The Devil I Loved: My Descent into Darkness + Spontaneous Road Trips

In this raw and honest episode of Travel Time Stories with Shannon, I share the beginning of my story with David — the man I’ve long called “the devil.” What started as charm and protection quickly became control, abuse, and the kind of toxic love that nearly destroyed me. This is the beginning of my descent into darkness, and I tell it exactly as I lived it — the good, the bad, and the ugly.But life, like travel, always has layers. Alongside the shadows, I also bring you lighthearted memories of spontaneous road trips I’ve taken with Ann — from exploring the historic Bridges of Madison County in Iowa to an unforgettable (and disappointing) adventure in Hannibal, Missouri, the birthplace of Mark Twain.Plus, I’ll share a simple but powerful travel tip you can use on every trip to make your travels cleaner and more comfortable.This episode blends personal healing with travel storytelling — because life and travel are both about the memories we make, the lessons we learn, and the connections we carry forward.👉 If this resonates with you, subscribe, share this episode, and join me each Monday for new stories of travel, life, and transformation.#podcast #travelpodcast #traveltimestorieswithshannon #healingjourney #tunein #abusesurvivors #paranormal #spiritual #twistedlovestory #lovestory #devil #bridgesofmadisoncounty #iowa #missouri #marktwain #johnwaynefans https://www.traveltimestories.com/
