Podcast

The Recovery Couch

Welcome to The Recovery Couch, a faith-based space where raw honesty meets redemption. Here, we believe that true healing begins with vulnerability—sharing our struggles, our setbacks, and our victories.

True Story Media

Telling the Stories That Lead to Transformation

True Story Media exists to bring truth to the surface—because transformation begins when people stop hiding and start being honest.

Founded by Brandon Couch, True Story Media is a purpose-driven media company focused on sharing real stories of addiction, recovery, identity, and faith. Through podcasting, video, speaking, and digital content, we create spaces where people feel seen, understood, and challenged to change.

Our Mission

To use storytelling as a catalyst for truth, healing, and transformation—reaching people where they are and helping them take the first step toward a new life.

What We Do

  • Produce The Recovery Couch podcast—real, unfiltered conversations about recovery and transformation
  • Create media content that challenges, encourages, and reaches people in everyday life
  • Deliver speaking and coaching experiences that move people from awareness to action
  • Partner with organizations and sponsors to amplify messages that matter

How It Connects

True Story Media is often the first touchpoint—where someone hears a story, feels understood, and realizes change is possible.
From there, the True Story Recovery Foundation provides real support, resources, and opportunities for individuals ready to take the next step in their recovery journey.

Why It Matters

People don’t change because they’re told to.
They change when something finally hits home.
A story can do that.
Truth can do that.

And when it does—that’s where everything begins.

We tell the story. The Foundation helps rewrite it.

MISSION

Restoring Lives Through Truth, Recovery, and Purpose


The True Story Recovery Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals break free from addiction, rebuild their identity, and step into a life of
purpose.

Founded by Brandon Couch, the foundation exists to serve those who feel stuck, forgotten, or out of options—offering real support through recovery storytelling, coaching scholarships, community events, and faith-based encouragement.

We believe recovery is more than sobriety—it’s about transformation. It’s about
renewing the mind, restoring identity, and creating a future rooted in truth.

What We Do

  • Provide recovery coaching scholarships for individuals who cannot afford support
  • Host community events and outreach focused on healing and connection
  • Support veterans and justice-involved individuals navigating recovery and
    reintegration
  • Share real stories of transformation through media, podcasting, and speaking

Why It Matters

Addiction isolates. Shame silences.
But when people are given a space to be real, they can begin to heal.
Your support helps us reach more individuals, expand our programs, and provide life-changing resources to those who need it most.

    TESTIMONIALS

    "Brandon's passion for helping others find freedom in Christ is incredibly authentic. He shares his own powerful story with vulnerability and encourages others to find real hope in Christ. Brandon shares his personal experiences in recovery and wants to support others on their path. I am blessed to call Brandon a friend and to see him walking his journey out with the bravery and strength found in Christ. God bless you, Brandon!"

    "The Recovery Couch with Brandon. I just got done listening to Brandon’s first episode where he interviews Tony Miltenberger. Pretty fantastic. Too many times we think conversations like this are the exception, I hope and pray that conversations like these become normal—conversations about healing, recovery, redemption, humility, and faith. Brandon provides space for guests to share raw, real-life stories and guides them into conversations that help others reflect on their own journey. Can't wait for the next episode. Great job Brandon, and thanks Tony for sharing your heart!"
