- Jesi Stracham - Wheelchair Athlete and Inspiring Meditator
Welcome to the Veteran's PATH podcast. Veterans PATH is a nonprofit introducing veterans to the life changing and life saving practices of meditation and mindfulness. I'm your host, Jon Macaskill - a Navy SEAL Commander turned mindfulness teacher. Check out https://www.veteranspath.org or at any of the social media links below to find out more! Today I’m honored to have as my guest, Jesi Stracham (“Strawham”), a wheelchair athlete on a mission to inspire the world to live life to its fullest by sharing my story. Jesi is currently training to compete in the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Wheelchair Curling. 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, she rejected the prognosis that she would be wheelchair dependent for the rest of her life. In the face of adversity, she is recovering from her disability and using it as a platform to reach the world. In the five years since her injury, she has been able to achieve more than she previously dreamed possible. To name just a few accomplishments, she has qualified for the US Paralympic Curling Developmental Team and founded a non-profit called Wheel With Me Foundation that aims to serve persons with spinal cord injuries. Over the past several years, Jesi has generated a significant following among both the spinal cord injury and able-bodied community. She says her goal is simple: show the world there is opportunity in their obstacles. She helps people achieve their dreams through the importance of goal setting. We’re going to learn a lot more about Jesi, her accident and the recovery, her use of meditation in the healing process, her training for the Paralympics, and her nonprofit - that’s all here in today’s episode of the Veteran’s PATH podcast.
