The Big Announcement with Shannon
Shannon is back at the microphone after her annual August break. She always returns to the show with fresh energy, excitement, and motivation; this year is extra special.
Podcast Notes
The Big News
This will be the final season of Martinis and Your Money, with the last new episode being released in October 2024. The first episode aired in October 2014, and ending it 10 years later feels right in a special, cosmic way.
Shannon first started this show on a dare, and it has grown more than she ever imagined. When she started, she was blogging and only met with a few clients. That was 9 years and 400 episodes ago, and so much has changed since then.
It will be hard to let go of this show, but we have a year to celebrate and enjoy.

Gratitude Beyond Words
There are no words that can adequately explain how thankful Shannon is for each and every single listener. Those who have been here since the beginning and everyone who has joined along the way. Every single message, email, and DM meant the whole world to Shannon and uplifted her for the last nine years.
This show has brought so much joy into Shannon's life, and she loves the opportunity to learn something new every week. Shannon has always been open and honest here, sharing highlights, challenges, and lessons she's learned along the way.
