Hey there, Empowered & Out Listeners! 

Extra Episode Drop: Chasing Worth, Choosing Wellness 🌿🌈 with Fran Lawn

What happens when you stop chasing external validation and start listening to your body, your truth, and your community?

Fran Lawn (he/him) is a Certified Nutrition Health Coach, educator, and LGBTQ+ wellness trailblazer who took a nonlinear path from landscape design to health coaching — and he’s not looking back.

In this week’s episode of Empowered & Out, we talk about:

✨ Coming out mid-career — and rebuilding life after divorce

✨ Choosing authenticity in wellness spaces that often exclude us

✨ Creating queer-inclusive coaching that nourishes all of you

✨ Going back to school at 47 (yes, really)

✨ Building resilience, trust, and community through truth-telling

If you’ve ever questioned your worth at work, felt unseen in health spaces, or wondered if it’s too late to change your life — this one’s for you.
