When COVID-19 hit, Laura Di Franco immediately had to shut down her physical therapy business. She took that opportunity to focus on another project she had beenworking on since 2015 — Brave Healing Productions, a publishing company for health practitioners who use holistic approaches to physical healing.

It was a leap of faith that Laura didn't mind taking because she already had a highly developed sense of awareness a tool that she uses to help entrepreneurs in health-based practices achieve their professional goals of sharing their story, building their business, and changing their world.

"With awareness you have a choice, awareness is everything," she said. "Awareness is the practice of healing."

Like everyone who experiences self-doubt, usually fromlistening to the little devil who sits on our shoulder, Laura is occasionally tinged with uncertainty about her next steps. But as someone who has published more than 67 collaborations and written 13 bestselling books onAmazon, Laura's perspective and guidance offer something valuable to everyone who listens.

In this episode of Chiseled, Laura speaks about how to build a purpose-driven life, how to knock out fearand self-sabotage, and how to recognize when your discernment and intuition are working for you.

There are times in our lives when we meet kindred spirits. Laura is one of those for me. She has one of the clearest senses of mission and purpose as I have ever seen, and her capacity to help people overcome their self-limitingthoughts is a gift on display in this week's podcast.
