Knoxville to Knoxville! Comedian, actress, and author Leanne Morgan joins Shanna to talk about dreams that take the long way ‘round. Leanne shares how a jewelry-party side gig turned into living-room “comedy clubs,” why a traditional club grind didn’t fit while raising three kids, and the early-50s pivot that changed everything—investing in herself, going viral, and selling out a 150-city tour. She opens up about mom-guilt, saying no, setting boundaries with a 25-person team, and the tender stuff she misses about her “old life” (cooking at home, grocery runs, grandbabies). Plus: the joke she almost didn’t tell that became a breakout favorite, the best advice she ever got (“work clean”), and what she’d say to her younger self: you weren’t crazy—buckle up. Permission, perspective, and a reminder you’ve got time.

After founding Southern Weddings and Cultivate What Matters—and creating the beloved PowerSheets®—Lara Casey Isaacson found herself at two unexpected crossroads. In this episode, Lara opens up about what it looked like to walk away from the businesses she built, the restlessness that signaled it was time, and how faith, chronic illness, and family shaped her decision-making.

We talk about what it means to steward a season well, the quiet bravery of closing a chapter before the next one is clear, and how redefining success starts with letting go. If you’ve ever felt pulled in a new direction—or wondered whether it’s time to step away from something good—this conversation will feel like a gentle permission slip.
