Brave Healer productions and Laura DiFranco are an experience in collaboration, incredible team building and raising your practice to a higher level.
Throughout the four projects I participated in with Brave Healer productions, the quality of the writing, the teaching and mentoring of first time authors and the business added opportunities, added exposure, polish, reach, depth to my experience. The opportunities for self reflection and growth are tremendous.
I was able to heal and grow as I told my story through the collaborative projects. It helped me to frame my business, make worldwide connections with other healers and experience amazing opportunities I otherwise would not have had.
Any healer, writer, or business builder, would do well to work with Brave Healer productions and Laura DiFranco in the numerous possibilities that she and her staff provide. This bad-ass movement has grown exponentially in the three years I’ve worked with BHP and Laura and it will continue to expand given their track record of bestselling books continuously produced.

So, you’re contemplating writing a chapter in one of Laura’s life-changing books. Maybe you recently decided to take a class and now you’re trying to figure out what happens next. Well, let me help you. My name is Kim B Miller and I had the pleasure of teaming up with Laura Di Franco on The Ultimate Guide to Self-Healing Volume 2. I wrote Chapter 15: Recognizing Your Accomplishments for Radical Self Care.
I thought I was going to write my chapter and that would be it. Wrong! Laura is a business phenom. She took us on “the business side” of writing a book. She showed us the bigger picture. So, this is not simply about writing a chapter or taking a class. Laura takes you on a path to knowledge. You learn marketing strategies, interviewing skills, business development, book publishing and how to decipher the beast that is called Amazon.
She willingly shares her wisdom with you so you can grow your business. She kicks your butt into business shape. I took notes when the Master Strategist talked. Yes, I have a nickname for her. I listened well and the next book I published, My Poetry Is The Beauty You Overlook made it onto Amazon’s Best Seller list in three categories. It also was the #1 release in Japanese Poetry & Haiku.
So, go ahead and write that chapter and take those classes, but listen to me, get ready. You are about to enter a realm of knowledge; take notes and listen. You’re about to enter the bad ass zone!
