Thanks so much Shannon for creating a safe space with this podcast to be able to share so much of myself. You made it so comforting and easy to be vulnerable and I'm very thankful to you for that♥I miss you and LA so much already!

[@nowthisisliving]

[@vaniaroquegarcia7369]

Shannon Burns you have so much brightness in you, you're such an amazing, powerful and wonderful woman, may life keep bringing you love and happiness ❤ Thank you Shannon Bev. for this podcast and this ep, keep on with this brilliant magnificent podcast

[@maddalenaranieridare]

i'm so happy to finally hear a story of someone who got out of the church but still believes in god, especially here in italy i still have to find queer people who didn't completely reject the idea of god because of organized religions

[@kbelle9569]

Same. It feels like I never truly fit in anywhere because of this.

[@debbiebeveridge1883]

Loved this episode with the other Shannon B! She’s been through so much and those parts made me emotional. You know I was tearing up. She has such a strong sense of self and should be so proud of herself. Also ❤ the picture in Casey’s office at the beginning with me, Casey and Grandma! Love you, Shannon!

[@itsshannonburns]

Thanks Deb!! I'm such a fan!

[@indegrrees]

One of the only podcast episodes I've gone back and rewatched right after finishing. Thank you Shannon for being so honest.

[@SKYLARHOP]

It's tragic what shannon b has been through...she's such a brave heart to share this with a smile.. you deserve all the love and happiness in the world Thank you 🤍......

[@shelbylau7595]

they're both Shannon B's

[@itsshannonburns]

Also petition to get Katia on the pod!

[@3Oh3metrostation]

PLEASE KATIA!! 🙏🙏❤❤

[@gracey95]

Shannon squared this is my favourite episode too! it has took me from feeling my feelings, shedding a few tears to laughing out loud at the screen at the ending. Thank you Shannon Burns for sharing your story with us, what an incredible woman you are. I'm in awe!!! and Shannon (host, lol) loved this episode, thank you for giving us this content. The last bit was hilarious and I loved the Vanessa cameo too :p /

[@coachholly21]

I also met my wife on Tumblr 😅 I've followed both Shannons for a long time, and it was so beautiful to see the two of you have such a nice, open conversation

[@Leah-rb1vg]

This is my favorite episode. I resonated so much to your story Shannon and thank you for sharing your experience. I feel very validated and seen. Congratulations on your engagement!

[@intrepid_astronaut]

This was such a lovely episode, Shannon Burns is beyond endearing and such a bright light. I can't imagine the tremendous courage and introspection it's taken to share her story and be so vulnerable with a public audience, but am so grateful that she was willing to. Thank you, as always, for creating such a safe and happy place for people to fully immerse themselves to reflect and/or revel, for better or for worse, in the experiences that bonds so many of us.

[@ChantelleRowland]

What a human being you are shannon burns that smile on your face shows how much you haven't let life beat you, you're thriving regardless of what you've had happen to you. This world needs more people like you, living your truth. Just love this podcast so much.

[@nvbdnj]

This is such a great episode. Thank you for using your voice and speaking out about such heavy topics like this I hope it can reach more people and help them feel less alone if they’ve experienced something similar❤❤❤sending so much love to y’all ❤❤❤

[@3Oh3metrostation]

Shannon, your doing so good and I hope you know that this podcast is immensely enjoyable and we're so glad to have it. Interviewing the interviewer went great! And looking forward to next epi! ❤❤

[@L00kninjas]

Honestly iphone video quality still looks pretty damn good . Audio quality is the biggest part of podcasts for me since i often listen while doing work. So can't always watch the whole way through.

[@someonesomehow379]

I love the laidback intro and hope your feeling better

[@EmilySkeelsMN]

Get Kat on the pod! As a videographer myself, I’d love to hear y’all’s perspectives!

[@ashleyjones8297]

This podcast is everything I’ve been missing. The openness and honesty surrounding mental health, queerness, and sex … thank you for helping me feel less othered! “All I know is I never want to see it again!” 😂😂 im dying and I completely agree

[@astoldbybianx]

Such a wonderful episode! Shannon Burns is amazing !

[@jessicanoyola4484]

I remember awhile back you spoke with the aces around when they released wmhfv and it would be so cool to have them on an episode now that they’ve got a couple more albums under their belt!

[@nath9773]

How sweet and touching both of you are!

[@selenaprima3354]

Half expected some Death Eaters to appear with the name drop at the end there 😅

[@megshogie6123]

Welcome (back) to the East Coast, Shannon! Happy to have you and your energy back over here 😊 Hope the job goes great and you have an equally awesome time seeing your sis! ❤

[@kelleylewis8264]

This is healing to listen to. Thank you for this discussion.

[@LucyLeigut]

Shannon² ❤. Loved this podcast.

[@martinsakmens8352]

Shanonn ❤ Loved this podcast

[@sharonabigailariashurtado8954]

Loved the vibe on this episode ❤

[@hmmcms1]

I would’ve been so sad if they went home without Shannon B being on the pod!❤️ Edit: just registered you’re both Shannon B😂😂😂 And such a funny ending lol

[@lechuga1583]

Shannon is from Dallas?! No wayyy her experiences make so much more sense as a lesbian from Fort Worth! Edit: this has probably been the most healing episode for me on this podcast thanks for all y’all do ❤️

[@chloes228]

Yes!!! Happy birthday to me. This is awesome

[@ltrillium1000]

Whenever someone says that gay/lesbianism is a choice I always ask them when they chose to be straight?

