About Diane Reading

Pragmatic Idealist • Joyful Rebel • Quiet Revolutionary

I’m Diane Reading — philosopher, happiness facilitator, and accidental rebel.

I’ve spent years studying intention, consciousness, energy, and human potential — but more importantly, how to live all of that in the real world without turning life into another self-help homework assignment.

I believe joy is power.
I believe consciousness is rebellion.
And I believe we’re long overdue for a quieter revolution — one that starts on the inside.

This space is where that exploration happens.

What you’ll find here

• reflections
• provocations
• philosophy with dirt under its nails
• podcast episodes
• things meant to wake you up — not calm you down

This isn’t self-help.
This is self-rebellion.

Where this is going

My book, WAKE UP: It’s Time to Change the World, is the fire behind this space.

The podcast is where the ideas come out raw and unscripted.
The future Guild is where the conversation deepens.

Everything else grows from there — organically, without force.

How to be part of it

Everything here is free to read and listen to.

If you want to join the quieter, deeper conversation beneath the posts, you can support the work with a small monthly contribution.

No pressure.
Just presence.

One more thing

I don’t promise answers.
I promise awakening.

Have fun — and let joy be your teacher.

— Diane
