Travel Time Stories with Shannon: Real journeys, real stories, real healing
Life is a journey—and every journey has a story worth telling.
On Travel Time Stories with Shannon, I share my real-life adventures in travel alongside the raw, honest chapters of my personal journey. From adoption, trauma, and resilience to family, marriage, motherhood, and healing—you’ll hear it all, unpolished and straight from the heart.
Each week, you’ll travel with me through unforgettable trips, mishaps, and memories that shaped my life, while I also pull back the curtain on the struggles and triumphs that made me who I am today. Some stories will make you laugh, others may make you cry, but all of them are meant to remind you that you’re not alone. I am building a community of connections.
This isn’t your typical travel podcast—it’s travel + life, woven together in storytelling form. My hope is that by sharing my truth, you’ll find encouragement for your own journey, and maybe even be inspired to make memories for life along the way.
