“I still don’t fully understand it, but I’ve always been curious about it,” Cannon admitted. “I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, and even as a kid, it was dyslexia. I’ve always known I’m neurodivergent.”
Cannon views his diagnosis as a chance for growth. “There are so many labels out there, but embracing it and saying, ‘I’m healing, I need help,’ has been empowering,” he said. He emphasized his commitment to therapy and mental health advocacy, aiming to set an example for others while continuing his own healing process.
The revelation came earlier this month on his Counsel Culture podcast, where he confirmed his diagnosis with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant. “I’ve taken the power away from the term narcissism because I’ve researched it and understand it,” Cannon explained. “Call me whatever you want; it doesn’t bother me now.”
Cannon, a father of 12, also shared how he navigates the holidays with his large family. Thanksgiving is a whirlwind of visits, as he juggles multiple homes. “I’m going to be full by the end of the day. Every house has something special, from sweet potato pie to fried turkey,” he said with a laugh.
Looking ahead to December, Cannon plans to create snowy memories with his children. “We’ll be everywhere—from Aspen to Santa’s Village, maybe Big Bear. All the kids want to go to the snow,” he shared.
Through his openness about mental health and his dedication to family, Cannon continues to show resilience and a desire for personal growth.
