Today we’d like to introduce you to Shaun Stephens.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I recognized my gift of being a nurturer and comforter at an early age but it would be many years later and a global pandemic that would allow me to share those gifts professionally. Utilizing my continuous education and talents, made me a successful entrepreneur. Owning & operating several small businesses throughout the DFW metroplex. However, as with many of us, the 2020 and the effects of the global pandemic changed my business and my mindset. I decided to pivot and embrace my gifts and purpose. To provide a holistic approach to wellness. I became a Certified Master Life Coach and along with my background in Mental Health, QL4L was created! QL4L is the acronym for “Quality of Life 4 Life”. I truly believe that we all must give attention to our physical, mental, financial, and spiritual well being to have a quality of life. We are living in challenging times and must take a holistic approach to our overall health to process, endure, and overcome whatever challenges that we encounter. I’m proud & privileged to be included in the lives of my clients and to share in their growth & improvement to their quality of life.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has not been smooth nor without obstacles. One of the biggest obstacles or struggles, has been the stigmatization of mental health. Seeking mental health support or guidance in life from any one, let alone a total stranger, is still not widely accepted. Assistance is normally sought after all other options have been exhausted, or the client had reached “rock bottom”. Another struggle is successfully communicating the difference between surviving & living. Many people function in “survival mode” which is normally accompanied by a lot of stress & distress. The goal is to be mindful and live a life of quality & balance.
We’ve been impressed with QL4L Wellness Center, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I provide a holistic approach to wellness. I provide customized services that focuses on physical, mental, financial, and spiritual well being:
Life Coaching
Health & Fitness Coaching
Relaxation & Meditation Techniques
I believe that my knowledge, experiences, and accessibility sets me a part. I genuinely love people and want them to live their best life.
I’m most proud of the opportunity & privilege of someone sharing their life & goals with me. Then, entrusting me enough to refer me to their family & friends.
What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I love the diversity of Dallas. I’ve received some of the best opportunities in Dallas with so much room for growth. Dallas is exciting, motivating & innovative. I’m not a fan of the traffic but to be fair, it’s a challenge in every major city.
