Meet Diana Marie
I have a red belt in kung fu
Hi, I’m Diana Marie — piano teacher turned Bible teacher, faith mentor, and podcast host. I’m the heart behind Circle Time for the Soul, a daily devotional podcast that’s reached over a quarter million downloads and nurtured a global community of women who are growing in their faith through real conversations, daily devotionals, and time in the Word.
Circle Time for the Soul is really just a grown-up version of something near and dear to my heart — those Saturday mornings when my parents would gather me and my sisters for family devotionals with Our Daily Bread. What started as a simple tradition has now become a worldwide invitation for women to slow down, open their Bibles, and spend real, unhurried time with God.
I’m also the author of the For the Soul prayer journal and a joyful digital nomad — teaching piano and sharing God’s Word from wherever I feel called, all while living my best life as the traveling auntie to friends and family around the world. I’m living proof that when you say “yes” to God, He’ll take your ordinary and make it purpose-filled.
I started teaching in college and have never stopped! Check out Episode 433 for my full career testimony! I currently teach 100% online and love it.
Anytime I need to pause and find peace, I make my way to the beach. It is most certainly a happy place for me and I was known as "water baby" growing up!
The beach is my happy place
fun facts!

a look back
Every journey has a beginning. From my early days of teaching piano to creating a space for faith-filled conversations, each step has shaped the heart of what I do today.

Although I was well into about 60 episodes by this time on YouTube, I decided to check out the world of Podcasting when I stumbled on Stef Gass' podcast and then bootcamp. Learning from another faith-focused entrepreneur was just what I needed!
Just 1.5 years in, Circle Time for The Soul has reached 100k downloads as it continues to reach women all over the world who are looking to grow their relationship with God!

I was handed my first piano teaching job at 20 years old. I had never taught in my life, or imagined myself doing so. God provided an opportunity to that prepare me for what He was ultimately calling me to in the future
I always knew I wanted to work in media in some sort, and when I started to do some research I was inspired to put out a YouTube video. But shortly after, God spoke to my heart that it would be "daily," and I knew YouTube was no longer sustainable.
