Canaries in the Coal Mine
Welcome to Canaries in the Coal Mine—a podcast and YouTube channel for sensitive souls, truth-tellers, and cycle-breakers who see the fire before anyone else smells the smoke.
I’m Shannon—recovering party girl, trauma survivor, boundary-setter, and fellow feel-everything-er—and I’m here to help you stop gaslighting yourself, set sacred boundaries, and remember: your sensitivity is your superpower.
If you were raised around addiction, narcissism, codependency, or emotional neglect, you might feel like you're too much, too emotional, or just plain broken.
But here's the truth:
💛 You're not broken. You're not crazy. You're just the canary.
Through raw conversations, grounded tools, and gently rebellious truth-telling, we’ll explore healing from trauma, setting boundaries without guilt, reparenting ourselves, and rebuilding the nervous system—one deep breath at a time.
No toxic positivity. No bullshit. Just soul-level self-care, emotional wisdom, and some dry humor to get us through the hard stuff.
Whether you're just beginning to question your family patterns or knee-deep in breaking generational cycles—you belong here.
🎙️ New episodes every week.

What happens when you become the mirror in your family—and telling the truth makes you the problem?
Some families thrive on honesty. Others survive on denial. In this episode, we’ll explore what happens when awareness feels like exile, why guilt disguises itself as loyalty, and how telling the truth costs you belonging before it gives you peace.
