In this episode of The Shannon McCabe Show, I’m sharing a story that’s still fresh in my legs and in my heart—my recent hike up Camelback Mountain in Phoenix. 🥵Spoiler: it was hard. Like, really hard. And somewhere between the burning quads and the “what was I thinking?” thoughts, I realized just how much the climb reminded me of my sobriety journey.

I talk about: ⛰️ Pushing through when it would’ve been easier to quit 🧠 The mental game of doing something hard when no one else can do it for you 👀 Letting go of what others might be thinking (because most people are focused on their own climb) 💛 And how sometimes, all you can do is take the next step—and that’s enough

This episode isn’t just about hiking or sobriety—it’s about showing up for yourself when life feels uphill, trusting your strength, and learning to love the climb.

Ever faced something so overwhelming that it felt impossible to get through? In this episode, I’m getting real about two of the biggest challenges in my life—becoming a mom to my incredible daughter, Dylan, who has Down syndrome and autism, and my journey to sobriety.

I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered truth about what it was like to navigate the fear, uncertainty, and pressure in both of these life-changing experiences. From the moment Dylan was born to the struggle of quitting drinking, I’ve learned that sometimes the hardest things we go through are also the ones that transform us the most.

If you’ve ever felt like you were facing the impossible, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it really means to take action, face fear head-on, and find strength in the moments we least expect.
