Things have gone full circle for Shannon Storms Beador as she preps for another The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion ahead of the Season 19 sit-down.
How to Watch
The zen-seeking mother of three just took things back to where it all began on Season 19 by revisiting her familiar haunt, The Golden Door, a health and wellness spa where Shannon invited the cast in the season premiere. Before entering the (literal) golden doors of the jaw-dropping resort and wellness center, she spoke directly to her Instagram Story viewers with the caption, “Getting reunion ready.”
Said Shannon, “I am about to walk through the doors of one of my very favorite places,” taking audiences to an outdoor footbridge leading into the sanctuary.
Later, the OC Housewife shared another story, dressed in a sporty, black, and form-fitting getup as she hit the on-site gym. Three oncoming-fist emojis may have said all there was to say for Shannon and the lead-up to the Andy Cohen-hosted event.

In the July 10 episode, Shanon brought Gina Kirschenheiter, Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Emily Simpson, Katie Ginella, and Jennifer Pedranti for a “much-needed” zen retreat. As Shannon told producers, “There’s something magical about the energy in this place. It’s the intentions you set when you walk through the doors, and you can’t put a price on that.”
Albeit, the $13,000 price tag for an eight-day, all-inclusive stay. Continued Shannon, “But, I come out a better person.”
The place is said to attract many an A-lister — plus Shannon’s grandmother — and became the center for some well-earned attempts at inner peace for the Housewives. Taiko drumming, bamboo forests, and tai chi were just some of the women’s activities as they set their intentions for the RHOC season.

As Katie told E! News, “I think maybe there’s a possibility of a fresh start after the reunion. That’s what everybody hopes, right? This show is about conflict resolution, and I think I’m owed some apologies. I’ve given enough out.”
Although Katie felt “part confident and part extremely nervous” about the reunion, she knew what she wanted from the future get-together. As she continued in her interview with the outlet, “I’m hoping that they can recognize that they’ve done things wrong, because I have literally apologized over and over and over and owned the things I needed to. And, if they expect that of me, I need to expect it in return.”
As for Shannon, the reunion may soon set the stage for her and Tamra to hash out their ongoing issues. In Season 19, Episode 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County After Show, Shannon confessed, “I’m in a place right now where I think I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and she has not been a part of my life. There was a lot of walking on eggshells in our friendship.”
