Meet Stephanie Sterling | Fatherless Trauma Expert

We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Sterling and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Life is a journey. We all go through difficult times, obstacles, and unforeseen circumstances. We have to push through and keep moving forward. It’s fine to take a step back or even rest, but giving up is not an option. Life is filled with unknowns but we were created with purpose. Sometimes we have to take routes we didn’t expect but that doesn’t mean give up. It means that the plan has to be adjusted and to remain open minded.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My story has been filled with many twists and turns. I love helping people and believe that is my purpose in Earth. It began with KidzFusion, a mobile kids fitness business I started in 2014. From there I was able to mentor hundreds of kids and be a positive influence in their lives.

From that business to my current brand, The Authentic Stephanie Sterling LLC, it definitely has not been easy and I continue to have many challenges. In those challenges I have grown so much and learned so much. I could have given up a long time ago, but something bigger than me led me to keep going.

Today I am a Fatherless Trauma Expert, Author, and Motivational Speaker. My holistic well-being and community development helps professional women to become their authentic self, achieve wholeness, and personal development by removing childhood trauma, increasing their self-awareness, and guiding them to wholeness beyond their father’s absence. The Authentic Stephanie Sterling LLC is more than a brand but a lifestyle change.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love live music, dancing, and a great experience when I go out. I would take them to Chocolate Secrets because they have live music on the weekends and their truffles are delicious. Soiree is another spot that offers live music and brunch on the weekend. I love the ambiance and the food is sooo good. Then we would visit Downtown Dallas, so they can see where the heart of the city comes alive. The Sound is a nice spot to hang outside and have good food. The Perot Museum is pretty cool as well.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people who have encouraged me and supported me along the way. I want to thank my family, friends, and colleagues who have believed in my on this journey!!
