Shawn Johnson East Opens Up About Olympic Pressure, Imposter Syndrome, and Angel City Investment

DescriptionOlympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East joins Becky Sauerbrunn for a candid conversation about the pressure of competing on the world's biggest stage, the realities of parenting after elite sports, and why commitment remains one of the most important—and overlooked—ingredients for success. Shawn reflects on winning four Olympic medals in Beijing, navigating expectations as a teenage superstar, and learning to find pride in her own accomplishments regardless of outside opinions. She also discusses her investment in Angel City FC, the growth of women's sports, motherhood, imposter syndrome, and the lessons that shaped her new book, The Courage to Commit. Plus, Shawn and Becky dive into perfectionism, mastery, marriage, content creation, and the beauty of finding joy in the "boring" parts of life.
