Peace Sistas: Our Recovery Journey

In the debut episode of Peace Sistas Wellness, host Jodi Miller welcomes her sister and co-founder, Jennifer Couch, to share the origin story behind Peace Sistas and the personal recovery journey that inspired it. Sixteen years ago, at one of the lowest points in her life, Jodi made a life-changing phone call at her sister’s encouragement. That call led to her first recovery meeting and a spiritual awakening she still remembers in vivid detail. What began as surrender became peace, and that peace sparked something tangible: handmade bracelets shared with sisters, friends, and family as symbols of healing, accountability, and connection.Together, Jodi and Jennifer reflect on:The moment recovery began and the peace that followedHow a simple bracelet evolved into a symbol of daily intentionThe power of accountability, willingness, and showing upFaith, prayer, and the guiding phrase: “Guide me, show me, use me for good.”Living in the present moment through meditation and mindfulnessTurning imposter syndrome into purposeThe ripple effect of sharing encouragement through Monday Motivation and meditation practicesThe conversation also explores how Peace Sistas grew beyond jewelry into a wellness practice that includes mindfulness work in local jails, meditation recordings, and spiritual encouragement for women navigating stress, recovery, and everyday life. At its core, this episode is about connection. It is about choosing who you want to be each day. It is about trusting the plan even when it feels uncertain. And it is about discovering that recovery is not just about overcoming addiction, it is about healing, growth, and living with intention.Key Themes:Recovery. Sisterhood. Accountability. Faith.
