Jesi Stracham is the founder of Wheel With Me Foundation and co-developer of the Wheel With Me Adapt Fit app, designed to support the independence and fitness of wheelchair users. After a motorcycle accident in 2015 resulted in a spinal cord injury, Jesi turned her experience into a platform for motivation and empowerment, and set on a mission to inspire the world to live life to its fullest. She also co-owns Freedom Longevity & Wellness LKN in Lake Norman, North Carolina.

Today, Jesse Stracham shares her journey from a tumultuous childhood to becoming a beacon of resilience and empowerment. Despite not being a dad, Jesse's story resonates deeply with themes of accountability, personal growth, and the relentless pursuit of one's best self. She opens up about growing up in a family involved in the trucking industry and the lack of guidance that led her to make precarious choices as a teenager. Her life took a dramatic turn when she was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident, forcing her to confront her vulnerabilities and redefine her sense of self.

Jesse's candid recounting of her struggles with physical limitations, mental health, and the journey to regain her independence is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. She discusses her transformation through fitness and nutrition, highlighting the power of proper diet and exercise in managing her condition. Her involvement with Adaptive CrossFit, the impact of the 75 Hard program, and her advocacy for better nutritional awareness underscore her insights into the importance of mental resilience, personal accountability, and the role of faith in her recovery.
