About
Hi, I'm Franya K. Isley
Owner/Founder, Divorce Sherpa/Coach
Moving from overwhelmed and uncertainty to clarity and confidence.
Franya K. Isley, founder of SHeroEmpowered.com, serves as the guiding Sherpa for women navigating the challenges of divorce and widowhood.
As both a military wife and resilient divorce survivor, Franya intimately understands the unique struggles women face - from managing solo parenting during deployments to rebuilding identity after unexpected life changes.
Her military wife experience taught her self-reliance and adaptability, skills that proved essential when her marriage ended abruptly.
Drawing from her own transformative journey of working multiple jobs to rebuild financially and emotionally, she creates a safe space for women aged 30s-60s to heal, rebuild, and rediscover their strength.
With a compassionate heart and hard-earned wisdom,
Franya empowers women to:
- Embrace their resilience,
- Reclaim their identity,
- Transform their pain into purpose
Through R.I.S.E. programs, she provides the guidance, resources, and community needed to thrive after divorce or loss.
Franya's perspective is shaped by diverse life experiences - from growing up as a policeman's daughter to overcoming challenges from an amazing car accident at twenty.
Her straightforward approach, developed through years of volunteering with differently-abled children and supporting friends through challenging transitions, allows her to connect with women from all walks of life.
With unwavering commitment, Franya is dedicated to helping women write the next book of their lives, one day at a time.
We aim to help women R.I.S.E.
-Reclaim their sense of self,
-Inspire them to be brave,
-Support moving forward with confidence,
-Empower them to start the next book of their lives with positivity.
