Exclusive Trusted Magazine Q&A with Stephanie McPhail Charon, CEO of Being Loved Shouldn't Hurt


Please describe any unique characteristics or attributes of your company or its products and services that you feel would be newsworthy.

We are a husband and wife team, offering unique and balanced perspectives, and a model for a healthy, supportive relationship. Stephanie created this business while she was still working full time as a high school health teacher and was doing it successfully, but as the business started to grow, with her husband David’s expertise as a Reiki Master/Teacher, Advanced PSYCH-K® Facilitator, technical knowledge and passion for helping others, he was added as a partner, coach and COO. Stephanie describes herself as the grounded one but uses her intuition/personal/professional/Education experience to help clients gain new perspective while David is more spiritual, focusing on the subconscious mindset and energy healing methods to help clients gain real leverage to accelerate their results. We are a US based online business and serve clients all over the world.

Who is your target audience?

Our target audience is professional women generally between the ages of 35-55 who have been in toxic relationships and are ready to take action to heal so they can create and attract healthier relationships and thrive in all areas of their lives. We work with men and women from all different backgrounds, but the common factor is that they’re driven to improve their lives and relationships and understand the value of investing in their personal and professional growth.

What separates you from your competition?

We have actually done the work and we practice what we preach. Stephanie broke her cycle of toxic relationships and used her extensive background to create a comprehensive and holistic program that works, often when traditional methods for healing and personal growth fail. We also offer a hybrid coaching framework that includes group coaching, one on one sessions, self-paced modules, and unlimited access to us, weekly live training to eliminate guesswork and create guaranteed results. Another powerful differentiating factor of our approach is that where information, advice and guidance alone fall short, we employ a powerful method of energy psychology to affect real change at the subconscious level that allows our clients to heal past trauma, end self-sabotage, and become the best version of themselves.

What motivated you to build your own brand?

I had spent a good portion of my life going from one toxic relationship to another one. My first husband strangled me on my wedding night, but I stayed and tried to make it work. Once I was finally out of my abusive marriage and I started to “wake up” from the fog I had been living in for so long, I found my calling. I knew I owed it to the other women who were still trapped and feeling alone, embarrassed, ashamed and guilty to let them know things could get better if they did the work. Everything I have done since then has been with the singular desire to empower women to create a life they are excited to wake up to each day and therefore have a more positive impact on their loved ones and society as a whole.

How would you want the readers to benefit from this article?

I want readers of this article to have renewed hope that they don’t have to suffer in silence. There is not only hope but the world needs the unique gifts that you were sent here with. Not living your best life does you and the rest of the world a disservice. You were not put here to suffer. Powerful and effective tools for real change exist if you’re willing to use them.

What details would you like us to highlight the most in this article?

If you’ve tried the conventional mainstream methods (therapy, self-help books, videos, 12 step programs, support groups) to heal your heart and improve your life without success, we want readers to know they’re not alone. By taking action to do something different, you can heal and thrive to attract more love in your life by using our simple, proven framework that guarantees results (in writing).
