Description

In this special episode, we’re joined by professional basketball player and mental health advocate Kofi Josephs. 

Kofi’s story takes us far beyond the game - from the pressure of performing at the highest level, to the loneliness that can come with chasing a dream across continents. 

He opens up about loss, identity, and what it really takes to stay when walking away would be easier.

This is an honest, powerful conversation about resilience, purpose, and learning how to find yourself in the moments that test you most.

Highlights:

(04:12) When chasing your dream starts to feel lonely

(11:36) The thin line between fear and excitement

(35:08) What depression really feels like from the inside

(41:20) The story behind Why Not I

(48:03) Learning to dance in the rain
