Life Insurance, Reimagined: Seeds of Security Life Launches with a People-First Promise

Walnut Creek, California May 20, 2026 (Issuewire.com) Seeds of Security Life, a new independent life insurance agency co-founded by Victoria Quijano and Shannon Parwiz, today announces the official launch of its services to families, individuals, and small business owners throughout California and across the United States.

Founded on the conviction that financial protection should feel empowering rather than overwhelming, Seeds of Security Life enters the market with a distinctive mission: to educate clients with care and clarity, guiding them to confident, pressure-free decisions about life insurance and retirement planning. The agencys approach is built on three pillars education first, a genuine client-first process, and policies that include Living Benefits as standard setting it apart from conventional insurance providers who prioritize commission over clarity.

Unlike traditional life insurance models that focus narrowly on death benefits, Seeds of Security Life centers every client conversation around Living Benefits protections that provide real financial support during a policyholders lifetime, not just after. This includes access to benefits in the event of a critical illness, chronic condition, or terminal diagnosis. The agency works with a curated portfolio of best-in-class carriers, enabling its licensed independent agents to match each client with coverage precisely tailored to their unique stage of life and long-term financial goals.

Meet the Founders

Victoria Quijano, Co-Founder and Retirement Strategist, brings a deep personal commitment to financial literacy and community advocacy. A second-generation Life Insurance professional with roots in Californias diverse communities, Victoria recognized early that language barriers and a lack of accessible guidance were leaving many families unprotected and unserved.

Victoria specializes in helping individuals and families navigate the full spectrum of life insurance and retirement planning options with patience, precision, and bilingual support. Her client-first philosophy shapes every aspect of the Seeds of Security Life experience, from the first consultation to ongoing, long-term guidance.

Victoria also leads the companys small business and executive benefits practice, partnering closely with entrepreneurs and business owners to design customized protection strategies that help attract and retain key talent while supporting long-term financial security for both the business and its employees. Known for her approachable and jargon-free communication style, Victoria has become a trusted resource within the communities she serves.

For too long, life insurance has been sold, not explained. When people understand what theyre buying and why it matters, they dont just feel protected they feel empowered. Thats the experience weve built Seeds of Security Life to deliver.
