Welcome to Out of Focus with Shannon

I’m Shannon Stewart—runner-up on America’s Next Top Model, Miss Ohio USA, speaker, writer… and a woman who once tried to earn love through perfection and performance.

On the outside, my life looked polished. But underneath, I was striving, hiding, and silently unraveling.

Until grace met me in the wreckage.

This podcast is for the one who feels unworthy. The one who’s exhausted from trying to hold it all together. The one who wonders if God can still use a story that feels too messy.

We talk about the pressure to perform. The shame we carry. The hidden cracks behind the smile.

And we don’t stay stuck there—because even when life feels out of focus…

God brings clarity.

Come for the raw stories. Stay for the redemption.
