Lexi Gibson’s story begins in foster care, shaped by violence, addiction, and the ache of never feeling wanted. By her teens, she was homeless, gang-involved, and surviving through chaos. Years later, in a dark field, stripped and left for dead, she thought her life was over — but that moment became her turning point.

From addiction and violence to recovery and motherhood, Lexi’s journey is one of survival, surrender, and rebuilding. She speaks openly about generational trauma, loss, and the fight to break free from patterns that destroy families. Her story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, recovery is possible — and motherhood can become the bridge to healing.
