Years ago, my friend Shawn’s entire world blew up—literally. A gas leak caused his house to explode, and in a single moment, life as he knew it was gone. But from the ashes came a story of radical healing, faith, and purpose.

Years ago, my friend Shawn Maguire’s entire world blew up—literally. A gas leak caused his house to explode, and in a single moment, life as he knew it was gone. But from the ashes came a story of radical healing, faith, and purpose.

Shawn Maguire is now one of Oklahoma’s most trusted therapists and the founder of New Vision Counseling & Consulting. He leads a team that walks with individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, trauma, marriage struggles, and leadership stress—with deep compassion and real results.

In this conversation, Shawn reminded me that true leadership isn’t about dominance or detachment—it’s about living and leading from the heart. We talk about how pain becomes purpose, how healing starts with honesty, and why emotional health is non-negotiable for the life you actually want.
