Ep. 40 My Dad's Dead: Cheers & Tears

Ep. 40 My Dad's Dead: Cheers & Tears

In this solo episode, Shannon opens up about her dad’s sudden death (because if you're going to go, why not a plane crash, right?). On the surface, her dad was a comedic two-time Olympian and Nike athlete. But what was he like behind closed doors? A full-blown OCD narcissist. Shannon shares how she was told to "stay strong" and didn’t shed a tear for years, and how his early exit might’ve saved her from growing up with a not-so-great dad. She reflects on how it’s shaped her relationships with men, and whether or not she’s got some good ol' daddy issues. Grab your favorite beverage, get cozy, and welcome to the Dead Dad Club. Cheers!
