All The Wiser

36. Actor Obi Ndefo keeps growing after losing his legs in a hit and run


Listen Later

Obi Ndefo was living the life of a successful actor in Los Angeles, developing a television series by day and teaching yoga at night, when during an evening grocery store visit, a drunk driver veered across traffic and slammed into Obi's body, leaving both his legs severed above the knee. His path to healing involved a laser focus on healthy eating and exercise; his physical improvement astounding doctors and nurses at every turn. In this raw and vulnerable conversation, Obi explains the mental toll of extreme change, weaving his hopeful optimism with the honest reality of the nature of suffering.
