On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Shannon Murphy — co-host of iHeartRadio's Mojo in the Morning show, wife, mama, radio personality, and all-around powerhouse woman!
This episode is a full-circle moment for me because I first met Shannon years ago — when I was a sophomore in college — backstage at a Switchfoot concert. We instantly connected over being from Michigan (she grew up on Grosse Ile, and my grandparents lived there!) and our shared love of music and media. At the time, Shannon was just a few years into her radio career, and I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. And here we are - many years later - with so many stories to tell!
Since then, I've followed Shannon's career and admired her journey — from Indianapolis to Atlanta, and then back home to Michigan, where she continues to light up the airwaves on Mojo in the Morning. She's built an incredible, long-lasting career in radio and continues to inspire so many people with her authenticity, kindness, and heart for others.
Beyond the mic, Shannon dedicates so much of her time and energy to giving back — supporting amazing causes like the New Day Foundation, which helps families facing cancer, and Tim Tebow's Night to Shine, which celebrates people with special needs. And so much more! (And by the way, Shannon will be performing at New Day's Celebrity Lip Sync Battle next week — so be sure to grab your tickets today!)
In this episode, you'll hear:
✨ Shannon's story growing up and how she stumbled into radio;
✨ What it's really like to balance life, motherhood, and a public career;
✨ How she stays grounded, authentic, and true to herself amid life's ups and downs;
✨ Her favorite memories from her career (including that unforgettable moment on Regis and Kelly!);
✨ The causes and community work closest to her heart;
✨ And so much more!
💫 Shannon is a 1 Girl Revolution — using her voice, her story, and her platform to do good and inspire others. We are so excited to share this inspiring and powerful episode with you!
Note: In this episode, we talk about Gina Sphen, co-founder of The New Day Foundation. You can listen to her episode (#229) of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast here.
