From Passion to Power: How Diana Richardson Built a Global Legacy in Beauty and Business
Diana Richardson didn’t just take a career journey — she created her own. A true force in beauty, wellbeing, and skincare, Diana’s life is a guide for any entrepreneur that has ever dreamed big while forging a path in business. Diana has spent over 33 years with her business at the centre of her life, but while staying clear about wanting to enable other self-expression through marking and wellbeing. Today Diana continues to stand at the centre of her empire of thousands of entrepreneurs around the globe by helping them blossom in business while being themselves.
From her successful podcast, The Glowgetter Mentor, to international speakerships and best-selling books, Diana has created an empire not just of businesses but of belief.
What Sparked the Vision
Diana’s entrepreneurial journey began way before she even started her first business. Her love for people and connection, mixed with her fascination with beauty and wellness, encouraged her to go deeper than ever before. Her undergraduate studies in Communications at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, was where it all began. After that, she pursued a teaching degree at Greenwich University, a first in Strategic Innovation from the renowned Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and certification in Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness Coaching from Harvard Medical School. And so you end up with a leader who knows that education is not only power, but transformative power.
“I’ve always believed if you live to the full, then once is enough,” Diana says. It’s a mantra that echoes through every part of her career.
This philosophy would become the foundation of her work – melding intellect and intuition to help other people, not only understand what they want to build, why they want to build it.
Resilience Over Roadmaps
The entrepreneurial journey hasn’t always been this simple. Diana generously shared the 33 years of experiences that made her – from acquiring, starting, scaling and eventually selling ten companies. Behind the success were stories of grit, pivots, shifts, and late nights for the sake of purpose over profit.
Her first experiences taught her that strategy is important, but having resilience is what matters when it comes to sustainability. Each misstep came with a think-back, every positive moment came with gratitude, and reinforced her ability to step back and see the bigger picture with every exit. Nevertheless, through all of the experiences, one component remained consistent – her willingness to help people to help themselves. Her struggles became lessons — not just for her; but for thousands of people she mentors today.
“When a business understands what makes them stand out and why, EVERYTHING then becomes crystal clear.”
A Bold Bet That Paid Off
Diana didn’t just decide to start the Glow getter platform — it was a calling! She wanted to create something bigger than just a consultancy.
Glow getter became the haven for entrepreneurs: a podcast, a book, a coaching program, and more importantly, a community.
What’s the impact? Thousands empowered. Businesses reimagined. A ripple effect throughout the industry.
Her book, Glow getters Guide to Running a Blooming Business, became a best-selling book. Her podcast, a reference for the entrepreneur looking for real, heartfelt advice. Through Glow getter, Diana has made empowerment practical, feasible, and deeply personal.
Glow getter is also a Certified CPD Provider to help beauty and wellness professionals continue to learn both as a business and as a person.
Diana’s ability through Glow getter, is to connect education to practicality.
Empathy as a Leadership Strategy
Diana Richardson is an empathetic leader. She realizes that business is more than spreadsheets and strategy — it’s an amalgamation of the people pitching their ideas, the entrepreneurs sharing their stories, the emotional ups and downs of starting a new venture, and ultimately the growth of a business. She blends heart and systems through her coaching, with the goal of helping entrepreneurs understand the mind-body-soul connection before they grow their business.
While the world often values hustle and dismisses harmony, Diana teaches the opposite. In her perspective, burnout is not something to be proud of. Rather, a great leader is embodied by alignment, clarity, and emotional intelligence.
The courses Diana runs aren’t built upon the latest trends. They encourage you to tap into who you are as a person and build from there. “My courses will help you uncover the most authentic version of yourself,” she often says.

The Real Takeaway
Diana isn’t about success, she’s about significance. In a world racing after shortcuts, she’s a precious reminder to dig deep, grow slowly, and glow big. Her true legacy is not just the companies she created, but the lives she continues to transform.
She reminds us that entrepreneurship is as much a personal evolution as it is a professional one. Her clients aren’t just building businesses, they are cultivating confidence, autonomy, and a life they love.
From a fledgling dreamer to an experienced CEO, Diana’s message is clear: Know who you are. Own your brilliance. Never settle for a business that does not represent your values.
Conclusion with Forward Vision
What is the next step for Diana? She is looking to build Glow getter internationally, strengthen her CPD program and develop localized mentorship models to support entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities. With innovation as her north star and empowerment as part of her DNA, Diana is still in the early stages of her mission.
Diana is not simply teaching people how to manage their businesses; she’s supporting others to embrace who they are, clarify their purpose and lead courageously.
In her next chapter, Diana plans to publish another book, create wellness retreats specifically for female founders, and offer immersive virtual mentoring experiences to help her reach a global market. Her potential continues to grow – but it still comes from a place of service, authenticity, and soul.
Through every episode, page, and coaching session, Diana Richardson exemplifies the kind of bold leadership, soulful impact, and entrepreneurial spirit we celebrate at The Women’s Post.
