"It is time to get off the Trauma Train and get a ticket for the Joy Jet. Enough trauma, we need some Giggle Therapy!" Angela Shelton says. She asks why so many of us live with pain and suffering and keep moving back to it over and over again?

Everyone needs to read this book. Angela Shelton is the most amazing woman I know besides my mom. She made me laugh and cry and I'm a guy. I'm going to treat women better all because of Angela Shelton.
Jamie Kennedy, comedian
In 2004 when we gave Angela the Voice of Courage Award I knew she had done a remarkable, brave, courageous thing by making her documentary. But since I have come to know just what a force she is in the world. Angela is an unstoppable force for honor, justice, courage. By finding her voice she has given permission to tens of thousands of survivors to say, 'me too, it happened to me....' and thus begin there own journey of healing and recovering. As an organization that focus' on teaching responsible adults how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly we realize there are many aspects of the complicated issue of child sexual abuse we do not cover. And for the support, healing and how to become a healthy viable 'force' in the world, with honor, we point to Angela Shelton!

Founder, President & CEO of Darkness to Light
Angela's words will reach into your soul and shake you awake! She is fierce and bold and her passion to put a face on issues like domestic violence and child sexual abuse is compelling and necessary. Angela begs us with brilliant writing to ask ourselves what more we can do to unveil the truth around this topic.
Jessica Weiner, Self-Esteem Expert and Author of "Life Doesn't Begin 5 Pounds From Now" and "A Very Hungry Girl"
Bold, brave, honest and inspiring, "Finding Angela Shelton" continues to promote awareness and healing to the masses. Angela's self-professed "big mouth" is changing the world one survivor at a time...I hope she never shuts up!
Erin Weed - founder of Girls Fight Back
Finding Angela Shelton is well-written, engaging and a strong statement on why it is critical to find and USE your voice if we are ever going to end violence against women.

As the CEO, of a women's healthcare company [Instead Sciences, Inc.], I am very excited about working with Angela. I think she is terrific. She is witty, attractive, fun to experience, and most importantly, she uses her talents in a way that makes her a fantastic communicator. Her experiences and dedication to helping and empowering women provide her with credibility and respect. I can't think of anyone who could be a better spokesperson to the breath of women audiences.

I just love 'Stirring up Trouble' not only because it's what i do for a living in the courtroom, but also because I learn so much about the relationship between good food and good sex. I don't even cook -- unless you count heating up take-out in the microwave -- but after watching one show, I found myself in the vegetable section of my local grocery store looking for turnips!

REALIZING INDEPENDENCE
Angela speaks to those who have a dream whether it is to write that book, song, movie, show, or anything creative that has yet to be realized or needs to go to the next level. She tells how to keep your project out of the hands of the system, make a profit, set up distribution, advertising, and maintain control of your work even when everyone tells you it is impossible.
Angela's first movie, "Tumbleweeds", that she co-wrote and produced won the 2000 Sundance filmmaker's award and got the lead actress, Janet McTeer, a Golden Globe win and an Academy Award nomination. It was also the second highest sell at Sundance. Angela's documentary created a worldwide grassroots movement and continues making money, donating proceeds, and saving lives to this day.
Angela shares how she stayed independent and teaches how to do the same with your work no matter what creative field you're in.
Making a film is a scary undertaking, but Angela has given me direction and advice no film school could provide. Her real-world knowledge will save any serious filmmaker countless hours and dollars. Hire Angela if you want to make an incredible film on your own terms.
Erin Weed ~ founder of Girls Fight Back
I came up with a silly little on-line idea to help some friends overcome insecurities in the workplace and in the world. Then, in one afternoon, Angela took it and turned it into a full-fledged, not-so-silly, money-making business! As I cowered in the corner, she aptly pointed out that I was being insecure and didn’t believe in myself enough to really create something this big! And she was RIGHT. Now I’m launching a new brand and creating a new career for myself. She did in three hours what I couldn’t have imagined doing on my own in three years! When Angela comes knockin’ on your door, you’d better sit down. You’re in for a wild ride!
