In this heartfelt and inspiring talk, Fran shares her deeply personal transformation from a life of “toxic positivity” and overwhelming perfectionism to one of freedom, joy, and self-discovery. Once a woman trapped in a seemingly perfect life — a big house, a long marriage, two jobs, and the image of a model mother — she reveals how she lost herself beneath the masks of people-pleasing and constant doing. Her breaking point came in 2015, when she asked the universe for a “honeymoon with herself,” and within days, an unexpected work trip to Kuala Lumpur became the beginning of her liberation. From there, spontaneous adventures like a last-minute trip to Cambodia and meaningful conversations helped her rediscover her own “wings” — moments of joy, connection, and authenticity that had been buried for years. Through her story, Fran encourages others to start noticing their own “feathers” — the small, magical moments that reconnect us to who we really are — and to remember that their wings were never lost, just forgotten.
