In this episode, Shawn talks about: Why difficult circumstances do not have to define your entire identityHow purpose can help you keep moving through hard seasonsWhy helping others can give meaning to your own struggleThe danger of trying to solve the entire “marathon” at onceWhy discipline can look like taking one small step, then anotherHow to focus on what is still possible instead of only what has been lostKey takeaway:You do not have to know how the entire story ends. You just need to know the next step. Question to sit with:What are you facing right now that feels too big because you are looking at the entire marathon instead of the next step? Raw thoughts.

    The Strongest People Aren’t Always Okay:Terry Bradshaw

    Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls and became one of the most recognizable personalities in football, yet behind the public image he was dealing with battles most people never saw. In this episode, Shawn talks about: Why success does not eliminate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or private battlesThe difference between toughness and silenceWhy asking for help can require more strength than pretending everything is okayThe cost of constantly performing “I’m good”How honesty and vulnerability can give other people permission to speak upWhy determination is not always about grinding harderThe importance of being honest with yourself before you can be honest with the people around you Edit---Shawn-Take-08Shawn also gets personal about his own tendency to keep moving, producing, and working while becoming more closed off internally, and why that is something he is actively trying to change. Edit---Shawn-Take-08 Key takeaway:Some of the strongest people you know are carrying things you know nothing about. Strength does not always mean holding it together. Sometimes it means finally telling the truth. Question to sit with:How much energy are you spending convincing everybody you’re okay instead of actually taking care of yourself?
