Shannon, every time you open your mouth and speak you validate my feelings and thoughts. It makes me feel so much less lonely. Thank you for posting regularly again!

[@DreaTysonxx]

Shannon I appreciate your honesty and letting us into your world including ups and downs. I just wanna say to remember to protect your own peace as well, your own way of healing is valid. I have watched every episode and you’re always very respectful and kind. Try not to be so hard on yourself 🩵🩵

[@3Oh3metrostation]

I notice that too. Shannon really goes out of her way to be nothing but kind and respectful. I hope things get better and her next month is easier.

[@smadd091]

Thank you for being here today Shannon! I appreciate the check-ins ❤

[@CassidyQuinn]

Oohhhh the way you described wanting to just disappear sometimes... YES. You are so not alone in that. I can very much relate, and have never heard anyone say it outloud so clearly. It definitely comes in waves, and it's so hard to feel, whether or not I have a "reason" to point to of why I'm feeling that way. So thanks for saying the tough stuff outloud 💜

[@debbiebeveridge1883]

You know your family is always here for you and we love you so very much!🥰

This collab makes me so happy! Long time fan of you Shannon and I’ve been listening to Rachel and McKenzie for years and just saw them live a few months ago. They are so wonderful. ❤

I honestly love this podcast so much and it‘s so nice to see regular videos from you again!

that makes me so happy!!!

McKenzie and Rachel are hilarious! Loved this episode!

[@someonesomehow379]

shannon it’s okay to be burnt out or tired of sharing on regular basis and this is u being real with us not taking it for granted.. u are human and it’s normal to feel this way when it’s been a while.. I just hope you’re taking care of yourself

[@nicolette329]

Love u Shannon. Take your time, don’t rush yourself into doing more than you can take on right now. Your mental health is more important than a podcast. Give yourself grace, keep the main focus on healing and getting yourself to a happy and comfortable place. It’s your turn to be truly happy and love yourself and give yourself the love and compassion that you have given to so many other people. Keeping you in my prayers and remember we’re all human, no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. That’s how we learn and grow ❤

[@garimasetia241]

omg i love the three of you together! the dynamic, so much fun!

[@WISH2025]

Healing is not a linear process. I'm with you, I've been dealing with my mental health lately too.❤ and i know one day it will be okay

The 100% best part of a non-hetero wedding is getting to pick and choose which traditions you want or don't want. We don't have to be hampered by the weight of what we are "supposed to do". I am already breaking the first traditional rule by marrying a woman lol

[@Anna-19928]

I’m planning my gay wedding right now, and it’s the best ever! But input from my traditional mom (not homophobic, very supportive of our relationship, but thinks weddings should be traditional) is killing me

[@kaitlynwhitlock109]

@@Anna-19928 congratulations! So happy for you :) we always came back to - it's our day. it has to feel right for us, and when it feels right for us we will be more comfortable and happy, and our guests will feel that too.

I already know this is going to be a fire ep !

[@clv8939]

Shannon I cant believe you can do this every week. These conversations bring up issues to deal with every week no wonder you get mentally exhausted. And i enjoy these broadcast. It is a whole new world for me. I have been in a relationship for 38 years and married for 15. When you meet the right person the wedding falls into place I love the dry February. I think it would be so hard in that culture

[@brookieeH]

My mom wore a giant hat! Shannon your the best and so genuine.. and honestly I feel like that every Monday work starts I think! Haha keep plugging through . You got this

Hi Shannon, I just listened to the beginning when you talk about you and what happens lately. Cheer up, I’m in that process too after a break up and other things. What I learned from previous experience and being an avoidant as well is that we need to go through it. It is the only way out. We have no choice except doing that and it’s a work in progress so Patience and awareness is very important. It might be too cheesy but be kind to yourself as if it was your friend. If we avoid it, it will comeback to you and be harder to handle. (I had to learn it the hard way) Anyway, I came across your content really recently on the Made it out podcast. And apparently you are the queer queen 🤣 I really love your vibe and I’m very happy you have a podcast now. You became a part of my own journey so thank you. I’m grateful I found you, it was the right moment for me. 🙏💛

[@kh863]

Shannon! I unabashedly have a crush on you, and I'm a late bloomer who only recently stumbled upon your content. You're adorable! Sorry to hear about your mental health struggles. We've all been there, but I can't imagine how amplified it is to be in the public eye. What you do is very valuable though. Thank you for the conversations you're having!

