In this episode, we sit down with Shannon Ford Middleton, comedian, influencer, and soon-to-be mom, for a funny and brutally honest conversation about what it means to be seen. We talk about the emotional toll of online hate, navigating snark forums, the identity crisis of being “too much,” and why stand-up comedy feels more vulnerable than anything else. Shannon opens up about bombing in front of friends, and how pregnancy changed the way she speaks to herself. This one is hilarious, real, and deeply affirming for anyone learning to take up space.
