Cultivating a Simply luxurious life

Living well is deeply personal—and it looks different for everyone. If you're curious about cultivating true contentment in your own life, today’s episode is sure to inspire.

We’re joined by Shannon Ables, the founder and author of The Simply Luxurious Life, an internationally beloved lifestyle blog that has been guiding readers toward intentional and fulfilling living since 2009. The heart of Shannon’s philosophy is simple yet profound:

"The simply luxurious life is attainable for anyone who values quality over quantity, sensibility over frivolity, personal style over trends, and fulfillment over conformity."

Shannon’s platform has led to the publication of three books, including her most recent, The Road to Le Papillon Lu Pap-pion: Daily Meditations on True Contentment, a #1 New Release and #1 Bestseller in France Travel. She is also the host of the popular podcast The Simple Sophisticate, where she explores intelligent living paired with signature style.

If you’re someone who values quality over quantity in every corner of life, this conversation is for you. Shannon brings warmth, wit, and thoughtful guidance to the everyday. Her ability to focus on what truly matters leaves you feeling both inspired and grounded — and yes, her cooking is absolutely divine.
