching and re-watching you just to get out of bed in the morning. Please know that you’re a very special person and mean a lot to us - even though we haven’t ever met! Wishing you every comfort and happiness, Karina. 🩷🦜🦜
Thank you Diane! Very inspiring and thoughtful. I will definitely check out the Dressing Your Truth free course as I am not feeing as comfortable with my clothes as I would like to be. Our style may change at different times in ones life, so thanks again for the inspiration. 🤗
You’re truly an inspiration Diane! ❤ Thank you for sharing your videos with the world, Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Loved seeing snippets of your old job and life in Luxembourg
I love your smile and you have always looked great and put together to me! Thanks for continuing to inspire us Diane.
Thank you for this really interesting conversation. It made me reflect on a number of things. I had a coaching call with you, maybe 2 years ago. Then we established that I'm a no 4 in dressing your truth. From this conversation I understand that my secondary is no 1.
For many years I let my no 1 dominate. But I didn't feel in balance. Now when I'm grounded in no 4 I feel much more confident.
Good to see you, Ingmari! Yes, knowing our types makes life so much easier: clothes, routines, relations with others!
Hello from Verona-Italy, the wonderful part of watching and listening to you is that we working -over 50 yo ladies can relate to a normal life you share, your humble advice and encouragement you so kindly give. Don't change a thing...Thank you for what you do!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you are such an inspiration, feeling bit low tonight and hear you are making us feel better xxx THANK YOU
Thank you for sharing this!
What a wonderfully inspiring video ✨ Your positive, uplifting energy is your super power Diane. Thank you for everything you do 💛🌟💛
Such a great interview! I saw it when Carol originally interviewed you. I'm also a Type 1 member of DYT Lifestyle. Thank you for posting this!
Hello, fellow type 1!
Hello!
Dear, Diane ❤ I've been following you since 2019 and couldn't be more grateful for having found your channel. You are always an inspiration. I wish I look and feel like you when I'm in my fifties❤
Wow I liked the words of Carol - "should" comparison, and 'meant" your genuine purpose/intent. I have seen the growth in your confidence Diane but I have always loved how you have stayed true to yourself, change and growth is inevitable and warmly welcomed. You deserve every success you have helped so many people and thank you for that.
It was really nice to see you and Carol and to hear about the idea behind. You are the best. thank you for all your work!!!
You are an encouragement to many of us.
I've been on RUclips since 2006, mainly watched vlogs and used to post my fair share but took a break from posting and set the almost all my videos to private. I find I enjoy watching vlogs still, cleaning, organizing and such. GREAT video. Lack of confidence happened to me several years ago, due to illness, and chronic pain. I came to RUclips to watch vlogs and take my mind off my own limitations. When I watch your videos and my husband hears your voice, he shouts Rah Rah Rah! LOL
I will be forever grateful I found you Diane. You were a light in the darkness I was experiencing at the time and meeting your lovely, smiling self in a bookshop in Edinburgh cemented that I was on the right path. I’m watching this smiling and nodding in agreement with you. With your kind help by sharing your discoveries, ideas and methods I’m the most me I’ve ever been at 54 and my home is organised. Thank you so much. Wishing you every happiness moving forward. 🖖😘❤️
🙏😊 I remember that day so well, Mandy!
❤️
Beautiful Diane, you're making me cry!
This was lovely Diane ❤️ I have really enjoyed watching your videos the last few years and I am so glad I found you ❤️❤️You really are a bright spot in my day ✨
You look fabulous!!! I like your hair the way you wear it now. You are naturally very attractive and your clothes choices just enhance your coloration and make you look alive. You inspire me a lot. Thanks!
Thank you so much, Lana!
WOW, that was exactly what I needed without even knowing it. Being in a very transformational season of life DYT looks like to be the missing piece to move forward successfully. Did the test, type 4, 100% and happy about it. Thank you Diane for posting this interview!
I hundred percent agree, DYT is a great piece that joined my journey couple of years ago.
I also did the quiz, and also came out type four, but I am anything but type for it turns out! I would look into facial profiling in the beginners course on the website as well. I found that I had been thinking I should be, and as a type one easily adjusted to acting as, a type 4 in the surroundings I am in, even when it didn’t always agree with me so to speak.
You may very well be type 4, I can’t say! Just saying that sometimes the quiz just gives you an idea, but not a true identification.
That was so helpful! Thank you for sharing. I loved your wardrobe before I knew I was a T1 and it made so much sense after I found out I was a T1. I think my second is a T4 since when things get tough, I get very lock in and structured.
