We’re looking forward to introducing you to Yane Díaz. Check out our conversation below.
Yane, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
I think a lot of people are secretly struggling with feeling like they’re living someone else’s definition of success.
On the outside, everything looks great: the career, the income, the life that checks all the boxes. But on the inside, there’s this quiet voice that wonders: Is this really what I want? Or just what was expected of me? Am I living my dream or someone else’s dream for me?
Most people never say it out loud because they’ve worked so hard to get here. But deep down, they’re craving something money can’t buy: clarity, peace, purpose…and a life they don’t feel they need a vacation from.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I believe the worst thing that can happen isn’t dying. It’s reaching the end of your life and realizing you never truly enjoyed being alive.
I’m Yane Díaz, AI Strategist, Clarity & Emotional Intelligence Mentor, and founder of Pazitud. Pazitud is my life philosophy and the DNA of everything I do. It’s a methodology I designed to be able to live and work with clarity, peace, and purpose, so we can actually enjoy our human experience instead of just surviving it. If interested, I explain pazitud and my story in detail in my TEDx Talk “Tu paz interior NO es negociable.”
I typically work with high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders that want to step off autopilot, reconnect with their essence, and create lives they actually love waking up to, not just ones that look “successful” from the outside.
Part of what makes my work unique is how I combine artificial intelligence, emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and conscious choice. I teach people and businesses how to use AI consciously, not to work harder, but to free time and energy for what truly matters: love, connection, meaning, and joy.
The world we’re heading into is uncertain. The lines between human and machine are blurring more every day. AI can mimic many things, but it will never have what makes us truly alive: soul, real emotion, the ability to feel life instead of just process it.
That’s why my work doesn’t stop at strategy or technology. I’m also an artist, creating music and experiences that go beyond words. Through sound, vibration, and intentional lyrics, I help people reconnect to their essence, to those deeper parts of their humanity where they can actually feel their own lives and remember the joy of being alive.
For me, everything I do, whether it’s AI integration, clarity coaching, or sound healing, is about one mission: helping people stay awake to what matters so they never reach the end of their lives feeling like they wasted it.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was pure joy. A little girl raised in a farm in Cuba who sang before she could speak, who turned everything into a microphone because expressing joy through sound felt like home. I was wonder and curiosity. I was that child who enjoyed entertaining the adults around me and who wanted to learn everything I could learn about life.
And then, like so many of us, I learned the rules. I learned that love came with conditions, that success had a script, that safety meant fitting in and becoming a successful lawyer. I traded my own dreams for the ones others dreamed for me. I climbed ladders that led nowhere my soul wanted to go. I looked “successful” on the outside, but inside, I felt empty, lost, and disconnected from who I truly was.
And that’s why today I do what I do. No one should go through that kind of pain. It’s inhumane but society has normalized that way of being and living. I hope to be a vehicle to expand human consciousness in that regard and help people come back home to themselves, to their Truth, their essence, their joy. Because life is too precious to live as someone you’re not.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
If I’m being completely honest, the fear that has held me back the most is the fear of choosing “wrong.”
I’ve always known I have big potential and many gifts to share, but for a long time, I lived under this heavy pressure to get it “right.” To follow the path that would make my family proud, that would feel safe, that would honor all the sacrifices my parents made to give me a beautiful life in this so-called “land of opportunity.”
Growing up, I put that weight on my own shoulders. I had to be the best student, the perfect daughter, the one who made sure all their struggles weren’t in vain. On paper, it made me look successful. Inside, it made me scared and disconnected. I still notice it sometimes when I make decisions. That little voice says, What would Dad think? What if I make the wrong move? What if I disappoint the people I love? What if I give my all to a dream and it doesn’t work out?
That fear has kept me scattered at times, afraid to fully commit to my own truth because choosing one path felt like closing a thousand others. And what if the one I chose wasn’t “it”?
But what I’ve learned is that the only wrong choice is living a life that isn’t truly mine. The real mistake is making decisions from fear instead of love. Today, I know that the best thing I can do for myself and for the people I love is to live in love, to live in peace, to be the fullest version of me. That energy, that presence, gives back far more than any “perfect” path or external success ever could.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
One important truth I hold close to my heart, that very few people seem to agree with me on, is that the point of life is not success as the world defines it. The point of life is to fully enjoy the experience of being alive.
The human body is just a suit. A temporary vehicle that allows us to touch, taste, feel, and experience this incredible gift of being human. We are here to live it all: the light, the darkness, and everything in between, but society has put so much conditioning on this suit, disguising it as “identity.” Rules about who you should be, how you should live, who you should love, what you should believe. Those are all constructs, designed to separate us from the one thing we were born knowing: LOVE.
God is not some external figure, sitting in the sky waiting to judge us. God is LOVE. God is the energy that lives inside each of us, a signature that connects us to something much bigger than ourselves.
This is why I believe success without peace, without alignment, without true connection to your soul and to love, is not really success at all. The only failure in life is to reach the end of it and realize you never truly felt alive.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing?
If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I will regret not fully stepping into the mission I feel God put in my heart. I will regret not using every gift I’ve been given… my voice, my mind, my creativity, my heart… to help people wake up to their own truth, to their own light, to their own joy.
I will regret letting fear or doubt stop me from creating everything that’s inside me to create. The music, the books, the teachings, the experiences that I know can touch lives in a way that words alone can’t. I will regret not reaching as many souls as I could have reached, not helping enough people free themselves from living lives that were never truly theirs.
And also, I’d regret not learning to play the piano well enough to bring out the music that is waiting to be released from my soul. That’s definitely next on my list.
Life is short, unpredictable, and precious. I plan to give everything I’ve got to remember and make sure people remember how to actually enjoy the miracle of being alive.
