Every day, just be enough.

~ Diane Berberian

It is with a mixture of both sadness and joy that we bring you this week’s episode of the Brilliantly Resilient podcast. Our dear friend, Diane Berberian, passed away peacefully last week after a long battle with cancer.

To say that Diane was a bright light is an understatement, but she never saw herself that way. In her mind, she was always “just Diane,” although she inspired so many with her grit and grace. A true Northeast Philly girl (we’re a tough lot!) Diane fought, but never looked like she was fighting, her wide, bright smile always at the ready.

When we spoke to Diane two years ago, she dropped too many Brilliance Bits to count, but her advice to “Every day, just be enough.” was brilliantly simple and striking. Do your best, help others, and just be enough. 

Tune into this episode to hear more of Diane’s simple, beautiful brilliance. Here are a few more quotes to listen for:

Sit still and think. People don’t take the time to sit still.

Find those people you belong to. There may be different people at different times. 

Beginners need to know that you get more than one chance if you fail. 

If I don’t ask, the answer will always be “No.” 

~ Diane Berberian

We love you, Diane. Thank you for sharing your light with us all.

Let’s be Brilliantly Resilient together.

XO,

KS & MFB
