Welcome to Happy Hour at the ranch– where we are gettin’ shit done! This is where our conversations are as raw and unstructured as your conversations over a drink at your favorite bar or a cup of joe at your favorite cafe. On our podcast we talk about life on the ranch, business, world happenings- which are also the things that buzz around a bar during happy hour. Join myself and my husband Nathan as we chat about all things intended to help each other connect, grow and thrive.

Hey all!  Shannon here for a quick minute to give you an update to the show.  Things have changed a lot around here, and I sure do appreciate y'all sticking around.   I write my life in pencil and pride myself for making changes as I am intuitively guided to.  And I am honoring that in the re-branding and direction of the show.

I hope you will join on the journey!

Welcome to this episode of the Happy Hour podcast! In this episode, I was interviewed by Nick Purslow from Glampitect, about my retreat ranch in Marble Falls, Texas, which offers a unique blend of glamping and transformative retreats. There are up to 30 glamping units on my ranch, ranging from old trailers to yurts. Rates change with the seasons because the property caters to group bookings and has many amenities, such as dipping pools, a wood-burning sauna, and horse activities. Women's wellness, yoga, wine experiences, and more are all part of retreats. Although the ranch is a great place to relax and enjoy nature, hosting weddings and other special events can be hard. And I myself have learned a lot from these experiences.
