The Peak and Pit : Recent Episodes
Diana Matuszak
Intending to relate, entertain, and maybe even inspire, Diana (and an occasional appearance by her husband) is here to brighten your Tuesdays. She's known him since age seven and has been in a relationship with him since age twenty-two. They joke that a military marriage should be measured in dog years, but really these two have learned a myriad of life lessons, full of peaks and pits, and Diana is here to share it with the world. Hearing from Diana every week on all things relationships, wellness, self-development, and all of the intricacies life brings with it. Inspired by life in the military we know our fellow military friends will relate, but anyone can benefit from the fresh perspective these two bring. So get ready to share in their life's silly, exciting, and beatiful peaks and learn with them through the pits.
A pack of coyotes, Christmas traditions, taking a full 180, and more with this year's final episode! Can't wait for you to listen!

Do we ever really stop comparing ourselves to others? I have a theory that there are two different types of comparison. One being "toxic" comparison, based around life scenarios we have zero control over. Many of these applying to military families, for example, where we live, how often we're together, ease of travel, etc. And then we have what I like to think of "healthy" comparison. This type of comparison lights a bit of a fire under our butts and gets us motivated to make changes in our own lives. Can't wait to hear what you think of this episode!

for a solid 6 months I've relentlessly said that I will not be sharing our TTC journey. But then last night Tyler suggested that I do. After all, following along and relating to a small handful of other people's stories has supported me with so much hope. So I'm. not going through it anecdotally, I'm not sharing the stories of exactly what happened during those dark times, but I am sharing more about our story of trying to achieve a healthy pregnancy. I hope that this supports and helps anyone struggling TTC, anyone about to start TTC, anyone who's experienced miscarriages, and anyone looking to support a friend TTC. Love ya so much, and I hope this helps you!

Today they’re talking about that feeling of NYE 2.0 when you move. They’re diving into new habits they want to build during their Arizona phase of life. Habits they want to do individually, as a couple, and habits they’re aiming to get rid of. They eventually dive into systems and routines they’re putting into place as a couple to keep each other accountable. Think habit stacking, but couples edition.

Diana sits down for a little chat with you all in the beginning of this episode, diving into a few new peaks of the week, and a sad sad pit! After this she gets into one of her favorite topics for this first episode of 2024: new year goals. But we're changing up the "goal setting" this year my friends. Anyone else tend to go wide with goals rather than deeper? We're changing it up, and Diana is going to help you (and herself) go deeper. Instead of piling on new goals, we're looking at what went well last year and what is going to stick around. Then she dives into 25 ways to "clean your slate" at the beginning of the year to start fresh. It's a good one my friends!

This girl went to the Maldives and hiked Mount Everest base camp and saved nearly $7,000 doing it! You bet it was a quick decision to get her on the show to explain it all. Diana and Robyn begin with a Little Korea life chat talking all things skincare, squadron life, and slightly smelly streets. Then they get into all of Robyns knowledge to travel for less, or even for free using points from credit cards. From points on grocery cards, paying rent, and especially hotel rewards, they get into it all.
Disclaimer: if you do not have a good relationship with money, or a budget skip this episode. A solid foundation of how to use credit cards without going into debt is key before using these tricks.

Diana just got back from the best weekend in Chicago visiting her college friends. She talks about the difficulty of maintaining old friendships when you're constantly building new ones, feeling like you live multiple different lives, and how you should just book that trip to visit friends you've been wanting to do. She gets into her recent thoughts about those "third brain" fear/anxiety based thoughts around long distance like "what if I miss him more than he misses me," "what if its awkward when we get back together," feeling guilty for feeling happy when you're apart, and so much more.

