Shannon - this girl is real, she will show herself to you, igniting that heart connection. You will relate, she is earthy, yet fiery and open to give you hope.
Shannon is a warrior, battling more than just one debilitating illness and currently healing from a double hip replacement and overcoming some unexpected complications. She pushes on one foot in front of the other. She is truly an inspiration to many. This girl has grit, she is not stopping because it feels too damn good to feel good, feels too damn good to love and to feel connected to others, to nature and to her Higher Power. Her passion is to share her story and inspire others to give themselves a chance to heal. Shannon will walk with you along the way.
In Shannon's words:
Our journey as a family along the bumpy road of addiction, mental illness and recovery.
My addiction allowed me to hide from my pain and struggles of feeling like a failure as a single mom until I hit my darkest place thinking my kids would be better off without me.
In this hopeless, despairing state something beyond me hit me, I finally surrendered and called out for help. That is when I learned that alcoholism is a disease, a family disease and it takes a team to recover as a family.
I have grit and passion to share my story, to impact other families, giving them hope that healing is possible for them too.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. ASK for help - You are not alone
2. Be totally Honest - Speak Your Truth
3. It is OK to be Human.

In Emile's words:
Throughout my whole life, I had this little voice in my head that always told me I am not good enough or I can't do this. This made making changes in my life almost impossible, the more I tried to change the more I failed, I couldn't understand why can't make changes stick. Until I was in my early to mid 20's I discovered that if I want to make the changes stick, I have to change that little voice, with the help of mentors and coaches I found a way to change that little voice which changed everything else.
I grew up having extremely low self-esteem even though I had the most amazing parents, I always felt lonely in school and around my friends, I had this voice in my head that always told me no one liked me, they only felt sorry for me that is why they kept me around. When I was 24, I discovered where that little voice came from and how it controlled my life. When I changed it, my whole life changed, now I help other people overcome their little voice so they can become their best hero and do what they love.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Become very conscious of your thoughts and phrases. (write them down)
2. Ask yourself what feeling did that thought triggered?
3. Work on changing your top 3 limiting thoughts and phrases.

Lydia Knorr has over two decades in the health and wellness industry, with the greatest part of her career, working in media. She has combined her passion for well-being and people engagement to provide coaching programs in the areas of personal growth, connection to self and positive change. She helps others get to the heart of what truly matters to them and demonstrates how becoming more of themselves, not less, is exactly what the world needs. Lydia says that honoring our own uniqueness and extending that out into the world is the reason we are all here.
In Lydia's words:
Our personal stories are as unique as a fingerprint. Whether filled with hope, despair, victories, losses, darkness, or light, they are a collection of the lessons we’ve learned, the wisdom we’ve gained, and the growth we’ve experienced. They enable us to connect the dots of our lives, and create a roadmap to see how we arrived at the place we are today. This provides us with a depth of understanding about our own uniqueness that can be used as a gift and a guide for creating a window into our future and making our mark on the world.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Practice self-awareness and get really honest with yourself about who you are and what you want from this life.
2. Adapt a positive mindset by looking for the silver linings in every situation, even when it’s hard. Ask yourself: What’s good about this situation? What can I learn from it? Is there something about this situation I can be grateful for? Hint: the answer is almost always a resounding YES.
3. Live in alignment with the things you value most, and you will get the most out of living.

Scott has traveled the world for the past 30 years, living in 52 countries, serving in 2 combat tours including the delivery of regional and global projects as a global consultant.
Being a past victim of burnout to the point where he actually died, his journey to recovery helped him develop a personalized growth roadmap entitled TIME | LIFE | SELF which is derived from his life’s lessons learned.
Additionally, Scott offers Leadership Transformation services helping executives and managers recognize their organization’s performance thresholds and how to counter polluted circumstances while reducing stress and burnout.
In Scott's words:
Little did I realize how many directions one’s life could go. As a child, I dreamed of exploring the world over. Serving in 2 combat tours at 18 years old forced me to grow up quicker than others. Experiencing death gave me a different outlook on the value of life.
Promising myself to live my life to the fullest, I sought a life that would keep me moving, learning. Working unthinkable projects in harsh conditions, until I couldn’t. Leading to my death. Why this and the ensuing depression happened is how I created my TIME | LIFE | SELF program.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Time Management Tips
2. How Life Organization is like a puzzle- can’t keep it all in your head!
3. The Self Connection Cycle: Consciousness ➔Mindfulness ➔Meditation

In the 1980s, Craig Brown, Author of Stop Hiding Start Healing, lived the high life. He worked for one of the biggest cocaine dealers on the east coast and partied with music moguls and professional athletes while self-medicating on drugs and alcohol.
Brown is now walking in his God-given purpose and has led thousands of others to freedom as a Recovery Pastor in the Washington, D.C. area. He has helped countless families find wholeness and healing for their loved ones struggling with pain and shame. Today, in the midst of an opioid epidemic, mental health crisis, and a pandemic, Brown felt the call of God to share his story and vast knowledge of recovery with as many people as possible.
Brown’s message could not be more timely. In 2019, nearly 50,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses. In 2017, 1.7 million people suffered from substance abuse disorders related to opioids. Unfortunately, drug abuse has a stigma that prevents many from getting the help they need, and family members are often at a loss with how to assist in the road to recovery. According to Brown, most seek help because of their pain, not their addiction. Brown shares life-saving counsel to Christians and communities grappling with these mental health issues.
Brief Bio (100 words max.) Please make it well crafted and concise.
Craig is a public speaker and author, as well as the Recovery Pastor and Director at Church of the Redeemer in Gaithersburg, MD, since 1999. In his 20+ years as a Recovery Pastor, he has helped thousands of people, including business owners and professional leaders, to find the healing and freedom from shame in Christ that delivers us from pain, guilt, and shame. He is a former radio Local Sales Manager at Salem Communications WAVA 105.1 FM. Craig lives in the Washington DC area with his wife and three sons.

There are few books that have shocked me as much as Gloria Masters' "On Angels' Wings: My flight from trauma to grace". This extraordinary powerful story of Gloria’s journey from darkness into light is one of hope, resilience and the unrelenting power of the human spirit to survive
In June 1960, in middle-class suburban New Zealand, a child was born into sex slavery. For the first sixteen years of her life, Gloria suffered horrendous sexual, physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her father, with no one to protect her. From the underworld of her father’s paedophile ring to the groups he trafficked her to, she found an inner strength and light, that kept her mind from being destroyed.
This is Gloria Masters first book, simply because it was time for the truth to be revealed. A mother herself, her career includes teaching, therapy and business consulting. She regularly blogs on Gloriamasters.com. with focus on hope, love and joy and follows her Angels wherever they lead her.
3 top tips for my audience:
1. There is always hope
2. The Shame never belonged to you
3. You are not alone
