Travel Time Stories with Shannon: Real Journeys, Real Stories, Real Healing
Travel Time Stories was created from a deeply personal journey—one shaped by life experiences, unexpected paths, and a commitment to healing and growth.
What began as a love for travel and meaningful conversation has grown into a space where real stories are shared, meaningful connections are formed, and healing begins.
Shannon and her co-host Ann share heartfelt conversations with their guests about adventure, healing, resilience, and the moments that shaped them. Whether the journey spans continents or travels the path of wisdom, these stories remind us that travel has the power to connect, inspire, and heal.
Life is a journey and every journey is worth telling.
As the community has grown, so has the vision-expanding into The Story Circle, where listeners are encouraged not only to hear stories, but to reflect on and share their own. They can make new friends, get more involved with the show, gain support, and connect on a deeper level.
TTS is about connection, understanding, and the belief that when we share our journeys, we remind each other that we are never alone.
Whether you’re navigating change, searching for connection, or simply love meaningful stories, you’re welcome here.
So, grab your favorite beverage and join us on the journey because the best stories are the ones we live.
