The HoneyDew with Ryan Sickler

Shane Todd has a Punch Loving Father

<div>My HoneyDew this week is comedian Craig Shoemaker! Be sure to check out his newest book, Laffirmations: A 40-Day Cleanse. Craig joins me to Highlight the Lowlights of a life shaped by chaos, cults, comedy, and complicated family ties. We get into what it was like growing up with a scam-artist father who ran his own cult, the terrifying week-long kidnapping Craig survived at just 13 years old, and the emotional wreckage he's faced more recently after his wife left him and abducted their kids to join a cult of her own. With sharp wit, a survivor’s resilience, and a passion for mentorship, Craig shares what it truly means to find your voice when life keeps trying to silence it.
