Shawn Johnson and her husband Andrew East have written a new book, The Courage to Commit, which explores the power of commitment in relationships, careers, and personal growth.
What inspired the book?
The couple was inspired to write the book after being asked to share their story, but they wanted to write something meaningful and purposeful instead of a fluffy book about their marriage.
How do they stay strong?
Shawn Johnson says that their path to happiness is all about staying focused and committed, which has brought them success in their athletic careers, marriage, and businesses.
Shawn Johnson and Andrew East got married in 2016 and have three kids together, daughter Drew, 6, and sons Jett, 4, and Bear, 2.
What challenges have they faced?
The couple has endured several painful miscarriages, including their first pregnancy, and Shawn Johnson suffered from postpartum depression after Bear was born.
Shawn Johnson says that the miscarriages were an emotional rollercoaster and that she struggled with postpartum depression after her third child.
What do they hope readers take away?
The couple hopes that readers will find joy and fulfillment by embracing dedication and commitment, rather than getting caught up in endless choices.
Andrew East says that when you have too many choices, you often end up not choosing anything at all, and that commitment can bring ultimate joy.
Shawn Johnson and Andrew East's book, The Courage to Commit, is now available and offers advice for a generation struggling with overwhelming options.
The couple's journey is an inspiration to many, and their book provides a unique perspective on the importance of commitment in all aspects of life.
On their farm in Nashville, the couple is enjoying every minute of motherhood and parenthood, and they are grateful for the love and support they have for each other.
