Diane Halfman is on an international mission to help passionate, high achieving women entrepreneurs learn to live a life by design and not default. As the SpaLife Curator, she shows successful women how to infuse more harmony into the 9 key elements of their lives to consciously create more peace, beauty, freedom, and joy; all of which has a positive influence on the lasting impact and contribution that women--who are inspired, supported, and loved--make to the world. Diane’s gift is her ability to determine what’s holding you back and keeping you in a cycle of chaos just by spending a few minutes in your space. This innate skill was honed during her years working as an undercover police officer where she witnessed firsthand, the devastating affects a disorderly home has on the amount of drama that one attracts into her life. She saw this so much that she coined the term Clutter to Drama Ratio--the more clutter you have, the more drama and mental confusion you experience. The reverse is also true: the clearer the space, the more clarity of mind.

Born and raised in LaGrange, GA; Quay and his family have been entrenched in the history of LaGrange for decades. His grandmother, a loan officer committed to helping local residents secure affordable housing, was an integral part in shaping Quay into the man he has become, a man for the people.

He returned to LaGrange and picked up his servant mantle where he left off, using his voice to bring the people together. His journey is to spread the message of hope and faith and encourage others to believe in themselves. He is well known for doing just that throughout the city of LaGrange as a motivational speaker, author, community advocate, and District 2 City Councilman; with a 3 month stint of being the acting Mayor of LaGrange.
