    More about Jesi:

    Jesi Stracham is a wheelchair-using athlete on a mission to inspire the world to live life to its fullest.  In January 2015,  Jesi was the passenger on a motorcycle when it collided with a car. She woke up a week later in an intensive care unit without the use of her legs secondary to a spinal cord injury. Instead of accepting disability as her reality,  In the face of adversity, she has used her disability as a platform to reach the world. In the years since her injury, Jesi has been able to achieve more than she had previously dreamed possible. To name just a few accomplishments, she has developed the first fitness application created by wheelchair users for wheelchair users and founded a non-profit called Wheel With Me Foundation that aims to serve the independence of wheelchair users.

    Jesi believes the importance of working to achieve personal excellence is crucial to anyone’s success, happiness, and mental well being, regardless of their ability. With the help of various influences, Jesi has developed a system that has allowed her to live a life she previously didn’t believe was possible. Jesi’s is “life-support” coach who helps individuals reach their dreams and fullest potential. Her book Power In The Roll will be available later this year.

    More about Hellen:

    Hellen Tattiane Nitschke is a trailblazing entrepreneur hailing from Brazil. She came to this country with no English and after giving herself a year only to become fluent, she took her career with industry giants such as Adidas, Billabong, Nordstrom, and Target, she transitioned into her own venture-a swimwear line only to be met with substantial marketing hurdles.

    In the face of these challenges, Hellen was confronted with a pricey $15,000 coaching program. Seemingly out of reach, it stirred a moment of self-doubt until a divine message nudged her: "It's your time! Break the scarcity in your life."

    Having been raised in Brazil where securing jobs was prioritized over personal growth, this was a pivotal realization for Hellen. She understood that the power to qualify oneself lies within and she shouldn't wait for external validation.

    Now, Hellen stands as an empowering coach, guiding women through their entrepreneurial dreams. She encourages others to assert their worth, readiness. and ability to conquer challenges. Her mantra: "Qualify yourself! Proclaim 'I am ready!”
