Diagnosed during his NFL career, Jonathan Scott shares how the experience initially left him feeling isolated, confused, and even ashamed, especially when team doctors couldn’t provide answers. It wasn’t until he discovered the National Psoriasis Foundation that he finally found both support and direction. Today, Jonathan is not just living with psoriasis, he’s advocating for others who are walking that same road.

In this heartfelt conversation, Jonathan opens up about navigating the stigma around skin conditions, especially in communities of color, and how his mindset shift from "suffering with” to “living with” psoriasis changed everything. He shares his passion for helping kids facing psoriatic disease, his work with the NPF across the country, and how he uses his platform to promote confidence, inclusion, and holistic health.

Janelle and Jonathan also discuss his book, The Winning Playbook, and how he brings lessons from football and life into every advocacy effort. For Jonathan, it’s all about stewardship; using his voice, time, and platform to leave the world better than he found it. Whether you live with a skin condition or just want to be a better advocate for yourself or others, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and community.
