S1E17 | Darius Jones- Naval veteran learning to thrive after a major motorcycle accident

Darius Jones is a former US Navy logistics specialist who was used to an active lifestyle but everything changed after an unfortunate motorcycle accident. The accident left his lower body paralyzed making him unable to walk. Realizing how serious his injury was, he started getting depressed but the support of his family and his faith in God gave him the push to recover.

Darius' road to recovery involved getting into sports, getting fit, and getting into a new tribe that can provide emotional support.

Darius is from Memphis, Tennessee and he is now an athlete who plays wheelchair basketball and trains in CrossFit. On this episode, we talked about these topics:

  • Challenges of having a kid while recovering with his injury
  • What Darius felt when he knew he's paralyzed
  • How faith in God has given him the strength to face challenges
  • How many surgeries he underwent through recovery
  • Dealing with depression and seeing a psychiatrist
