About the Show

The Pressures of Privilege explores pressure, class, achievement, family legacy, and the responsibilities that come with advantage, through conversations with inheritors, founders, advisors, doctors, artists, writers, and people who have chosen a different path.

Hosted by Swiss-American journalist and producer Diana Oehrli, the show asks how we can use what we have well: to live more fully, connect more deeply, and become better stewards of our communities.

Diana Oehrli

Diana Oehrli is a longevity coach, wellness advocate, Substack writer, and podcaster helping high-achieving individuals navigate the paradox of modern health: longer lifespans but declining vitality. Drawing on wisdom from five of the world’s longest-living cultures—and holding a 2nd-degree black belt in Shotokan karate—she integrates practical, time-tested wellness practices into her work. A Barnard College graduate and great-grandniece of philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, Diana blends intellectual rigor with lived experience. Sober since 2006, she is certified in Designing Your Life, Tiny Habits®, Recovery Specialization, and holds Harvard’s Certificate in Lifestyle Medicine. She splits her time between Manhattan, Newport, and the Swiss Alps, maintaining a private practice that focuses on helping individuals and families sustain health, purpose, and connection across generations.
