About Me

Diana von Welanetz Wentworth is the author of eleven best-selling and award-winning books and the coauthor of two Chicken Soup for the Soul titles. Film rights to her romantic memoir, Send Me Someone, were purchased by the Lifetime Network. With her late husband Paul von Welanetz, she hosted a long-running television series and founded the Inside Edge (www.InsideEdge.org), a weekly breakfast forum in Southern California that helped launch the careers of many of the most celebrated authors and speakers of our day. Progressive business leaders still gather at the Inside Edge to discuss new ideas in psychology, science, global issues, success strategies, spiritual awareness, and the arts. Her other books include The Pleasure of Your Company (winner of the “Cookbook of the Year” Award), Celebrations: Menus for Entertaining, and The von Welanetz Guide to Ethnic Ingredients, considered the classic reference work on the foods of the world.

Diana has been an international keynote speaker at women’s meetings, writers conferences, and on cruise ships. She is a certified life coach who specializes in reinvention. She loves to support clients in reinventing their lives and writing their books while writing her 12th book, Expect Magic!

Diana lives in Palm springs, California, exploring the “Encore” chapters of her life. While she is writing her 12th book, Expect Magic!, she is also hosting Women’s Circles, participating in podcasts and interviews with wonderful hosts, as well as enjoying and appreciating the beauty each day holds. She is currently navigating this new chapter following the recent passing of her late loving husband, Ted Wentworth (www.TedWentworth.com).
