Shannon Snapp, Independence

Back in July 2015, Odyssey Storytelling celebrated Independence Day with the Independence show, and that show certainly wouldn't have been complete without Shannon Snapp's tale of becoming an independent woman. Or, in her words, at least coming close. From Shannon's Odyssey bio: Shannon Snapp is an independent woman not necessarily by choice. Forced out of codependency and into full-on self-sufficiency and love, she is now truly capable of giving herself everything she needs. She was toughed up by her working-class upbringing in rural Kansas, made smarter and fancier by her doctorate and time with no non-sense Bostonians, and brought back into balance by the Old Pueblo. She's learned to love like mad and let it all go. And as fate would have it, she's about to set sail again, no longer kicking, screaming, or clinging but head held high (and maybe still a tear in her eye). This episode was performed and recorded in front of a live audience at The Screening Room in Tucson, AZ, on July 9th, 2015, and was curated by Drew Cronyn.
