Doc Laura's voyage is one of transformation and inspiration. Our latest conversation with the creator of Paradigm of Perfection explores how a career pivot led to an online phenomenon, with close to half a million followers captivated by Laura's journey. As Laura recounts her evolution from gymnast to social media influencer and physical therapist, she reveals the impact of calisthenics on her life post-gymnastics and her dedication to fostering authenticity and motivation through her Instagram presence.
