Finding Home
Finding Home is a podcast for tender-hearted humans navigating life, change, and becoming.
Through spoken notes and personal reflections, Mindfulness Practitioner and Leadership Coach, Frances Lacuesta, explores what it means to find home—within ourselves, in our bodies, in meaningful work, and in the ever-unfolding seasons of life.
Rooted in mindfulness, loving presence, and nervous-system wisdom, each episode offers a gentle pause: a moment to soften, listen inward, and remember the sense of safety and belonging that already lives within you.
This is a companion for those longing to feel more grounded, connected, and at home wherever they are on the path.
