Jodi Peterson is originally from Southern California. She is the youngest of three girls and grew up in a home with a Mom and Dad who loved each other and their girls, and who remained married until her mother died in 2009. 2010 is when Jodi was introduced to mental
illness and her life has been forever changed because of it. She is inspired everyday by the guests she served at Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter to stay balanced and take good care of her, so can can continue to fight the good fight for them and others who suffer with no support system to hold them up. Jodi hopes that people leave this event with something new in their heads and hearts that helps them with their own struggles or has given them new tools to help the ones they love who struggle.

Jodi shares her story in the This Is My Brave Boise 2017 show.
