Hi, my name is Firouzeh Pakravan. I am the author of Making Life Sacred, Changing the Narratives We Live By, Book one and Book Two. I am a Certified Life Coach and deeply passionate about accompanying people on their journey of liberation from outdated, limiting, and disempowering narratives.
My devotion lies in helping you change the limiting and disempowering narratives that do not reflect your truth and what is possible for you. My approach blends deep listening, narrative recognition, posing reflective questions, reframing, and helping you define a new identity while establishing the proper pillars for it to come alive and find its means of expression. Whether you’re feeling stuck in old, outdated narratives, lost in transition, or simply ready to become more aligned with your higher, liberated self, this space is for you.

The stories we live by shape the lives we lead.
Are the narratives you live by serving you or are they limiting the expression of your higher self.
Are your beliefs about your identity, your capabilities, your purpose in life empowering, life enhancing, and liberating, or do they keep you stuck, disempowered and invisible?
Stories can be rewritten. You can transcend the old, limiting roles in the story of your life. By changing the narratives you live by, you can create and build a life that is more aligned with your higher potential than your limiting beliefs.
You already know how to make the necessary shifts, but if you need a space of clarity, compassion, and courage to discover the limiting narratives and start on the path of transcending them, making space to create new, more empowering ones, I will be at your side to coach you on this sacred and transformational path. Narratives are the source of our beliefs. Our identity is formed and expressed based on narratives we have come to believe as reality. That is why we feel so much inner resistance when we want to change. Narratives define our identity and any change feels like a direct threat to that identity.
When we want to change a disempowering behavior, we often feel frustrated when we face our own inner resistance manifesting as self-sabotage, procrastination, disempowering internal talks, and avoidance. That’s because behaviors are fueled and kept in place by the narratives that make our sense of identity. That sense of identity then determines how we perceive our capabilities, self-worth, and what is possible and what is not. Therefore, to create and maintain more lasting changes, we need to change the source; the narratives we live by, the stories we have come to believe and accept as rules and realities.
Stepping on this path alone is possible and you are capable enough to make amazing progress. However, you may benefit from hiring a coach to expedite the process by creating a space of clarity, integrity, accountability. Having a coach helps one face the overwhelming internal resistance that will appear as excuses, justifications, postponement of actions to a later date, etc. As your coach, I am prepared to listen to what you are saying, what you are not saying, and what narratives are your behavior, and actions, as well as inactions based on, and I will be helping you choose more empowering narratives and establishing them as your new beliefs, behaviors and habits. The change process is exciting, scary, unfamiliar,
joyous, liberating, and uneasy all at the same time.
I believe you already know all you need to know to start your transformation journey. But if you want someone on your side to keep you honest, accountable, and consistent, I can offer you, my coaching.

How I Work With You
My coaching is not about giving you advice or dictating what narratives you should create for your life. You are the captain of your own ship and are intelligent and capable enough to navigate your path.
Our collaboration is a co-creative process of explorations of your outdated narratives that are holding you back, discovering the stories you identify with, and examining what alternative narratives will serve your possible future-self best.
Together, we prepare tools and strategies to face internal resistance that will inevitably rise, and we will find ways for you to overcome them and manage to stay on the path until you create the outcomes you want.
Transformation, whether it entails our behaviors, habits, beliefs or our narratives, is a process. Coaching is also a process, and it includes the following steps:
In our coaching sessions we aim for first identifying the current stories you are telling yourself, and your experience.
We then try to explore where these narratives come from. Together we examine their validity and relevance.
We take a deeper look at how these narratives are affecting your decisions, actions, inactions, hesitations, goals, and ambitions.
We will work together to reframe and rewrite the narratives so they will be more empowering, more life-enhancing, and more aligned with your authentic self and its potential.
Radical honesty with oneself is the most important aspect of narrative change and it is the hardest part as well. As your coach, I join hands with you to create a space where you can approach your strengths, weaknesses, excuses, dreams, responsibilities with integrity. We will create a safe and nonjudgemental space that allows curiosity and compassion to lead us towards your most authentic desires no longer kept captive by limiting narratives.
Book Your Appointment
If you are ready to step out of the prison of your old, outdated, energy draining narratives, and want to step on a path of discovering and creating more empowering alternatives, I will be happy to coach you and see you through.
Formation of My Limiting Narrative
Following a series of traumatic childhood events, including major losses and the breakdown of my family, I developed a core subconscious narrative that I was to blame. This story of being faulty and unworthy became the foundation for many of my major life decisions.
My Awakening to Human Potential
In college, I discovered the Humanistic School of Psychology and the concept of the "Actualized Self." This sparked a deep, intuitive interest in me to break free from the prison of my old narratives and explore the possibility of reaching my higher potential.
Understanding My Resistance and the Power of Coaching
I realized that changing my core narratives means challenging my own identity, a process that inevitably triggers internal resistance, fear, and doubt. This led me to identify coaching as a powerful tool for navigating this difficult internal challenge with support and accountability.
My Mission as a Coach
My mission is to help others who face the same struggle with limiting beliefs. As a coach, I provide a space built on deep listening, compassionate accountability, and clarity to help you face your internal resistance, stay on your path, and redefine what is possible in your life.
