Road Trips, Roller Rinks, & Bombshell Birthday

Send us a text

Join me, Shannon, as we journey back to the late ’70s and ’80s for a nostalgic look at road trips—when paper maps, roller-skating rinks, and family adventures ruled the day. I’ll share memories of fried chicken picnics, arcade games, Meramec Caverns, and my girl’s trip with my mom.

But this episode also takes a more personal turn. I open up about my early teen years in Adamsville—the friends who made me feel at home, the roller rink that became my happy place, and the 13th birthday that changed everything when I learned I was adopted.

From high school adventures in Nashville and Atlanta to the start of lifelong friendships, this chapter of my life shaped the woman—and storyteller—I am today.

📌 In This Episode:

• What road trips were like before GPS & smartphones
• The magic of roller-skating and the movie Xanadu
• A deeply personal story about family, identity, and resilience
• Travel tips to make your next road trip smooth & memorable
