Why you feel stuck in Life & Relationships — and how to set yourself free

A free workshop to help you understand the hidden pattern behind your stuckness, build more self-trust, and take your first real step forward.

This free 60-minute workshop will help you recognize what is keeping you stuck right now and what you can do to choose new.

If you feel it’s time to get out of this repeating emotional turmoil, but you just don’t know how, you have come to the right place.

This free workshop is for you if...

  • You feel stuck, and you can’t get out of it, even though you know something needs to change. You just don’t know what and how.
  • You keep repeating the same patterns in relationships or life decisions. And it doesn’t feel good. And you blame yourself for it.
  •  You second-guess & doubt yourself and struggle to trust your own inner voice. So you keep searching for answers outside of you.
  •  You know you want more freedom, but fear, guilt, or old habits keep pulling you back. Somehow you get stuck in those emotions regularly.
  •  You are tired of living by other people’s expectations and fitting into roles. But it also feels so familiar for you. And stepping out of it is scary.

What you will walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of why you feel stuck right now 
  • A simple way to spot the pattern behind your current struggle
  • More awareness of what is keeping you stuck in the same cycle
  • A first step to move forward with more self-trust
  • A new perspective on how to see your life or relationship situation

IN THIS WORKSHOP
We will cover together:

PART 1 • A REAL LIFE STORY

How I let go of learned patterns, self-doubt, fears and guilt in my life and relationships and set myself free for this life I get to live now, running Ultras, remarrying, and owning my own business in America.

PART 2 • A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

You learn why feeling stuck is often a learned pattern, not a personal failure and how old beliefs, fears and familiar dynamics shape your choices often without your awareness.

PART 3 • Framework to set yourself free

You learn how to identify hidden patterns in your life and relationships and how to support a deeper self connection and self trust.

PART 4 • A LIVE EXPERIENCE

Together we go through powerful questions and exercises that give you a real live experience of this work.

You will walk away with clarity about one next step you can take to make changes in your life and relationships.

WHAT MAKES THIS WORKSHOP DIFFERENT?

We often think we need more confidence, more clarity or more motivation.

I don’t believe that is what creates real change.

I think when you understand the hidden patterns, old fears and expectations that may be influencing your life without you even being conscious of it, it gives you the space to make new choices.

You will experience a different way of looking at yourself— with a deeper awareness, more self-trust and a freedom that comes from being yourself.

And that’s the place from where you can then create a different life. That feels more like your own.

Your Guide

Franziska Maria Chaidez Pretsch
(Short Fran)

Ultra runner, German in America, Systemic Mentor & constellations facilitator, business owner, with 20 years experience of guiding people through transformations.

Fran has lived experience of changing her life and creating her own business. More and more out of her own self trust & deep inner growth.

From a social work career to becoming the experienced mentor & teacher she always felt inside of her.

From her roots in Bavaria to living in the world, traveling and now living with her American husband in Oregon.

From burnout, low energy and feeling stuck to ultra running & sustaining a lifestyle that supports her energy.

She spent many years going to her own roots and what she had learned growing up. Understanding where these patterns came from to then choose new.

What she had inherited without realising it. And to know what was hers — and what was never hers to carry.

For more than 20 years, Fran has guided individuals, couples, leaders and entrepreneurs through deep personal and professional transformation.

Today she works women, men, couples, coaches and leaders who feel somehow stuck in their life, business or relationships — and don’t know what is keeping them there in repeating patterns and emotions.

Combining systemic work, constellations, coaching and her own lived experience, Fran helps people uncover what is really going on, what has been inherited, and what becomes possible when people realise what still influences them and choose new moving forward.

To reconnect deeper to themselves. Getting to know themselves deeper. And to move forward from there.

What Fran’s clients say:

I came into the workshop not really knowing what would happen. What I felt was a deep opening. I now see myself and my own life in a totally different way.” — Sarah

Fran helped me to see patterns I had been carrying for years without realising it. Since understanding this, I trust myself more and I set way clearer boundaries for my time and energy. My priorities have changed. – Mary

“I have been to quite a few workshops in my life. This one was different. Because Fran gave us a perspective of what is really going on and why the time is now to change what you don’t want to repeat. Life changing!” – Bob

“Your questions made me realise how much I still don’t trust myself and decide out of fear. This workshop shifted it for me. I don’t follow that fear anymore.” – Tracy

Fran spoke of the importance of your own voice & having your unique voice heard. If you don’t use it, it will forever be lost. During the workshop I actually felt that shift! Everything about Fran – how she holds space, how she is with you with her full body & soul, and hears you in a way that no one else can – touches you on all levels. ” – Louise
 

For years I thought something was wrong with me because I kept struggling with being seen & self-doubt. Fran helped me see that these patterns fit in my story—and that I can change them.” – Gemma
