Host Stanley T asked the singer how he was navigating “the transition that you have to make that when you go through something emotional or happy, you no longer can call that person… How do you deal with that?”

Shawn shared that while his breakup had changed his support system, it also allowed him to see how many people in his life he could rely on.

“I think for me, a lot of it was about giving myself a lot of grace, you know, and not being too hard on myself about the feelings and, and the kind of spikes of I’m good and spikes of I’m not good,” he said. “I think a big one for me was realizing that there’s so many people in my life that I can rely on. I don’t just have to put all of my, you know, hardship onto one person. And I think like that, that was a huge thing. It was, it was learning how to trust my friends again, learning how to trust my family, learning how to trust people around me in my life. Instead of like, just calling one person, I had now six people I could call and like balancing out that. And, in the same way it was a lot of deep breaths and, and telling myself like, ‘You’re good, man,’ you know? ‘You got this.’ Like it’s okay.”

He continued, “And really trying to be a stabilizing force for myself. I think that the mix of the two, like you, can’t just isolate yourself and be like, ‘I’m gonna deal with this on my own’ because that’ll eventually come back around. But at the same time, you gotta be able to like take a deep breath in those moments and be like, ‘I got you. We’re good.’”
