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.
