Intro to the Picking Up The PEACEs movement with Jen And Johnny
While there are many podcasts from special forces veterans and successful millionaires, who have made their way through tough times, "Picking up the Peaces" is unique. We aim to bridge the gap between those suffering in silence, like the 'General Population' of the military with PTSD, and those on their journey from rock bottom to success.
Our goal is to showcase individuals from all walks of life, educating them about 'Picking up the Peaces' and finding the peace they didn't know they needed. From combat to homelessness and addiction, we've faced it all. These are the stories we'll share to inspire hope and provide a platform for others. Let's Fucking Go.
