About this listen

In this episode of Trauma Rock Stars, Tracy sits down with Jimmy Phipps — a former model and dancer turned motivational speaker, personal trainer, and recovered addict. Once caught in the cycle of alcoholism and drug addiction, he hit rock bottom — but through recovery, discipline, and resilience, he completely transformed his life.

Today, Jimmy shares his powerful addiction recovery story, the lessons he learned from his journey, and how he helps others find strength through fitness, mental health awareness, and personal growth.

We dive into:

  • His journey from modeling and dancing to addiction and alcoholism
  • The turning point that led to his sobriety and recovery
  • How personal training and fitness became part of his healing process
  • His work today as a motivational speaker inspiring others to rebuild their lives

This episode is for anyone looking for inspiration, addiction recovery motivation, or proof that a comeback is always possible.

We dive deep into:

  • His journey from glamour to rock bottom
  • How he overcame addiction and found recovery
  • The mindset shifts that turned his life around
  • Why fitness, motivation, and purpose became his saving grace

This is an unfiltered, powerful conversation about redemption, discipline, and the courage to reinvent yourself.
