From Paralyzed to Walking: The Power of Forgiveness with Jaikishaan Sharma

Ep. 215 - Kimberly sits down with author, speaker, and mind-set coach Jaikishaan Sharma. After losing his job, buying a home, and welcoming a newborn daughter, Jackishan suffered a life-altering accident when he was hit by a speeding car as a pedestrian. Doctors gave him just a 5% chance of ever walking again. Paralyzed from the waist down, Jackishan plunged into financial hardship, severe depression, and suicidal ideation. However, a single transformative moment with his young daughter sparked a inner shift. Through intense mindset work, journaling, formal and informal mindfulness, water therapy, and sheer determination, Jackishan went from paralyzed in a wheelchair to standing back up on his feet. Today, he shares his roadmap to help others break through physical and emotional trauma.
