Lauren Francisco, MSW is a global curator, emotional mastery coach, mental health professional, and founder of Life Coach On Demand, where she helps high-achieving individuals master their emotions and lead their lives with clarity and intention. With a Bachelor’s in Psychology, a Master’s in Clinical Social Work, and a background that spans therapy rooms, boardrooms, and rural villages, she has helped people from all walks of life rewrite their stories from the inside out.
She is also the founder and executive director of DiverseCity, Inc., a global nonprofit that highlights everyday heroes through storytelling and humanitarian initiatives across the world.
Lauren is known for her calm, grounded voice, her no-nonsense wisdom, and her rare ability to make complex emotional truths feel both accessible and transformative.
COMPOSED: The Art of Directing Your Emotions is her debut book—a bold and heartfelt reflection of her life’s work: helping people lead with peace, not pressure.
When she’s not writing or coaching, Lauren is often hosting retreats across continents, sharing soulful conversations over beautifully curated meals, or sitting quietly in her own director’s chair in her second home in South Africa, living the very peace she teaches.
