Building Superhumans: Olga Rudnieva on Turning Trauma into Triumph in Ukraine

If you're looking for some inspiration, listen in to this conversation with Superhumans CEO Olga Rudnieva. This one will hit your emotions. Having helped thousands of amputees from the war, the stories of resilience and strength of Ukraine's heroes are overwhelming. How do amputees recover both physically and mentally? What keeps them going? This show isn't about trauma - its about the dreams that keep people going after having suffered immensely. The dream to hold your child once again. To walk again. To simply be able to stand up to pee. That's how you go from losing a leg at the front to running a marathon. The dreams keep you alive. Understand why most of the amputees say losing their limb was the best thing that ever happened to them. Special thanks to Olga for taking the time from her critical work to speak with me and get the message out about Superhumans - Ukraine's heroes. Prosthetics and mental recovery from war are yet just additional areas where Ukraine will lead the Western world in the future.
