Episode Highlights

When We Keep Repeating Patterns

Shannon shares how he kept suppressing and repressing emotions over the years.
This culminated in a trigger when his friend canceled his birthday plans.
He has a habit of making people’s emotions about himself.
Having self-worth and self-esteem tied to others harms relationships in many ways.
The events of Shannon’s birthday were a wake-up call.

Listening to our Truth

We often ignore signs and signals about our truths.
For Shannon, the trigger event was when he resolved to wake up and tackle his codependency problems.
We need to learn how to communicate with ourselves.

Shannon’s Struggle with the Book

Shannon grew up learning how to be a mediator and shapeshifter for his parents, who would not communicate.
He felt a lot of power knowing things his parents didn’t know about each other.
When writing his book, he felt the urge to edit it to appease his parents.
But he had to stand his ground and write down his truth.

Power of the Unconscious Mind

Before publishing, Shannon had all this anxiety because he felt he needed to tell his father about the book’s content.
He suddenly had a dream about his grandfather that finally gave him the courage to publish the book.
He realized that his actions are not just for his healing but also those around him.
The unconscious mind and the universe are the same.
Listen to the full episode to learn more about Shannon’s dream and how we need to listen to synchronicities.

What Relationships Teach Us

Every relationship is a teacher; we can learn something about ourselves from these experiences.
Shannon shares how he adopted a puppy, Ginger, when he became newly single and lived alone for the first time.
Sometimes, he would get so mad at Ginger and realized that he grew jealous of his puppy.
He longed for the level of care and love he was giving Ginger.
Shannon used to feel so much shame from his anger. Listen to the full episode to learn how he’s learning to work through it.

Radical Acceptance

Shannon feels radically loved when he allows himself to be himself.
For Shannon, being radically loved means taking off your armor and jumping in, getting naked vulnerably and emotionally.

5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode

[18:39] “I'm gonna have to learn how to work with this and finally give up the codependency that continues to harm myself and others in subtle and not so subtle ways in my relationships.”

[19:43] “The nature of truth and connecting to the truth within us. It speaks to us in whispers and our meditation practice. It speaks to us, but we don't tend to listen to it, so then it starts to knock, and it starts to lay into things in life.”

[27:54] “The bigger picture of this thing that I'm healing within myself is going to ripple not just into future generations and the people around me.”

[39:28] “What I learned was that part of my rage was that I was so jealous of how good I was taking care of her [Ginger, my dog]. And my inner child and my wounded self was longing for that level of care for myself, and I needed to learn how to take care of Shannon.”

[40:25] “How can I exhaust this intense emotion without harming myself or others? That's my practice now is like I that's what I love about what you said is you don't feel shame about your tantrums. And that is the key; I used to feel shame about my anger. So I would suppress it, which guaranteed that it would come out stronger later.”
