Jesi Stracham: The Continuous Process of Rebuilding | The Hopeaholics PodcastJesi Stracham’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and unwavering faith. After a life-changing motorcycle accident left her paralyzed, she faced unimaginable challenges, from battling addiction to redefining her sense of purpose. In this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Jesi opens up about her reckless past, the moment she flatlined twice and had a vision of her late grandmother, and how she chose to fight for a meaningful life instead of succumbing to despair. She discusses the harsh realities of living with paralysis, her struggles with self-worth, and how adaptive sports helped her regain confidence and community. Through faith, fitness, and a relentless drive for personal growth, Jesi turned her tragedy into triumph. Now a competitive athlete, wellness advocate, and founder of the Wheel With Me Foundation, she’s on a mission to empower others to take control of their lives, no matter their circumstances. This is a story of perseverance, purpose, and proving that limitations are only what we make them.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecoverJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record’, exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholicsFollow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholicshttps://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch:https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.
