Diana Vargas shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Diana, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Thank you for having me here again! Well, When I’m creating.
Whether I’m building a communication strategy for an artist, mentoring a woman through her next level, or shaping a message that can shift someone’s perception… I lose all sense of time.
I enter this space where purpose meets creativity.
That’s where I find myself again.
There’s something sacred about helping someone, an artist, a brand, or a woman, connect with their true voice. It reminds me of why I started in PR, and why today I’m also so passionate about mindset mentoring. Both worlds intersect in the same place: authentic expression.
So what makes me lose track of time is exactly what brings me back to myself, using my voice to elevate others, and helping them discover the power in theirs.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Diana Vargas — a PR strategist, communications expert, and mentor for women who are ready to step into their highest identity.
For the last 14 years, I’ve worked in the music industry helping artists shape their image, communicate their story with intention, and build a presence that truly positions them. That world taught me everything about visibility, credibility, and the power of a clear message.
Today, I combine that experience with my passion for personal growth. I mentor women who want to elevate their standards, reconnect with their purpose, and become the most confident version of themselves, not just in business, but in every area of their life.
My mission is simple: to help others find their voice, own their story, and become impossible to ignore.
That’s who I am. And this is the work I’m here to do.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The version of me that operated from survival, from fear, from overthinking, from trying to prove my worth, has served its purpose. She helped me get here, but she cannot take me where I’m going next.
I’m releasing the part of me that accepted less, that stayed quiet to keep the peace, and that carried responsibilities that were never mine. That version taught me resilience, but my next level requires clarity, boundaries, and a completely different standard.
Now I’m choosing alignment over pressure, purpose over validation, and expansion over fear.
Letting go of who I was is exactly what allows me to step fully into who I’m becoming.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell her: You don’t have to earn your worth, you were born with it.
I’d remind her that the strength she kept looking for outside was already inside her, and that the things she thought would break her were actually shaping the woman she was meant to become.
I’d tell her to trust her voice, trust her intuition, and trust that every detour is leading her somewhere meaningful.
And most of all, I’d tell her: One day you’ll look back and realize you were never lost, you were becoming.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, but it’s a curated version of me.
What people see publicly is real: my voice, my purpose, my love for communication, and the woman I’ve worked hard to become. But it’s not the whole story. The public version of me carries intention; she shows up with clarity, strength, and leadership because that’s the energy I want to give to the world.
The private version of me is softer, more vulnerable, and constantly evolving. She’s the one who does the inner work, who questions, who heals, and who rebuilds.
Both are real.
One serves my mission.
The other holds my truth.
And together, they make me who I am.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What false labels are you still carrying?
One of the biggest false labels I carried for years was the idea that I was “just one thing”, that I could only fit into one box, one role, or one version of myself.
For a long time, I believed I had to stay in the identity that everyone expected from me: the PR girl, the one who only knew how to do one thing and had to stay there to be valuable. That label served me for a while, but it no longer represents who I am.
I’ve grown. I’ve expanded.
I’m not the same woman I was before.
Today I’m a strategist, a communicator, a mentor, a creator, and a woman who can reinvent herself as many times as she needs. I’m releasing the idea that my worth depends on staying the same or being predictable.
That label was too small for the woman I’ve become.
Now I choose the truth: I am multifaceted, powerful, and allowed to evolve.
