About me:

Frances Walsh life coach with wind-blown hair — embracing radical authenticity and whole-life coaching
Martha Beck Wayfinder certified life coach badge — ICF-accredited Level 2 program

I believe you are a whole person, not a collection of separate problems to solve. Your work, relationships, identity, energy, confidence, and sense of purpose are deeply connected. That is why my coaching makes room for all of you.

  • I’ve spent more than 15 years working across sustainability, technology, education, and the outdoor industry. I’ve led teams, managed complex initiatives, and supported people through high-stakes decisions. This experience taught me that a life can look successful from the outside and still feel deeply out of alignment.

  • I don’t believe in compartmentalizing your life. A career change can reshape your identity. A relationship can influence your confidence. Exhaustion can make everything feel impossible. We look at the whole picture so you can understand what is really asking to change.

  • My own life has included multiple careers, unexpected transitions, and paths that made sense until they didn’t. I know what it feels like to wonder whether you should be grateful for the life you have, or courageous enough to admit that you want something different.

  • I grew up across three continents, four countries, and twice as many US states. With change as a foundation of my life, I understand how unsettling it can be to lose your footing and how powerful it is to create a sense of belonging within yourself.

  • I was diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade and spent years believing I was doing everything wrong. Today, I honor my neurodiversity as a source of creativity, intuition, and nonlinear thinking. There is no single right way to think, grow, or create a meaningful life.

  • I have experienced life-altering injuries that forced me to slow down and reconsider who I was when the life I knew suddenly changed. They taught me that resilience is not about pushing through. It is about listening closely, honoring what is true, and finding a new way forward.

  • I hold a BA in Geography and an MA in Sustainable Development and Intercultural Leadership & Management. I am also a certified Wayfinder Life Coach through Martha Beck’s rigorous 211-hour, ICF-accredited Level 2 training program.

  • I’m a Cancer Sun with Leo Moon and Aquarius Rising, 7w6 (Enneagram), INFP (Myers-Briggs) and a Manifestor (Human Design) who thrives on connection, inspiration, and possibility.

Through all of these experiences, I’ve learned that lasting change begins when we stop performing, start listening, and become radically honest about what we want. My role is to help you reconnect with that truth—and turn it into a life that feels authentically yours.
