Roxanne Francis: Empowering the mind and overcoming fear-based responses

For our next guest, Roxanne Francis, her journey to becoming a therapist is a compelling narrative of transformation and purpose. Initially immersed in the field of biochemistry in the Caribbean, her path took a significant turn after moving to Canada and witnessing pressing social issues during a return visit to her home country. Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, Roxanne pivoted to social work, dedicating herself to providing therapy for underserved parents and children at a family agency. Her experiences highlighted the profound effects of trauma and fueled her passion, ultimately leading her to establish her own therapy practice to create a more supportive environment for both clients and therapists.

Key actionable takeaways from the episode:

  • Recognize the importance of exploring personal history and beliefs in therapy to address underlying issues
  • Seek therapy if experiencing stumbling blocks in relationships, emotional triggers, dissatisfaction, or changes in sleep/appetite patterns
  • Share experiences with others to reduce feelings of isolation, shame, and connect with common challenges
  • Reprogram negative thoughts by replacing fear-based responses with positive affirmations to feel safe and empowered

About the Podcast

The Empowered in My Skin Podcast
A podcast designed to help humans everywhere think in ways that is empowering.
This Podcast is all about helping humans think in ways that is empowering. Empowered humans, empower humans and our goal at Empowered in My Skin is to help develop one billion humans who are lead dominos for empowerment. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc., everyone deserves to be empowered in the skin that they are in.

Empowered humans are thriving humans. It is our birthright to thrive. When we own our thrive, we are operating from a position of empowerment, and celebrating life in the present moment without fear. It is human nature to feel uncertain, but why does it have to take us away from our thrive, our creativity, and throw us off balance? 

If we can recognize that being empowered is us choosing to accept all that is, then we have the ability to step into clarity and live in the present moment. Our "now" is all that we have and where our infinite empowered energy resides.
