Travel Time Stories with Shannon: Real Journeys, Real Stories, Real Healing

Shannon is the heart behind TTS. A storyteller and traveler at soul level, she believes journeys—both across the world and within ourselves—have the power to heal, connect, and transform. Through honest conversations, she creates space for stories that inspire reflection, resilience, and connection. Based in Texas, Shannon brings a deeply personal and authentic voice to every episode. Her journey has been anything but ordinary—growing up in a large adoptive family, navigating trauma and healing, and ultimately finding her way back to herself through personal growth, reflection, and connection. With a background in healthcare and years of experience in administrative leadership and travel advising, Shannon combines organization, empathy, and curiosity to create meaningful conversations with guests from all walks of life.
Her mission is simple but powerful: to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and reminded that they are not alone. She is Gen X, mother of 2 and currently working on her memoir. Her hobbies are travel, reading, and baking!

Based in Missouri, Ann’s friendship has been a guiding force in Shannon’s journey, offering support, laughter, and real-life connection that translates naturally into their conversations on the podcast. Together, they create a dynamic that feels genuine, relatable, and deeply rooted in friendship. She is a baby boomer and grandmother of 4. Her hobbies are travel, gardening, reading and cooking!
