HEALING CURIOUS

Welcome.

My name is Natalie Petersen, and I'm thrilled you're here.

I have teamed up with Laura Di Franco, Publisher and CEO, Brave Healer Productions, to produce the first in a bestselling book series, Stories, Tools, & Community for the Healing Curious. The thread that will tie volume one together is making itself apparent as I make this humble call for co-authors and have deep conversations with potential writers.

EVERYONE is a writer. Not everyone shares their story. I am honored you are considering the invitation to join me and others in bringing our brave words to the world!

Listen and read on to learn about the special mission of Stories, Tools, & Community for the Healing Curious.

The Healing Curious book project is my 4th with Laura and Brave Healer Productions. All in, I am now forever connected to dozens of co-authors whose lives have transformed from being a part of such an intentional, heart-based experience. Others will agree in their own way, there is something profound about putting your story to print as an extension of your hand to a yet-known traveler. In coming together to change the world, we authors can't help but change ourselves in the process.

The Healing Curious book project is my first in the role of Lead Author. But life has been preparing me for this leap, and it's just one of many I know are in store as I continue to surrender into my best Self.

And so, understand: This is an invitation of a different kind. It's personal.

So much so, that I want you to really think about what an expansion of your personal brand could mean for you. Like me, you deserve the possibilities in store.

As Laura says, "This is BIG POTATO STUFF!"

Are you ready to dream big with me?!?

(tentative) Live Q+A with Previous Co-Authors

July + August

Marketing, Mindset + Pre-Launch Support

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.

What others say about...

The Commitment

As our circle of authors comes together, we should be readying ourselves for a minimum level of commitment to promotion, marketing, and outreach around our book. Of course you can do more, but here's the bare minimum. Together, we will touch thousands!

RALLY YOUR TEAM

We each have friends, family, and peers who can join us for big day! Our launch team is a critical piece of the puzzle that fuels us to #1 Bestseller status on Amazon. And their support and the collective energy fill our hearts!

GET SOCIAL

Plan on a minimum of six social posts on your platforms of choice. Sample graphics will be available for vou to use or make vour own.At least one post during launch week.

SUPPORT LOCAL

Best done after launch when the book is listed on Ingram, we will each contact a local bookstore to inquire about carrying our title. There is a chance for live events, too!

EMAIL LISTS + GROUPS

The more people that buy, read, and review our book, the better it will "perform" on Amazon and the more #1 best-selling categories it will receive. Without readers, our stories sit on a shelf and are not available to others who may find a connection in our words.

Our Success Together

Holy moley, there is so much in store! If I were asked what are the key factors in realizing the benefits of this project, I would narrow it down to four. I desire to co-create a container that will foster these, deeply impacting our hearts and capacity for love in the process.

BRAVERY

This project will expand our capabilities and give us enormous opportunities for growth and collaboration.

AUTHENTICITY

Your story matters, and the authenticity with which you show up will deliver you major returns!

ACCOUNTABILITY

Whether to our timeline or each other or to yourself, each of us is supporting individual AND group goals.

FUN

Buckle up! The months ahead promise heaps of fun as we meet, create, and partner on our individual and collective success!
