Episode Changed Me
I stumbled onto Travel Time Stories during a season of my life when I thought my story was too messy to matter, and Shannon and Ann changed that for me. What sets this show apart from every other podcast I've tried is that these two women are not performing — they are living out loud, laughing through the hard parts, and making space for guests whose lives have actually been through something. The episode with Russell Van Brocklen stopped me in my tracks, because here was a man who was told his brain was broken, who carried that shame for years, and who found his way to not only healing himself but giving other families a way out of that same darkness. Shannon and Ann asked him exactly the right questions — not the clinical ones, the human ones — and what came through was one of the most honest conversations about learning, shame, and hope that I have ever heard. If you are a parent whose child is struggling, or if you have ever been the child who was told they weren't enough, this episode if for you.
Great listen!
This podcast is one of my favorites. I've learned so much, and have related to the topics the hosts and guests speak about. Highly recommend.
More Than an Interview
I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Shannon on Travel Time Stories. Some podcasts feel like interviews. This didn’t. It felt like a genuine conversation between two people willing to explore the complicated, messy, emotional, and often uncomfortable parts of being human — which, ironically, is usually where the most healing and growth actually happen. Shannon has a calm, thoughtful, and very natural way of creating space for honesty without forcing it. We spoke about relationships, emotional patterns, healing, self-awareness, and the strange ways life tends to teach us lessons whether we asked for them or not. There was depth, humor, vulnerability, and enough honesty to probably make a few listeners slightly uncomfortable — which usually means the conversation mattered. I’m genuinely grateful to have been part of the show and would happily return anytime.

Shannon was a great host, asking questions that drew out my story quite well. Even better: she laughed at my jokes! It was evident that Shannon was invested in me as a guest and facilitated a strong coversation.

I am still smiling from the conversation that I shared with Ann and Shannon last night. They are kind, compassionate, intelligent women who are not only curious about the world, but truly live in it, searching for meaning and experience in their very being. I could have talked to them for hours and I so look forward to continuing our newly formed friendship. 10/10 podcast hosts

Invariable the hostess, in this case hostesses, largely determine the success of a conversation. And this was certainly the case with Shannon and Ann. Their inciteful, penetrating and illuminating questions added greatly to an hour of wonderful conversation which I hope was highly appreciated by their many listeners. I'm in their debt for helping bring the best out in me. I can only wish them every success in their future endeavors.

I loved the hour-long format. It allows for in-depth conversations and topic development. Shannon was joined by her friend Ann. Together they asked thoughtful questions that led to a truly insightful podcast. I can't wait to share it with my followers.
