My experiences in the mental health field far exceed any education that I could earn. Although I have a BA in Sociology and currently working on my MA in Sociology/Chemical Dependency, my progression is a reflection of the many shifts that challenge me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Often times dealing with psychotic and aggressive individuals risking my own life for their safety. I wouldn't have it any other way. As a Public Speaker, I enlighten my audience with many comical accounts of various psych ward shenanigans and the successful and inspiring stories of those that were once deemed unmanageably psychotic or with no motivation to change. To enlighten is to teach. My tactic is to enlighten you with empathy, understanding, and an inspiration to change yourself. This is a sure fire way to create positive social change and fight stigma against mental health.

Blessed with the gift of gab as a child, Joshua Shea was always an overachiever, while simultaneously hiding his addiction secrets. Already a full-time award-winning journalist at 19, Joshua hid his alcoholism and pornography addiction from family friends and colleagues for years. At the age of 25 he was diagnosed as bipolar, but despite medication to balance his moods, the addictions continued. As his personal and professional lives flourished, he was able to maintain "functional addiction." In 2009, he created Lewiston Auburn Magazine, a regional magazine in Central Maine, serving as its editor and publisher for more than four years. He was also a co-founder of the Lewiston Auburn Film Festival, dubbed one of the country's "25 Coolest Film Festivals of 2013" by Moviemaker Magazine. At the same time he did these two things, he served a term as a City Councilor in Auburn, Maine between 2011 and 2013. Following a drop in business in 2013, Shea made the horrible mistake of pulling himself off of his bipolar medication, rationalizing if he could tap into his manic, creative side, he'd be able to save the company. It was a gross miscalculation. His addictions exploded and life took a serious turn for the worse. As his 20-year addiction was reaching a critical level in late 2013, Shea made the error of engaging a teenage girl in an online chatroom. Shea immediately entered a facility for alcohol addiction in California where he spent 10 weeks and shortly after that spent 7 weeks at an inpatient facility in Texas for sex/porn addiction. He also spent the two years between his arrest and sentencing in deep therapy, attending 12 step groups and learning as much as he could about addiction and more specifically, pornography addiction. While serving a short jail sentence in early 2016, Shea wrote his first book, "The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About: How I Let My Pornography Addiction Hurt People and Destroy Relationships," eventually released in January 2018. His follow-up book, "He’s a Porn Addict…Now What?" was released December 2019. Both are available through Amazon. In 2017, Joshua launched RecoveringPornAddict.com. He has also contributed articles about recovery to TheFix.com and Recovery Today magazine and has developed and presented three versions of a speech about addiction and overcoming the odds for churches, libraries and other groups. Shea has made over 75 podcasts, television and radio show appearances using his personal story to promote the ideas that porn addiction spans all demographics and those with a problem should seek help before it’s too late, as it became in his case. He's also an expert at explaining the issue as it faces society (32% of men under 30 say they have a problem with pornography) and talking about what needs to be done to change things. Sober since early 2014, Joshua still lives in Central Maine with his wife and two children.

Carlotta Taylor From foster care to living in too many shelters to count, depression and suicidal attempts, Carlotta Taylor, author, International John Maxwell certified speaker, trainer and coach knows that it was nothing but the grace of God that kept her from jail, the streets or worse. Transferred from multiple foster care homes and shelters because of abuse and neglect, she learned early on that if she didn’t transform her mind, she would be consumed by the chaotic world around her. Realizing that nothing just happens—and that God uses even our suffering to be a blessing—Carlotta seeks to inspire others to press beyond their breaking point, even if she only touches one person. Severely beaten by her father, and suffering mental, spiritual and physical abuse in the many foster homes she once resided in, Carlotta encourages people worldwide to know that their difficulties in life do not have to define their future. As a former homicide detective, child protection detective, and former federal officer, with 15 years of law enforcement experience, she knew she had to use her knowledge and wisdom to effect greater change in and around the community. As the founder of Somebody Step In, Inc., a non-profit for foster children, teens and young adults, she offers coaching and mentorship in education, life skills and more. Her extensive professional and personal background has opened doors for her to serve as a motivational speaker nationwide. After having received three accommodation awards in law enforcement, even in her retirement, it is crystal clear that this is not just a career for her. It’s ministry. After searching for her purpose for years, she soon learned that her purpose was to share her story and inspire others who may be going through what she endured and overcame triumphantly. And even though she’s great at everything from makeup, hair and art—and even truck driving—she gets no greater fulfillment than that of walking someone through their healing process. Suddenly, life as she knew it all made sense. In her debut book, No More Flinching, Carlotta outlines five key steps to overcoming adversity. Flinching was the reaction she had right before her father oftentimes punched her in the face. But even after he and her mother divorced, the damage already done, she still flinched if someone reached for something near her. Until one day, it all stopped. She didn’t flinch anymore. More importantly, she learned how to truly forgive her father. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Social Services, a Master’s in Science and Leadership from Belhaven University, Carlotta is using her educational, spiritual and emotional skill sets to host workshops under Somebody Step In, Inc., which will include goal setting, journaling, gear and gift cards to attendees. With her strong spirit of discernment, clear vision about the future, wit and love for others, she’s committed to shining her light brightly for all to see and encourages others to do the same.
