Summary

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.
