Forged in Friendship: Saying Farewell to Shannon

In this heartfelt episode of The Shining Beautiful Series Podcast, Mikelle and Katherine sit down with Shannon, the eldest member of Mikelle’s support team, as she prepares to head off on new adventures.

Over the past year, Shannon has brought boundless energy, sharp organizational skills, and her unique background as a blacksmith and metal artist to the team. Together, we reflect on what drew her to the job, what she’s learned about working with someone with cerebral palsy, the challenges she’s faced, and the unexpected gifts along the way.

Mikelle leads the conversation with thoughtful and fun questions, including a lighthearted rapid-fire round that will make you smile. While we’ll miss Shannon, this episode celebrates the friendships and connections that last far beyond the job.
