SUMMARY

Each of us has a journey that led us to where we are today, and one of the most beautiful parts of human connection is understanding another person's story. In today's episode, comedian and podcaster Shannon Payton opens up about her journey through infertility, the ups and downs of adoption, and leaving a cult. Each of these experiences have shaped Shannon's experience as an ADHD parent. She now uses her platform to share humor with other parents, while advocating for mental health awareness. Please note, listener discretion is advised due to possible trigger warnings: infertility, failed adoption, and leaving a cult. 

MEET SHANNON PAYTON

Shannon Payton, affectionately known as Shanny Pants to her vast online community, thrives as a dynamic content creator and podcaster based in Rocklin, California. Balancing a successful career in real estate with her passion for humor, Shannon catapulted into the limelight in 2020 when her viral video about being stuck at home with her kids captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, propelling her into a whirlwind of internet stardom.

Harnessing the momentum of her online presence, Shannon established her digital footprint across various social media platforms under the handles @therealshannypants and ShannyPants, inviting followers into her world of laughter, trials, and triumphs. Recognizing the desire for deeper connection, she ventured into the realm of podcasting, birthing 'The ShannyPants Show,' now flourishing in its fourth season. Through candid interviews, Shannon fearlessly shares her journey—from navigating the complexities of growing up in a cult to confronting the hardships of infertility, culminating in her path to parenthood through foster care and adoption.
