JeriLynne, AKA The Hill Country Bon Vivant, is a chef, entrepreneur, innovator, and all around certified badass. In this podcast episode, she shares some of her amazing stories that gives us a real insight on the journey that has made her who she is today. Everything from traveling, growing up on the east coast, to the life changing house fire that devastated her and her husband. However, that hasn't slowed her down! She is writing her first cookbook, and has gained a massive online following where she teaches people how to create beautiful meals, and to live life to their fullest “bon vivant”.

It was a pleasure getting to know her story, and I think the listeners will find this episode not only interesting, but a true heart warming interview with so many great moments. You can check her out at https://hillcountrybonvivant.com/ and on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/the_hill_country_bon_vivant/
