Deanna Bone is living her best life and says it all started at age 8 when her neighbor gave her her first Bible. And did she use it!  

Not only did Deanna carry the bible her grandfather gave her while walking down the aisle at her wedding but she held it close when she went bankrupt and lost her house during the housing crash of 2008. That good book became a resource again in 2012 when she faced cancer and the prospect of losing her life.

Both events could have spelled the end for Deanna, professionally and personally, but with the help of coaches, oncologists, and an insistent husband, as well as some of her favorite Bible passages, Deanna recovered and returned to the market stronger than ever.

Yet back in action, Deanna said she still felt unworthy and unwelcome among the top tier of realtors in the country. It wasn't until a coach taught her to reframe the way she listens to her voice inside that she discovered that the barriers to the life she wanted came from within and a certain old book she had previously relied on contained new words about building hope and a future.

Listen to the whole Chiseled episode to hear how Deanna discovered that self-care comes in many forms and how she used these tools, and her original source of inspiration, not only to recover but also to succeed beyond her dreams.
