With a background in building consumer brands and a lifelong fascination with hair as a reflection of well-being, Dianna launched Crown Affair to fill a gap in the market: clean, effective products rooted in intention, craftsmanship, and care.

In this episode, Elizabeth and Dianna explore the connection between self-care and creativity, how The Artist’s Way continues to shape Dianna’s life and leadership, and why hair hygiene can be a calming daily ritual rather than a chore.
