Episode gold medals & motherhood | shawn johnson east

0:00 55:48

Shawn Johnson East joins Avery for one of the most open, honest, and fun conversations yet. The Olympic gold medalist opens up about growing up in Des Moines with a coach who changed everything, what it really felt like to walk into the Beijing Olympics at 16, and the identity crisis that followed retiring from the sport she built her whole life around. Shawn gets real about her mental health journey, how she ghosted her now-husband Andrew for nine months before moving her whole life to Nashville for him, and what it's actually like raising three wild kids while running a business. Plus, she won Special Forces, she wrote a book, and she has thoughts on Kylie Jenner's iced coffee. You're going to love her. Pre-order link: https://thecouragetocommit.com/
