This one frees you. GRASP Confidence Podcast goes beneath the surface; into the wounds that quietly run lives, the unforgiveness that blocks calling, and the identity God designed before the world got there first. Hosted by Tara LaFon Gooch — award-winning keynote speaker, 3X author, TEDx speaker, and CEO of Best Branding Solutions, a branding agency for thought leaders — each episode brings prophetic truth, personal testimony, and practical wisdom for the leader ready to stop performing for a world that can never fill what only God can. Through solo episodes and powerful conversations, Tara explores faith, healing, identity, calling, and what it truly means to reach for what God promised before the world told you that you weren't enough.

In this episode of GRASP Confidence , I sit down with Dr. Hamad Shirazi (D.C., M.S.Ed.) —chiropractor, educator, and wellness leader—who introduces a powerful reframe: pain as a teacher guiding you back into alignment. I met Dr. Shirazi in Belize on a private island , and his grounded energy immediately stood out. In our conversation, we go far beyond \"neck and back pain\" and into the deeper root: posture, breath, nervous system regulation, belief, and purpose. We talk about how our beliefs can influence healing (yes, even the placebo effect), why many people stay stuck in suffering, and how shifting from fear to trust can change everything. You'll also hear a mind-blowing concept you may have never heard before: \"pronoia\"... the belief that life is conspiring in your favor. Inside this episode, we cover: Why Dr. Shirazi says \"pain is direction\" —not punishment The most common issues he sees (neck, back, shoulder, knee) and what they often reveal How he blends chiropractic + physical therapy principles + strength & conditioning to get to root cause The role of breathing, posture, mobility, and balance in lasting healing Why \"being right\" can keep you stuck—and how curiosity opens the door to change How gratitude, surrender, and nervous system safety support transformation If you've been feeling out of alignment—physically, mentally, or spiritually—this episode will help you reconnect to your body, rethink your beliefs, and move forward with intention.
