Description

Jessica Hoff’s story is one of the most powerful transformations ever shared on Rise Above.

Growing up in a small Minnesota town with an alcoholic father, Jessica swore she’d never become him. But one blackout in college sent her spiraling into years of binge drinking, cocaine, Xanax, opiates, and a near-fatal battle with breast cancer.


Her life completely unraveled—addiction, a failing marriage, losing custody, and waking up in rehab with no memory of getting there.


But nothing compares to the day she flew home to make amends… and found her father dead on the floor.


What happened next changed her life forever.


In this raw, emotional, and deeply spiritual interview, Jessica reveals:




  • Her first blackout that launched a decade of chaos




  • How cancer, pain pills, Xanax, and coke took over her life




  • The brutal detox she barely survived




  • The divine intervention that got her into treatment




  • Finding her dad dead—and the God moment that kept her sober




  • Rebuilding her life, motherhood, spiritual connection & purpose




  • Her work as a healer helping others through sound, energy, and meditation




Jessica is now over 7 years sober, a mother, healer, and walking example of what recovery can look like when you surrender and do the work.
