Hello , Im Fran

I’m Fran, a Certified Life Coach & Workshop Facilitator, a Sober Blogger, a Poet, and a Public Speaker. I advocate for self-development because I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative nature of inner work in my own life. Two years ago, I was none of these things, but instead a woman imprisoned by a set of limiting beliefs and behaviors. Through Mindset Coaching and Creative Exploration, I was able to rediscover my WORTH, regain control and transform my life. And this is exactly, what I want for YOU!

It took me more than half my life to accept, I was the child of an alcoholic with a severe abandonment complex and a consequent need for external validation. I struggled with self-acceptance and suffered from shattered self worth because of a dysfunctional childhood.

At 16 years old, I was declared homeless, and this marked the beginning of a 15-year relationship with alcohol as a coping mechanism for my emotional burdens.

On the outside, I appeared to have my life together but internally, I was stuck. Instead of looking inward, I used the external world to try and distract me from my own emptiness.                                                                                                                                                            The result? My unresolved traumas had translated into adulthood as a series of co-dependant relationships and self-neglectful behaviours. I became fluent in projection and convinced myself that everyone else was the problem but me.

Acknowledging a need for change seemed impossible under several layers of denial. However, my ultimate decision to get sober on January 1st, 2023, was the first step towards becoming the best version of myself. In the last two years, I have achieved more than I did in the previous ten, and it's because of one thing: reframing an unconscious belief system that was disempowering me.

I founded The Cathartic Collective to create a supportive community of individuals who master the power of creativity & vulnerability to create lasting and positive change in their lives. I believe chemistry and connection are at the core of successful one-on-one coaching and I'm transparent about all of my personal struggles online so you can get to know the real me & personally decipher if I’m someone you would like to work with.
