Doctors Told His Parents to Abort Him—Now He Inspires Millions

Doctors Told His Parents to Abort Him—Now He Inspires Millions

Nick Santonastasso’s life defies every expectation. Born with a rare condition that left him with no legs and only one arm, doctors gave him a 30% chance of survival—and advised his parents not to have him. But his mother chose love over fear. In this vulnerable and powerful conversation, Nick opens up about growing up feeling inferior, how personal development saved him from a suicide attempt at 21, and why he left behind everything he built in America to start over in Dubai. With raw honesty, he shares his struggles with self-worth, relationships, and the “woman wound” that followed him for years—even after achieving success and fame. This episode will shake your perspective on purpose, healing, and what it means to show up fully—especially when the world never expected you to.
