Meet Christine Holubec-Jackson
All about healing after a stroke
"Hello and welcome to 7 Jars of Hot Pickled Peppers! I'm Christine, a stroke survivor and I understand how recovery can be a real rollercoaster. My hope is to help other stroke survivors transform the ups, the downs, and the scary drops into something more manageable; more like the carousel! And you even get to pick your own horse!"

A rollercoaster ride to acceptance
Christine is a stroke survivor. In April, 2017 she experienced a bleed in her brain that significantly impacted her life. She started journaling her experience and ended up writing her memoir "7 Jars of Hot Pickled Peppers (A rollercoaster ride to acceptance)". She decided that she wanted to share her experience beyond her book and created a podcast: 7 Jars of Hot Pickled Peppers. This form of media allowed Christine to interview guests specific to learning about stroke recovery from the patients perspective.