Husband is back!! Tyler joins Diana again today after a few months away. They give you all of the updates on where they'll be moving next year, recent squadron events, recent travels, and Tyler's new job. Then they get into a more "Diana" episode with 5 tips they'd each give their younger selves, point blank advice. Hearing the differences in personality between the two is both comical, and quite frankly helpful in listening to their own advice. They get into their childhood, life before being together, drinking, and so much more. For a more detailed look into the episode here is a minute by minute breakdown of the show.
1 - 3 Skillet cookies, recording at night, and 5.5 hours of sleep.
3 - 11 Our peaks of the week. Squadron events, fighter pilot traditions, and husband is a golden retriever. Baby flight suits, Jeju, and we’re moving to Phoenix! Husband is going to be an F35 pilot! “Normal life” is on its way!
11 - 15 Our pits of the week. I’m currently drowning in continuing education for my CPT and CPA. Reversing from a night shift to a morning shift.
15 - 17 Topic of the day: 10 things we’d tell our 20 year old selves.
17 - 23 1: Discover the hobbies that bring you pure joy early. Tyler’s roundabout way of advertising for fly fishing and duck hunting lol.
23 - 27 2: Spend more time with your friends.
27 - 32 3: Work hard, but don’t let it overtake your life. This one is for our fellow overachievers. Turn Altoids into a chill pill lol.
32 - 35 4: Listen to your gut and actually follow through with it.
35 - 42 5: Don’t be afraid to talk to girls Tyler! Or in this case your boss, someone you’re intimidated by, etc. don’t be afraid of rejection.
42 - 47 6: Prioritize time to have fun, or just enjoy doing nothing as well as working towards accomplishments. It’s okay to not be productive 100% of the day.
47 - 56 7: Start traveling as soon as you can.
56 - 60 8: I wish I’d been a little more open minded to adjusting my life when we entered military life together instead of being so headstrong.
1:00 - 1:04 9: Learn how to control your drinking
1:04 - 1:05 10: Wear sunscreen!! Seriously. Every day, summer and winter, on your entire body. Or pay for it later!
1:05 - Value of the week: get a scooter or Vespa, pickup golfing, and pay attention to your resting heart rate to dictate rest days and intense workouts!

Diana is sitting down solo again today for an intimate little chat with the listeners. Beginning as always with the peaks and pits of the week, Diana gets into how apparent her and her husband's way of thinking is so drastically different, with him being much more logical, and her much more intuitive and instinctual. She dives into their first full week together being a bit more tumultuous than most with more arguing than they normally have and how they came out of it yesterday. She talks about her method of extreme compartmentalization that might be helpful for others in a similar military community to her. She chats booking flights, food, and all things peak and pit of the week. She then dives into her 5 steps to be a more "glass half full" kind of person using her background as a holistic health and transformational mindset coach as well as a few tried and trusted practices she uses in her every day life. Finishing off with a fun value of the week! Enjoy!

Diana is solo this week for a bite sized yet value packed episode all about self audits. It's one of her best tools, if not the number one tool, in her toolbox for "thriving" in the military lifestyle. Or, better yet, thriving in a life that is often turbulent, challenging, and frequently out of our own control which might possibly be most people in their twenties and early thirties. She talks about what a self audit is, how you can do one for yourself, and how it can help you feel more confident, fulfilled, and content with your life no matter what life decides to throw at you. For a more detailed look into the episode here is a minute by minute breakdown:
1 - 12 Welcome to the peak and pit podcast! A little life update and the peaks and pits of the week.

Diana's husband Tyler joins again for the first time since their move to South Korea. They catch up on all of their current peaks and pits and dive into a topic all too familiar for military families, long distance love.

For a more detailed view, here is a minute by minute breakdown of the episode:
1 - 16 Peak and pit of the week . The ski trip, Korean coffee shop culture is my life now, Tyler’s new job within the squadron, and the Jeonju hanok village. Travel isn’t as seamless as it was in Europe, real life begins again for Tyler.
16 - 57 The topic of the week, long distance relationships. Whether it be dating long distance, TDYs, deployments, or if your spouse travels a lot for work.
Often times the hardest part of distance is coming back together and learning to do life again together.
Trust.
Have a schedule you stick to of things that make you happy.
Realistic communication expectations, and learning to find flexibility in those.
Loving with your love language long distance.
Being 100% yourself, apart from each other as opposed to “completing” each other. Not having your life revolve around that person.
Sprinkling in events throughout the time apart of things to look forward to.
Watching the same tv show together again.
