Running her own business fast-tracked Fran's self-development journey. She understood how brands needed to tell their story, but now was forced to look at her own personal story; what were my values and beliefs? It’s through her work with owners, founders, and like-minded individuals that continue to push her to keep learning and help others to do the same; developing a strong mind, body and soul connection. Francesca describes that despite initially feeling empowered and channeling her inner Beyonce circa ‘Run the World (girls)’ her first day as her own boss to in fact be less Independent Women and more Survivor, but she continues to grow and learn on her journey each day. Contact: www.29-london.com  About Uncle Kevin: Since his mid-teens, Kevin had dreamt of becoming a priest. He first explored his religious vocation with the Rominians in the 70s, before leaving to work for The Philharmonia Orchestra in London and then became a teacher.  In 1991 he moved to the USA to study theology and worked in parishes on the West Coast. In 2000 he was ordained a priest with The American Catholic Church - an Independent Catholic Church that ordains men and women, married and single, straight and gay - and started work as a hospice chaplain. In 2005 he and his boyfriend (now husband) bought their current residence in Oregon and opened an event and retreat center. He continues to do a lot of marriage counseling, freelance work for local parishes, some local theater work, and odd bit of writing, retreats, etc. Contact: [email protected]   https://ainsworthhouse.net/ Hosted on Acast.
