Shannon Donohoe-Simpson
I’m Shannon Donohoe-Simpson. Over the years, I’ve been an educator, a community creator, a storyteller. But the title that feels closest to my soul is this: Joybringer.
Not because I’m always joyful.
But because I choose joy—especially in the uncertain, in-between places where life feels most tender.
I’ve walked through illness, heartbreak, and reinvention.
I’ve weathered separation, grief, the stretching complexity of parenting children who needed more love than I sometimes knew how to give.
I’ve returned to myself again and again.
And still—I rise.
For years, I’ve been gathering people. Around tables, on dance floors, inside retreat spaces and circles where truth lives and laughter coexists with tears. Whether it’s a Toolbox Tuesday episode, a community celebration, or a late-night kitchen conversation—I live to spark connection, raise the energy in the room, and remind people of the light they’ve forgotten they carry.
