  • What No One Says About Pregnancy Loss

    Beware! This episode comes with a trigger warning!  I get into what happened in my last pregnancy in 2020.  Originally, I was pregnant with twins but we soon discovered one of my babies had a severe chromosome disorder.  The reason I chose to tell this story now is because I recently discovered that the trauma of that experience is still affecting my physical body.

    Later in the episode, I share my thoughts after I had a reading from Soul Worker Stacy Renee.  I appeared on the Miguel & Holly Uncensored podcast on January 27, 2023.  That reading brought some comfort and closure to what happened.

    Here is a link to the show if you are interested in hearing the reading...

  • What No One Says About Manifesting

    In this episode I discuss how I manifested the activities I did for my 40th birthday.  I'm definitely not an expert, but I'm learning to be intentional about my thoughts and words to create the life I desire. Like I mentioned in the intro, you will hear my kids in the background of this episode.  I thought I could record before they came upstairs.  I thought wrong! Haha!  I hope that you enjoys and feel free to share your experiences with manifesting.

  • What No One Tells You About HBCUs

    This week's episode I go into it was like attending an HBCU.  I explained why I made the decision and my experience like graduating from Hampton University.  I know my experience is not only unique to HU, but I am certain it applies to most Historical Black College and Universities.  So it you ever went to a HBCU or currently attending one, I know you'll can relate.  If you are thinking of applying to one, I hope you find it useful.

    Hello and Welcome to Learning Life This Way Podcast.  I am your host, Shannon Tamez.  In this podcast, I will be sharing life lessons I've learned along the way.  I will be discussing what I learned from them, what I loved about them, and how I grew from them.  


    Some of us may be in similar situations in life, but we've taken many different roads to get there.  I want this podcast to serve as a friend to know you are not along.  As well as give you different perspectives.

    Somehow along the way, I became very self aware of how I see the world and how I want to be seen.  I hope to take you along with me on this adventure.

    If life is hitting you with a curveball and you would like some insight, I would love to hear from you.  Please email your questions to [email protected] or find me on IG @beingshannondora.  Please don't forget to rate and subscribe to the show
