Believe in the Good with Haley Dillon

• 23. Shannon Evans from HGTV’s Renovation Resort Showdown: BTS of Reality TV, Manifesting Big Dreams While Taking Bold Action, The Power of a Strong Circle, & MORE

  This week’s episode is such a fun one—I'm joined by the inspiring and hilarious Shannon Evans, who you may recognize from HGTV’s Renovation Resort Showdown (and her iconic pink jumpsuit moment 👀). But there’s so much more to her story than what you see on TV. We talked all about Shannon’s journey from working as a page at NBC to building a life filled with creativity, motherhood, and major manifestation wins. She opened up about what it's like to navigate male-dominated spaces as a woman in the renovation world, how she stays grounded while dreaming big, and the intentional way she’s teaching her kids to visualize success and believe in themselves. Shannon’s energy is contagious, and her wisdom is both practical and powerful. We also talked about grief, what it’s like filming emotional moments on camera, and the deep value of supportive friendships and small circles that lift you up. In this episode, we cover: 🎥 What it’s really like behind the scenes of an HGTV renovation competition ✨ Shannon’s favorite manifestation tools & how she makes them work 💪 Navigating career shifts, motherhood, and chasing big dreams 👷‍♀️ Being a woman in construction & breaking through gender norms 🛠️ Her love for DIY, design, and turning creative passion into purpose 🩷 And yes—the pink jumpsuit story gets its moment! This conversation is full of heart, humor, and real talk about what it takes to believe in the good—in yourself, your vision, and the life you’re building.   Be sure to stay connected with us!

• 22. My Therapist Zoi: Therapy Isn’t Just for Crisis—It’s a Tool for Everyday Life | Honest Conversations on Marriage, Mom Guilt, Boundaries, Forgiveness, Being Single, & MORE

  This episode is really special to me. I invited my therapist, Zoi from Agape Christian Counseling, to join me on the podcast because I’ve experienced firsthand just how life-giving therapy can be—and I want you to hear from the woman who’s helped me through so much. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or you’re just starting to get curious, this conversation is full of encouragement, practical wisdom, and powerful reminders that you’re not meant to do it all on your own. Zoi and I talk about so much—overcoming the stigma around therapy, finding the right therapist, and navigating real-life stuff like marriage challenges, dating, mom guilt, emotional health, and what it looks like to heal from the inside out. She shares her heart and her expertise, from how attachment styles play out in our relationships to what EMDR therapy is and why it can be such a helpful tool for processing trauma. Zoi also opens up about her own journey and how she views therapy as a sacred space for growth, healing, and hope. If you’ve ever felt like therapy might be for “other people,” I hope this episode gently changes that. There’s so much goodness here. In this episode, we talk about: 💬 Why therapy is not just for crisis moments 🧠 EMDR, attachment styles & healing childhood wounds 💞 Tools for marriage, dating, and finding lasting connection 👩‍👧 Navigating mom guilt and parenting pressures 🧭 How to find the right therapist for you 💡 Practical tips for forgiveness, self-care, and healthy boundaries If your heart has been heavy or you’ve been craving more peace in your day-to-day life, I think this conversation will meet you right where you are.   Be sure to stay connected with us!
