Mo Isom Aiken, former LSU goalie, New York Times Best-Selling Author, public speaker, and devoted Christian, unfolds her gripping journey in Part I of this interview on the Shadows Podcast. Starting with her Marietta, Georgia upbringing, Mo reflects on discovering her love for soccer and the shift from healthy ambition to an unhealthy pursuit of perfection.

Mo opens up about her father's tragic suicide at nineteen, navigating through pain, anger, and suicidal thoughts. Sharing a harrowing car wreck experience, she hangs upside down, bloodied, finding solace in God's love. Exploring her recovery and the NCAA loophole that led her to try out for the LSU football team, Mo delves into balancing her spiritual, emotional, physical, and social life on the road with her family. She discusses her best-selling book, Sex, Jesus, and the Conversations The Church Forgot, and tackles the challenging parent-child conversations. Lastly, Mo sheds light on the impactful work of BOLDLIFE Ministry.