[@tenzero5274]

Great episode, what a sweetheart

[@wweleah]

This was an incredible episode. And also wow you pulled out something from my past teen internet time I totally forgot about lesbian answers with Jenna. I used to watch that too!!

[@isabeauhvitstein2820]

I think all of us are interested in basically everything you do. So yes also interested in the photo/ video stuff you do😁

[@winec00ler]

Totally relate to the "this is a challege you have to overcome" metallity.

[@pridetherapy]

Thanks for covering this topic. I came out 25 years ago and was entrenched in the church. I was able to not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I still have a strong spirituality with a combination of the mythical parts of Christianity and Buddhism.

[@inas1762]

Favorite so far!!! Thank you

[@Oneness298]

I’m an older fan, when i started having feelings for my best girl friends i felt i was born in the wrong body. i was supposed to be a boy. i cried and prayed every night that i would wake up as a boy.

[@ITZAKY-o6x]

Shannon and her fiancée are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story🤍

[@twildabuckingham]

Hah I love the editing Shannon did making Shannon look like Shannon wanted to date Shannon's sisters

[@isabeauhvitstein2820]

We definitely don’t care about the phone filming😂😉

[@ninreck5121]

yes please do ask your videographer friend to come on the pod!!

[@lechuga1583]

30:54 wow the girl Shannon liked was so brave because I was secretly in love with my best friend and I never confessed to her partially because my parents (mostly my dad) are the same

[@goldbluetiger]

Hey Shannon, I've got an observation about the "it''s okay" moment in this episode. It seems like whenever Fletcher comes up in a conversation, you shy away from saying her name directly. I'm genuinely curious about this "she-who-must-not-be-named" situation when she's a public figure and your past relationship is common knowledge. No negative intentions in this comment - I'm only scratching my head trying to understand this lesbian relationship math.

[@3Oh3metrostation]

It might be because shannon gets really harsh criticism for everything she does. Even when she's sharing her own life stories and not naming any exes, people accuse her of exploiting her partners. Trolls are annoying and hateful and its only a matter of time before they find something to create drama about, unfortunately 🙄 I respect Shannon's efforts to be kind and over the top respectful but haters are unavoidable...

[@goldbluetiger]

@@3Oh3metrostation heya, interesting perspective. it could be that.

[@3Oh3metrostation]

@@goldbluetiger yea i figured bc donna missal (her exes sister) went on an angry rant on Instagram about how shannon is using her sister and how immoral she is for doing a podcast bla bla blah. She now deleted the comment. Right after that shannon censored a part of her podcast episode: in the preview clip she was talking about how zolita changed the music while she was having relations with a girlfriend. In the actual podcast episode, shannon edited out the "with a girlfriend" part. And she seems to censor herself a LOT more since the drama or be vague. Personally, I think she's trying too hard to be respectful and censored but idk what its like to be an online personality.

[@Karleyrosenquist]

Tumblr continuing to change lives out here…but you’re right so it’s so not the same!

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

I love this soooo much one of my favorite episodes for sure 🔥❤🌈

[@alexi1712]

Is it too late to go to Tumblr and find my future wife?

[@Beingsharvari.]

intense but wholesome..!❤

[@terrydillon9323]

Thank you.

[@e7vinegar1]

My coworker also met her wife on tumblr 😂 I guess I missed out 😒

[@chiefdancingostriche]

i avoid church as much as i can manage. i consider it corrupt.

[@user-my2ew8ep8u]

Thank you❤

[@asha7085]

Damn, this was an EPISOOODE 🥲 Thanks Shannon Burns for being open to sharing what you’ve been through. Shannon Bev, you rock. I know this was healing for so many people. I hear what you said about adversity increasing your happiness cos now I know why I feel so grateful to be alive! 🩷 Ps God loves all his children!

[@alisonnelson161]

Shannon I just listened to Fletchers new song and I'm assuming its about you lol How did you make her go so crazy over you? Like shes genuinely so unhinged over you lol

[@nicolette329]

Hey Shannon wanted to let you know that Vanessa was correct too that Shannon did say it at the end of her interview with your ex bc that’s where I saw it. I missed the tweet about it. I thought it was funny at the time bc she pretty much verified y’all were together. Sorry to hear it was all bad timing for you. Shannon Burns if you see this I love watching your interviews I think you’re great 🤍

[@MTTigre]

A friend from tumblr was in my wedding party😩

[@sidessherri]

Kat come on the pod cast

[@ltrillium1000]

Please don't say "Shut Up," say Be Quiet!

[@samc5163]

But when you think about it, why was a man and a women ever considered exclusive to love each other sexually? Just because this combo can procreate? Guess so, but clearly not the case and we should all wake up

[@alexandralecce2517]

The Karen that felt the compulsion to email Shannon about her engagement made me irrationally angry. Why can’t straight people keep their shitty, bigoted opinions to themself?

[@vaniaroquegarcia7369]

Kat go to the podcast, you're so wonderful and you'll be loved ❤

[@kange859]

Her sexual assault story feels so resonant, am so happy that her mother believed her n supported her, mine she was actually the opposite, when her I told about her sexually abusive husband she didn't believe me lol she turned my story around and told my other family members how I have been having a secret relationship with her husband bla bla I don't know if I will ever forgive her

[@ITZAKY-o6x]

Ashlyn Harris is in New York now. Her girlfriend followed you on tiktok. Please have her on your podcast.

[@emilymisty798]

You can be a third with 2 other thirds.
