Recovery Spotlight: Lexi

By CrossPurpose

At 30 years young, Denver native Lexi Rodriguez is a proud Highlands Ranch High School graduate, a seeker of peace, and above all, a deeply devoted mom to her three beautiful children. For Lexi, recovery isn’t a straight line—it’s a journey of profound resilience. After coming within two weeks of a sober milestone last year and experiencing a setback, Lexi didn’t give up. Instead, she chose to keep fighting for the life she and her family deserve.

Over the last four years, Lexi found a second home at Live Different Recovery, leaning in consistently this year to embrace everything the community has to offer. From the nourishing family meals and loving childcare to the grounding peace of acupuncture and yoga, LDR has become a space where Lexi and her kids thrive together. 

Her “Why” is simple yet profound: she wants to be her best, clear-minded self to soak up every fleeting moment with her fast-growing babies. Lexi is most proud of being fully present in her children’s lives, teaching them daily while discovering new depths within herself. Her message to anyone still struggling in the thick of it? “You deserve all the greatness God has to offer you. Keep thanking God even when you’re mad or sad and don’t understand. Just keep believing.”
