About Kara Francis Coaching

As a Divorce Coach and Relationship Coach with a unique blend of lived wisdom, practical guidance, and embodied emotional clarity, I support women who’ve become everything to everyone else and are ready to find the self they lost along the way. 

Whether you are preparing for marriage, feeling misaligned in a long-term relationship, or standing at the edge of a possible ending to a relationship, I partner with you to strengthen the most influential and meaningful relationship you can have in life: the one with yourself.

When we work together, I guide you to (1) get clear on what’s creating tension and misalignment in your current reality, (2) reconnect to your truth – what you really want your life to look and feel like, (3) identify and release the patterns or habits that have been running the show up until now (fears, limiting beliefs, assumptions, your inner critic), and (4) design an action plan that allows you to move forward in wholeness and authenticity. 

Before becoming a coach, I practiced family law in litigation firms in Chicago for over 6 years. I earned my Juris Doctor from DePaul University College of Law and worked extensively in litigation, mediation, and collaborative divorce cases with all different kinds of clients: parents, non-parents, business owners, everyday employees, stay-at-home caretakers, religious, non-religious, traditional, and non-traditional – you name it, I’ve seen it.

About Kara Francis Coaching

In 2022, I became a Certified Professional Coach, Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, and a trained mediator. Since starting my coaching business in 2022, I remain a licensed attorney in Illinois and New York and provide legal consulting services on the side. This helps me maintain my legal skills so I can continue to weave that practical guidance into my soul-led coaching services, which are the heart and soul of what I do today.

Personally, I went through my own divorce in 2020, ending a ten-year relationship in the height of the pandemic. I have since met and married my current husband, and we currently live in New York City with our two fur babies. My life today looks so different from how I thought it would turn out or what I saw growing up in small-town Ohio, but in the best way possible – because I returned to MY inner truth and authentic desires and am now building an aligned life that brings me so much joy, fulfillment, purpose, and meaning. 

My work has been featured in Good Night New York, the Los Angeles Inquisitor, Gurus Magazine, Hollywood First Look, 1-800-Bridesmaid, Scary Mommy, Fresh Starts, and various other publications and outlets.
