We follow Shannon from a fearful, unstable childhood into years of illness, allergy, and anxiety, and then into a grounded life of identity, trust, and practical freedom. Scripture, confession, and a new view of God’s goodness move her from control to peace, from scarcity to sufficiency.

• childhood turmoil, early faith, and fear shaped by trauma
• murder of her mother, adoption by grandparents, perfectionism
• years of illness: anaphylaxis, dysautonomia, vertigo, insomnia
• food controls life, hoarding mindset, isolation and doubt
• counseling, forgiveness, and letting go of judgment
• reopening the Bible: promises, identity, righteousness
• authority in Christ, armor of God, speaking scripture
• “Olive Garden moment”: acting free while feeling afraid
• healing as part of salvation, enemy has no authority
• adoption wrestle reframed as trust, not punishment
• practical steps: prayer, anointing, community, persistence
