Comedy as a Healing Journey with Craig Shoemaker

The Heart Of Show Business With Alexia Melocchi

When life throws you curveballs, sometimes all you can do is laugh—as I chat with comedian, producer, writer Craig Shoemaker, who pivoted from childhood adversity to a celebrated career in comedy.
Now also a best selling author and an in -demand motivational speaker, Craig spills the beans on using humor as a lifeline and the secret to keeping it real in an industry that's anything but. From his early days of using laughter to connect with others, he discusses his coaching program "Winning with Humor" as well as his "Still Standing Up" podcast show. Craig's candid revelations on personal and professional challenges, including a dramatic encounter that could've changed the course of his life, demonstrate the potency of storytelling and the cathartic release only a good chuckle can provide.
Feel like you're stuck on repeat with the usual "good" and "fine" responses? Let's shake things up! In our lively discussion, we unveil the transformative power of tweaking your daily language—think 'fantastic' over 'good'—to shift your perspective.
Finally, Craig and I dissect the art of radical acceptance, emphasizing how embracing people as they are can mend and deepen relationships. Through laughter, we tackle the tough stuff—forgiveness, accountability, and the social faux pas of admitting when you're wrong. So, buckle up for an enlightening ride with one of entertainment's most insightful jesters, because this episode is more than just fun—it's a journey of healing and discovery that you won't want to miss.
