Same man.
Bigger purpose.
Life wrote my ending. God handed me another chapter. Still Standing is the true story of survival, faith, and a purpose greater than pain — and the first step toward a brighter you.
More than books — a movement.
Edwin Quijada built a life, lost it to circumstances no one plans for, and came back to write books about what he learned standing back up. He is a published author, executive and life coach, and speaker who works with people ready to trade survival mode for a life with direction.
"Life wrote my ending, but God handed me another chapter."
Through Fearless Coach, Edwin turns his own story of setback, faith, and reinvention into practical coaching, keynote talks, and books that give people permission to begin again — same person, bigger purpose.
Still Standing
It's not over... it's a new beginning.
Every survivor reaches a fork in the road: the sickness, the fear, the setbacks, the doubt, the hospitals, the unknown — or the harder, better path toward survival, faith, purpose, and freedom. Still Standing is Edwin's account of that fork, written for anyone asking why me, what's the plan, what now.
