EP104 - A Joyful Conversation with Cancer Thriver Diana Fritz

Manana No Mas!

Get ready to be inspired by the radiant Diana Fritz on this uplifting episode of the Manana No Mas! Podcast. Diana, a proud cancer thriver, mom of two boys, and servant leader, joins host Kurt to share her incredible journey of overcoming a rare form of cancer with resilience, positivity, and purpose.

Referred by a mutual friend, Noemi Beres, Diana’s story is a perfect fit for the show, brimming with lessons that uplift and empower. Diana’s book, "Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified", captures the powerful lessons from her decade-long cancer journey, including multiple surgeries and radiation, all while balancing life as a single mom and executive.

With a contagious optimism, she emphasizes the freedom to choose a positive mindset and the importance of leading oneself through adversity. Her story transcends cancer, offering universal insights about moving past personal challenges—be it anger, grief, or any “cancer” holding us back.

From her leadership philosophy—where titles take a backseat to earning trust and adding value—to her heartfelt mission to support fellow patients, Diana’s approach is all about finding opportunities within obstacles. (Sound familiar?) Her company, Grit (UIUQ), reflects her belief that our imperfections uniquely qualify us to help others.

Whether she’s speaking to large audiences, leading workshops on resilience & communication, or planning a children’s book to inspire young minds, Diana’s energy is infectious. Tune in to hear Diana’s triumphant story, her practical wisdom, and her call to embrace every challenge as a chance to grow and serve.