[@madelinedaub3611]

I can confirm, my mom wore a hat at her wedding and I am gay 😅😂 I also incorporated her dress into my wedding dress.

[@Shaiyene]

I related so much to your intro. I am also sober for all the same reasons and yeah. Youre not the only one ❤

[@intrepid_astronaut]

As a master procrastinator, I remember my cousin and I were trying to make original cocktails for my upcoming wedding and she goes "have you picked out your dress already?" In typical last-minute fashion, I had not, so, about five or six palomas deep we hopped online and I literally picked the first bridal gown I saw. So, pro tip, don't get blasted and put your dress shopping off until the last minute, or else you'll end up with a white prom dress from David's bridal. Still rocked it though. 🤪 Anyway, as always, another phenomenal episode, Shannon!

[@natashamurcia4313]

so here for the realness. breakups fucking suck i just went through one myself and lemme tell ya that shits a rollercoaster. mistakes are bound to happen when we’re in a place of healing and reckoning with ourselves. there's really no right way to do it. there’s no way around the pain and GRIEF. love u shannon xoxox i’m crushing :-)

I had a breast reduction 2 years ago!! Recovery is about a week, but you cannot lift/do certain workouts for a good year. Here in Quebec (and I believe all over Canada) breast reductions are covered by the Government if you take out a certain amount!!!!

[@tenzero5274]

I really am enjoying this podcast, you’re doing a great job! I think it’s normal to get a little overwhelmed when u stop and realize what you’re doing, but i guess sometimes the best way to get through that is to just carry on and try to not get paralyzed by the thoughts! Then they’ll get less scary. P.s. yeah it’s confirmed you look so good in gray

[@brucefaith]

I completely understand. Half of my family didn't come to my wedding. Sad.

I feel like I grew up in a different queer community. Since Secondary School (High school, in the UK) out of say a friendship group of 10, only 2 people were straight, yet we never slept with each other 😂 I am starting to believe I was in the wrong friendships group 🤣

Also hi, never apologize for being a ‘debbie downer’ (which you weren’t being! you were being real!) sitting with your emotions is so hard and it’s easy to avoid ourselves- so i’m sending you love on this journey 🥹🤍

[@rpmmoth712]

Hi Shannon, I feel like this could help people in general and I've experienced it myself. But something that helps me to see out of my mind is taking iron with b vitamins. It's really good for the mind. Sometimes I didn't know why I was down, like I had no reason to be. But when I started taking iron with the b vitamins, vitamin d (NOW brand) I started to level out alot. I think of it like this - your body doesn't function great when dehydrated and just like the body the brain doesn't function great without the necessary vitamins etc. Hope this can help.

I enjoy listening but find the podcast audio really quiet still, I had it turned all the way up on my phone with headphones on but still couldn’t hear parts of what was being said over the ambient noises at the gym, and had to wait until I got home to finish it. The content is great though!

[@vanessa_GF]

Hi, Shannon. I wanted to know if it would be possible for the future to show pictures of people when talking about them. For example, when saying how beautiful her wedding dress was that you insert a pic of it? Or when talking about other people and they give consent to shortly have a pic of them on screen? That would be sort of helpful 😊👍

[@nowthisisliving]

i did put a pic in of her wedding dress!! but will continue to

It’s socially impossible to please everyone without it being at the expense of yourself. If you ask your 90 year old self if that moment will matter when you’re on your death bed the answer is probably no. Don’t ever change your authentic self, just redirect some things. Mistakes are part of what makes life, life. It always works out at the end.

Look forward to your pod. each week. We all have days where we feel like we are handling things so well and then another day we crash so to speak. Such is the roller coaster of life I guess, especially with big life events/changes. The fact that you are aware and responsive to this, is half the battle. Also, you seem like your worst critic and I definitely relate to that. Shannon, the fact that you care and acknowledge issues and mistakes, and want to do better shows how truly a good person you are. We see it and that’s why people enjoy your work.
