Shaun McClure is the founder of Stigma Shift, a speaker, mental health advocate, and community leader whose work is rooted in lived experience.
After navigating childhood trauma, addiction, and nearly 25 years of incarceration, Shaun transformed those experiences into a life centered on service and purpose. Today, he serves as President of NAMI Payson and a Governor on the NAMI Arizona State Board, working throughout Northern Arizona in mental health education and advocacy.
A longtime Toastmaster and former host of the Stigma Shift radio show, Shaun created the Five Gears framework to help people move from awareness and healing into discipline, purpose, momentum, and legacy.
Through Stigma Shift, Shaun helps people move beyond simply surviving their past and intentionally build what comes next.
Every journey begins with a shift.