Diane I want to thank you for this great RUclips video. I found you by watching the Get Organized HQ presentation in 2023 in the US. I enjoyed the presentation you did for that event. I have now started watching your other RUclips videos and they are so helpful. I have delighted in watching you and learning from all your time tested life wisdom. I truly value your kind, generous and uplifting personality. I wish you and your followers only the best finding their true passion and most productive daily rituals to make their lives more peaceful, joyful and rewarding .
Hi Diane. Rewatching this very early this morning (3:30AM!).
I see I commented 4 months ago 😂😂
Same thoughts ….
You have found your gift and the way you have chosen to share it with your own personal joy.
You have enriched my life so much. Just the power of your positivity and shaking off the bad/sad/depressing stuff and moving forward “one foot in front of the other”. Such a simple way to look at life’s many challenges.
You are a bright light. Keep it up and Thank You.
Wow, this is such a great, uplifting, practical, enjoyable interview! Thanks so much! It Motivation me to just be myself and bring to the world and my sourroundings what I have to give. 🎉❤ I also found Dress Your Truth through Diane. I love both of your channels and contents! You both make a big Differenzen in people's lives and contribute to their finding their happiness and balance.
I love seeing your closet! All the colors look so pretty & bright & uplifting! My type 1 closet seems so dark, when I look at my clothes. I just haven’t gotten into the brighter colors yet, but your clothes and how you put them together give me inspiration. Thanks for posting this interview.
Hi Lisa! You don't need to struggle with finding your Type! Carol gives type help in the Dressing Your Truth Lifestyle group once a month!
So encouraging and a good reminder to honor yourself first.
Your intro made me teary! I'm sorry you didn't feel pretty or "like" what you saw in the mirror before. My heart aches to hear that. But so amazing to see that transformation. Thank you for sharing your process and transformation with us.
This was such an inspiring interview! It is obvious how much respect and affection you and Carol have for each other. I love that you said you knew women would find you when they needed to because that's exactly what happened to me. I first found your channel in 2017 after I was coming off a particularly bad case of flu that left me bedridden for three weeks and without any energy for a long time and my house was a mess. I remember how hopeful I felt when you said to just set a timer for 15 minutes and do what you can. You said if you can't do 15 minutes, do 10, and if you can't do 10, just set it for two minutes and do what you can. I remember it like it was yesterday and you have continued to help me ever since. Thank you. I also remember when you started Dressing Your Truth - actually I'm not sure exactly when you started because I was watching both your old and new videos at that time, but I remember your video about starting your journey with it.
I'm so glad you have been moving forward, Sharon! Well done!
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you!
I’ll add my thanks to this thread, Diane! Technically I did not find DYT through you, but when somebody mentioned it on a thread under someone else’s video in Feb. 2021, and I googled it, one of your videos about the subject came up. Since I knew you and had watched some of your videos, I went there first. So you were kind of like a bridge into it. :-)
I now know that I am a type 1/3. A lot of me struggles with resisting almost any kind of routine, even setting a timer is not necessarily a big motivation for me. Yet as I grow and shift energetically and keep making changes in my home, it’s feeling so much more peaceful! 😊❤ I guess I’m figuring out what works for me, sifting and sorting, taking ideas from different people, and keeping what works. And there’s no doubt still more to come!
Thank you Diane for you for all your great ideas and support. You are always a welcomed pick me up no matter how my day is going. Yay Diane, ra ra ra! :)
Love the interview sweet Dianne. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Thank you Diane it was really great to see your interview with Carol. What I really love about your channel is your natural energy. It’s so uplifting. I also appreciate that you don’t make those slick videos with music. I enjoyed my coaching session last year and found it so helpful. Looking forward to more motivation to keep decluttering. Thanks again for being such a bright spot in my day. Cheers Wendy
Aww, thank you so much, Wendy! Hope your Routines are going well!!
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your heart with us! Love your videos ❤
Me, too! Found you last year when I retired. Love you and your videos!
This was such a joy to list too, Diane!
You always bring a smile to my day and have truly helped me change my house and stay on track in this crazy world!
I'm so glad, Rachel!
