About Francine
Hello, my name is Francine, and I can’t wait to meet you! I am currently in Edmonton Alberta in Canada, which is located on the Treaty 6 territory.
I love reading, exercising, spending time outdoor (especially in the mountains) and spending quality time with my loved ones. Activities that connect with my heritage such as playing 扬琴 (yáng qín, Chinese Dulcimer) practicing calligraphy using 唐诗宋词 (táng shī sòng cí, poems from Tang and Song dynasty) bring lots of joy for me. I also have a tuxedo cat called Senna who you might meet during our call as she loves people, online and offline.
I decided to become a coach because through my own journey of healing, I have found my passion in supporting women in reconnecting, reclaiming, and eventually standing in our own power, especially Asian women who are not residing on our ancestral land.
I have always loved to help people. I have worked in retail, loved it, especially the holiday season. I have worked in many different schools, love it, and I am still teaching today.
As fulfilling these experiences have been, I longed for more opportunity to provide one on one support. I also reached a point where I could no longer ignore the toll it took on my wellbeing from the accumulation of disempowerment derived from ignorance, discrimination, and racism.
I was tired of not being heard. I was tired of not being recognized for my work. I was tired of contributing just to watch others get praised for repeating my exact ideas. I was tired of being made to speak for all the Asian people in the world as if we all share one mind.
I was in deep depression.
Thankfully, I was able to connect with my now therapist back in 2021.
My work with her has helped me to see my own power through my resilience. Additionally, I not only begun my new chapter of living with clarity, but have also started my adventure of choosing joy.
One of the biggest realizations I’ve come to, was that I want to become a holistic life coach to support other Asian women who share similar experiences with me. Because it brings me peace to connect with my roots through sisterhood, and it empowers me to build a community of strong and beautiful minds.
If you are also on the journey of reconnecting, reclaiming your own strength hoping to stand in your own power unapologetically one day, contact me today!
Can't wait to meet you!
About Empowerwithfran
I provide one-on-one coaching service online. Prior to officially working together, I also offer a complimentary 15-minute-discovery-call where we can see if I am the right support for you.
I would love to work with you by holding space for you, rewriting a new narrative with you, and help you achieve the changes that you have been longing for.
Our relationship in the form of coaching sessions is not and cannot replace advice, therapy, or counselling, but I would love to be in your corner and cheer you on for your new beginning!
As your coach, I
-
Facilitate deeper self-awareness (to help you stay connected with your heart),
-
Hold you accountable for your actions (to let you know that you don’t need to grow on your own),
-
Help set, reach, and maintain your goals with you (because sometimes we need distance to see clearly),
-
Continue to believe in you (especially when you may not),
-
Challenge you (because you have so much potential waiting to be unlocked).
Reach out to book your discovery call today!
