Why Jessie?

Jessie Tylre Williams is not a speaker who read about addiction in a textbook. She lived it. She fought her way out of it. And she has spent years standing in front of audiences — Veterans, First Responders, women in recovery, people who are barely holding on — and giving them something real to hold onto.

Her presentations are direct, honest, and leave audiences with more than inspiration. They leave with tools, perspective, and the kind of proof that only comes from someone who has actually been there.

What Peer Support Looks Like

Peer support is not therapy or clinical intervention. It is a structured space where individuals can be heard, understood, and supported by someone with lived experience who understands the complexity of recovery and emotional overwhelm.

Speaking Topics

Rising Above Hell — The Story Behind the Memoir

Jessie takes audiences through the real story behind her memoir — addiction, recovery, loss, rebuilding — with humour, honesty, and zero filters. Suitable for recovery events, women's conferences, community organizations, and mental health awareness events.

PTSD, Trauma, and the People We Don't Talk About Enough

Drawing on her national PTSD awareness tour for Veterans and First Responders, Jessie speaks to the realities of trauma and PTSD — what it looks like, what it costs, and what actually helps. Suitable for Veterans organizations, First Responder wellness events, and mental health conferences.

Sobriety Is Not the End of the Story

What happens after you get sober? The rebuilding. The identity questions. The relationships. The moments nobody prepares you for. Jessie speaks honestly about the long game of recovery — for people in it, and for the people who love them. Suitable for treatment facilities, recovery events, and addiction awareness programs.

Starting Over — It Is Never Too Late

At 57, Jessie moved to Mexico, launched a business, took on raising a child, recovered from multiple spinal surgeries, and wrote a book. This talk is for anyone who thinks their window has closed. It hasn't. Suitable for women's empowerment events, corporate wellness, and community organizations.
