This week’s episode is such a fun one—I'm joined by the inspiring and hilarious Shannon Evans, who you may recognize from HGTV’s Renovation Resort Showdown (and her iconic pink jumpsuit moment 👀). But there’s so much more to her story than what you see on TV.
We talked all about Shannon’s journey from working as a page at NBC to building a life filled with creativity, motherhood, and major manifestation wins. She opened up about what it's like to navigate male-dominated spaces as a woman in the renovation world, how she stays grounded while dreaming big, and the intentional way she’s teaching her kids to visualize success and believe in themselves.
Shannon’s energy is contagious, and her wisdom is both practical and powerful. We also talked about grief, what it’s like filming emotional moments on camera, and the deep value of supportive friendships and small circles that lift you up.
In this episode, we cover:
- 🎥 What it’s really like behind the scenes of an HGTV renovation competition
- ✨ Shannon’s favorite manifestation tools & how she makes them work
- 💪 Navigating career shifts, motherhood, and chasing big dreams
- 👷♀️ Being a woman in construction & breaking through gender norms
- 🛠️ Her love for DIY, design, and turning creative passion into purpose
- 🩷 And yes—the pink jumpsuit story gets its moment!
This conversation is full of heart, humor, and real talk about what it takes to believe in the good—in yourself, your vision, and the life you’re building.
