Are you living a life you want to live?


Today I want to introduce you to Shannon, as someone I’ve had the honor of exploring the world with, calling a friend, and drinking rose in the pool on a floating swan; Shannon is one who is intentionally living the life she wants to live 


It is often we forget that we are in control of how we live, of what we do, and who we become. We chat about what it looks like to honor who you are, to be who you were made to be, and to live life to the fullest 


She shares how loss at a young age was both something she would change in a heartbeat but how it was also the greatest gift that was given to her, how choosing and intentionally looking for joy in everyday is a must, and how finding the beauty in the ashes is what determines so much of how we see life and those around us 


We chat about what it looks like to be the best version of yourself, what it means to have the support and love of someone who both desires and supports that in you and pursues it in themself as well


She shares how working in a mans world and often for women challenges her, but more importantly how she continues to choose to hold on to kindness and the knowledge that if the worst thing that is said is “you’re too nice” then like was not at all a loss


Shannon is one that has been a soft and safe friend in my life, one that has reminded me what it is to know your tribe, to trust yourself, and to love that version of who you are becoming


So tune in today and meet Shannon, and let her words do the same for you, let them remind you to be kind, that contentment is ok to be found in the now, that you get to choose to be you, and that the sunset will make your life better when you sit with it


And to you Shannon thank you, thank you for always reminding me I have a place at your table and never ever making me question if you value being at mine, thank you for your softness and gentle kindness in a world that can feel cruel, and thank you for being so excited about every creative idea that crosses your mind and sharing them with me. You are what makes the world a better place, love you.
