In this special episode of The Check In, Dwyane Wade sits down with his mother, Jolinda Wade, for an emotional and powerful conversation about her life, addiction, redemption, and her memoir Conquering Me.
Jolinda opens up about her childhood struggles with self-esteem, her descent into heroin and alcohol addiction, and the homelessness that followed. She shares the defining moment on October 14 2001, her “awakening” when faith led her to surrender and begin her journey to recovery.
Now 71, Jolinda reflects on rebuilding her life, moving to California for a fresh start, embracing her role as a proud grandmother, and learning to truly love herself. Her message is clear: you can rewind, you can reset, and you can rebuild.
