Steve Cuss began his journey as a trauma and hospice chaplain, where he learned the importance of self-awareness in managing emotions to support others effectively. Introduced to Family Systems Theory, he found it transformative for understanding anxiety patterns in individuals and groups, which he integrated with his faith. This foundation carried into his role as a lead pastor, where he developed intentional practices to manage personal and group anxiety, addressing recurring patterns and the “gospel of anxiety” that fosters feelings of inadequacy. His work deepened through teaching, coaching, and writing, including his book *Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs* (2019) and the upcoming *The Expectation Gap* (2024). Over two decades, Steve has helped tens of thousands in 21 countries achieve emotional and spiritual health through practical tools and workshops. With a Masters of Divinity and extensive experience, he offers a transformative path for overcoming anxiety dynamics. Originally from Perth, Australia, Steve now resides in the U.S. with his family and enjoys fishing, music, and time with loved ones.
