Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely You: Lessons in Resilience & Possibility with Diana Fritz
In this episode, Candice sits down with executive leader and cancer thriver Diana Fritz, who has spent more than 25 years leading with authenticity, heart, and purpose. Diana shares her powerful story of navigating a rare cancer diagnosis, parenting through hardship, and choosing resilience as a daily practice. Her experiences have shaped her mission to help people feel valued, empowered, and fully themselves.
Diana opens up about the moments that tested her strength and the mindset shifts that helped her rise again. From her early role models to the life-changing lessons she discovered through treatment, she explains how challenges can become defining sources of purpose. Her journey reminds us that our imperfections and struggles can uniquely qualify us to help others.
In this episode, they discuss:
- How a rare cancer diagnosis transformed Diana’s path and strengthened her commitment to purpose
- The role early influences and sports played in shaping her resilience

Diana’s story is a reminder that resilience lives within all of us. When we embrace the parts of ourselves that feel imperfect, we unlock the possibility to rise, heal, and create meaningful impact in our lives and in the lives of others!
