Sons & Daughters

Everyone is an offspring. Everyone has an origin, a past, a story. Before Shannon Spake was a successful sports media personality, she was the daughter of Don and Valerie. It’s the one label in which all other labels derive, and it’s the one label that will never change. Now in an introspective stage of life that has not always been easy, Shannon is on a quest to engage in deep, meaningful conversation with people whose achievements are well-documented but their origins are not. From these personal interactions Shannon hopes to discover the answer to a question that has long intrigued her – how do ordinary sons and daughters become extraordinary people?© Copyright 2026 Dirty Mo Media & SiriusXM

  • Kendall Toole: The Real Reason She Walked Away From Peloton
    Jun 17 2026

    Kendall Toole joins Shannon Spake on Sons and Daughters for a raw and emotional conversation about mental health, leaving Peloton, rebuilding her life, and finding her voice outside of the brand that made her a household name.

    Kendall opens up about her rise as one of Peloton’s most beloved instructors, the mental health rides that connected deeply with millions of riders, and what it felt like to motivate people through COVID while privately navigating her own anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. She also reflects on her childhood, obsessive thought patterns, therapy at a young age, her years at USC, and the dark moment in college when a call from her mother helped save her life.

    Now, after leaving Peloton and launching NKO Club, Kendall is building something on her own terms. She talks about the challenge of being known as “Kendall from Peloton,” what her one-year non-compete taught her, why she does not want to shrink herself anymore, and how she defines success now through impact, service, and helping others feel less alone.

    This is a conversation about darkness, resilience, reinvention, women finding their voice, and the power of choosing to live as your full self.

  • Shawn Johnson East: The “Perfect” Olympic Story Wasn’t Real
    Jun 10 2026

    Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East joins Shannon Spake on Sons and Daughters for a powerful conversation about perfection, pressure, commitment, motherhood, and life after the Olympic spotlight.

    Shawn opens up about becoming “America’s girl” during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the pressure of being seen as perfect, and the reality behind the polished Olympic stories fans saw on television. She reflects on growing up as a shy kid who found confidence inside the gymnastics gym, the coach who protected her joy, and the parents who fought to keep her childhood intact while she chased one of the biggest dreams in sports.

    Shawn also discusses her new book with husband Andrew East, The Courage to Commit, and explains why commitment is not just about pushing through, but also knowing when a chapter has served its purpose. She shares the January 1st conversation that changed the direction of her life, why she wanted to build a home she did not want to leave, and how becoming a mom has reshaped her view of success.

    From Olympic sacrifice and performance anxiety to failure, family, faith, balance, and learning when to walk away, this is Shawn Johnson East beyond the gold medal.
