Shownotes Transcript

Join me as I speak with Steve Young two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP and first ballot Hall of Famer about his journey with acute separation anxiety, which began in childhood and followed him into adulthood, where he was diagnosed at the age of 33. Steve talks about how his anxiety kept him from serving a mission and the challenges it created for him as he became a more visible professional athlete. Steve is committed to changing the stigma and shame that exists when cultural expectations in the Church aren’t met. Steve also talks candidly about how he stayed spiritually grounded, despite his fame and fortune. His story will inspire you!
