Tracie Lechman: From Tragedy to Triumph

I am a firm believer that you should not be defined by your worst act in life.
Imagine being caught in the aftermath of a horrific crime, struggling with addiction, and entangled in the criminal justice system. This is where Tracie Lechman's journey begins. In this gripping episode of 'Back from Broken', Tracie opens up about her troubled past, starting with her high school boyfriend's heinous act that claimed four innocent lives. The ripple effects of that night led Tracie down a dark path filled with trauma and addiction.
But this isn't just a story of despair; it's one of hope and redemption. Host Vic Vela guides listeners through Tracie's transformative journey, from the lowest points of her life to finding purpose and healing. She candidly shares how starting a family became a beacon of hope, helping her rebuild and redefine her life. Tracie's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of recovery.
It's a raw, emotional, and ultimately uplifting tale that reminds us all that it's never too late to start over.
