How do we cope with the impossible? Seeing through the most unimaginable grief, healing and finding your way back to you is possible. You’re never alone.

Welcome once again Dreamers, to the Do it with Dan Podcast! The place to truly dream with your eyes open. It's time to expand our experience with some more great discussion on the power of the mind in all things. Whether you want to manifest more wealth, emotional abundance or love in your life; this is the podcast for you.

This week, Daniel speaks with the worldly and wise Laura Formentini. Laura was Born in Milan, and has lived in Italy, Missouri, Colorado, and California. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Archaeology and Art History from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. She promotes what she calls “Love in Action”, to create a better world.

She believes that Love in Action heals the heart. Her philanthropic fundraising has taken place in Italy, Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, and Puerto Rico. An archaeologist, conservationist, and photographer, she also spearheaded a project to provide free sterilization of street dogs and cats in Italy.

Losing her son at the very young age of 21 to suicide, Laura has come through unimaginable grief. Through her journey of healing, she wrote her late son letters and poems which she has now collected in one book. It shows that, even in the face of such darkness; healing is possible.
