In this conversation, Shawn and her parents share what her childhood was really like, the parenting style that shaped her competitive drive, the sacrifices her family made, and what it felt like growing up under pressure. We also talk about how that's affected our current parenting style, what they would have changed if they could, and if they had any regrets with her early on career.
