Healing Isn’t a Straight Line. Neither Was Mine.
23 years inside taught me more about getting unstuck than any program ever could. I’m Shaun McClure — and I help people find their next gear, not their next excuse.
The Story
I didn’t plan on becoming a mental health advocate. Twenty-three years in prison wasn’t part of anyone’s five-year plan. But that’s where I learned the thing that runs through everything I do now: healing isn’t an elevator that takes you straight to the top. It’s a transmission — gears, shifts, sometimes you stall, sometimes you grind. The point is you keep moving.
Today I speak to rooms full of strangers about the things most people won’t say out loud. I run art workshops where people process more than paint. I sit with folks on a trail when talking face-to-face is too much. Different rooms, same work: helping people find the gear that gets them moving again.
