Sean Stephenson has done more in 31 years than many do in twice that amount of time. A coach, an author, a therapist, a speaker, he’s managed to forge careers in many disciplines, following his life’s purpose of trying to “rid the world of insecurities.” It’s a daunting task. But nothing seems too daunting for a man who wasn’t even supposed to be here. Born with a rare body disease called osteogenesis imperfecta, Sean’s outlook was grim from the very beginning.
“The doctors told my parents at my birth that I was going to die within the first evening,” he says. “And my parents just didn’t accept that. It’s not that they were in denial that I had this condition, they just were not liking the prognosis. So they thought, ‘We’ve got nothing to lose by praying, and being there and comforting him and holding him,’ and so my family rallied behind me at that young age. And they continued and still do to this day.”
Fully grown at 3-feet tall and confined to a wheelchair, Sean survived early years of physical setbacks before aligning proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle with a healthy mental attitude. This self-discovery was a turning point in his life.