I have been watching you for years now and have loved every video you’ve done. Thank you for sharing. X
Please do not feel uncomfortable asking people to like and subscribe. You have a lot to offer the world. Thank you!🦋🦋🦋
You are the best Diane, because you are authentic and it comes across that you are doing it because you love doing what you do. You can't buy that, and that's why people love to follow you. Keep doing what you do as you do it best xxxx
Oh Diane, I enjoyed this so much. I got up extra early so I could watch it before work. Being a solid Type 1 (secondary 4 I think) I always draw inspiration from you but fall off from practicing it myself consistently. When you said "Oh I don't want to be cute" and Carol said that's a common reaction for Ones, my jaw dropped. Because part of my resistance has been not being taken seriously. But I realize, just by being myself I am taken seriously quite often. It's definitely a learning curve and I so much appreciate you being a guide. Thank you for just being you. Sending you my sincerest gratitude ❤
Yay, glad you enjoyed it, Liz! And now, please step away from the black, ha ha! Carol made a great point once about T1s. When we dress in black (or the wrong colours), especially in business situations, we come across as less serious because our energy/brightness doesn't match what we are wearing. We show much more authority when we are in sync. Funnily enough, when I worked at the Court, I always wore navy suits (very rarely black). My sixth sense was working back then!
Thanks so much for your honesty! Fabulous chat. Can’t understand haters, glad you can ignore them and move on 😊
Diane, I just love your attitude. I love how you present flylady. You stick to your convictions, and you have definitely found your colors in "Dressing your truth." You are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤😊
I have never lost confidence, but I am trying cool water swimming. So far, so good. You're my inspiration..
Oh, I love that you are embracing the cold water swimming - go you!!
Oh Diane, how come I've just found this lovely long video of yours?! For what it's worth, I always think you look fabulous, right from the beginning of your RUclips journey. You're a very stylish lady 😊 Since I was a child, I have been into tidiness, decluttering, creating order where there is none (I was such a fun child 😂). I think it's just my personality. I don't thrive where there's lots of 'stuff'. I, like manu women in our age group, have struggled with clothes and style. I've flirted with all the various systems, DYT, Colour me Beautiful, Project 333, capsule wardrobes, and feel like it's gradually coming together for me. I am gliding towards retirement (have lots of plans!) and as Dawn at The Minimal Mom says, I'm realising that there are seasons in our lives, and we need to let things go as we move from one season to another. I'm really embracing that this year, I even have a word of the year - Simplify 😊 You are a shining testimonial for DYT, I think I'll look into it again. X
Thankyou Diane, I'm a type 1, it took me a while to accept my cuteness too! Thank you for helping me grow into my 50's. Much love from Scotland
I enjoyed this video with you simply being you! I really like the idea of using only your cell phone to make all of your recordings. Keeping it all wonderfully simple!
Thank you so much, Carol!
Dear Diane, you are such a beautiful person both physically and spiritualy ! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your knowledge and expertise!Bisous from Alsace 🤗🤗🤗🤗🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇😘
Dear Diane!
What a nice heartwarming video.
I indeed found you at the right time and you know how to encourage and cheer me up every time! You are so yourself, so authentic that I love following you.
❤ Katja
I just finished watching your video, Diane and it was fabulous. You always speak from the heart, and you are a genuine and caring person. I love how you share your outings and holidays, they are always great fun. You have helped me with my routines too. I’m a pretty organised person but needed some help with implementing routines and zone cleaning. Your phone is great too for filming. I like how you mention to ‘like’ your videos at the end because I can get so in grossed I forget 😊. Keep doing what you’re doing Diane and thank you❣️
Absolutely love you and your channel Diane 🥰 You are so motivational and a joy to listen to 🤩 xxx
WELL DONE
Thank you so much!
I appreciate you, Marla, with FlyLady and Carol Tuttle.
I agree. I watch her because she is delightful!
Aww, thank you, Kristi!
Enjoyed this very much. Just looked up the types…fascinating. Going to dig deeper into this. You are inspiring and such a bright light. Thank you.
Thank you so much for a lovely video!!!❤
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this and for your honesty. So helpful and yes; good to see you!! Cheering on the day!!
Diane, thank you for sharing this video and your interview. It was very encouraging! I hope you have a wonderful visit with your Mum!
This was a great review of highlights of the key things you emphasize. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful, Julia!
Lovely interview!
You are wonderful. I've struggled figuring out my DYT type. You have really helped me with attitude - I say "Hey Ho, you make your own sunshine" often and routines and hygge. Always an inspiring!❤
you ARE amazing! I feel like I'm on this journey...not quite there, thank you so much!!
You are an amazing women. You have helped me so much. Luv you.
I'm so glad, Kathy - thank you!
This was such a great and helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. You are the only person I am following since you startet, because you always have fresh ideas und you lift me up. Thank you 😍
I'm so glad! 👋🏼😊
