Stella Frances | Transformational Life Coach & Mentor

Stella Frances transformational life coach in Florida with Greek roots.

From Silicon Dreams to Soul Awakening

In the glow of screens, I once chased success that never filled me.  Burnout became my teacher, and Greece my reminder: true wisdom lives within.
Each dawn reminds me… your calm, your clarity, your happiness are already here.

The Stella Frances Story

Picture this: a young girl in Athens, Greece, gazing up at ancient marble columns where Socrates once walked. Even then, she was captivated by life’s deepest questions.

Decades later, after climbing the corporate ladder in the IT world, she would find herself asking those same questions again—this time from the depths of burnout.

That girl was me. And that burnout? It became my most honest teacher.
It also became the doorway to my work as a transformational life coach.

When Success Felt Like Failure

For 15 years, I wore the badge of “Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.” I had the stable career, the income, the recognition. On paper, I was thriving.

But here’s the truth: sometimes what looks like success is only a mask.

Like a slow leak in a hidden vessel, my spirit was quietly deflating. I kept telling myself, “Push through, you’re strong enough.” But beneath the noise, my soul whispered something else: “This is not your path.”

The awakening didn’t come like lightning. It came like a sunrise—gradual, quiet, then suddenly illuminating everything.

✨ I realized I could keep living by someone else’s definition of success… or I could return to my own.

The Great Return:

From Systems Engineer to Transformational Life Coach

The day I stepped away from my IT career, it felt like leaping into the unknown.

Yet in that leap, I discovered what the Greeks call kairos—the perfect moment for transformation.

I immersed myself in mindfulness and life coaching, in the science of happiness, and in the timeless philosophy I grew up around.

I studied with Jack Canfield. I became a certified coach. I tested every tool first on myself, until what I learned became not just theory but lived truth.

What began as survival became a way of life—what I now call the Happiness Shift™ Method.

✨ Method, in Greek (μέθοδος), means “the way through.” And that is what this is: a way back to your calm, your clarity, your true self.

My Mission: Authentic Happiness Coaching

Today, through Live Happily Coaching and the Live Happily Library, I guide others in remembering what has always been there: your own light.

You don’t need to be fixed—you only need to return. Think of me as a gentle archaeologist of the soul.

Together, we uncover the treasures hidden beneath layers of “shoulds,” expectations, and doubt. What we find is not new—it is the authentic you, waiting to breathe again.

✨ This is more than personal growth coaching. It’s a return to calm, to balance, to a life that feels like home.

What I Believe

The Invitation

So I ask you: what would your life feel like if you knew you could not fail?

What would you create if you trusted the quiet voice inside?

If something in you stirs as you read these words, I invite you to begin with a Clarity Discovery Call.

One conversation.

One step toward coming home to yourself.

Because happiness is not someday. It is waitinghere, now.

✨ “Working with Stella feels like exhaling after holding my breath for years. I found clarity, calm, and a new sense of direction I didn’t think was possible.” —Elizabeth W, New York

“I believe it is our birthright to be happy and to live a life of abundance”
