Today we meet our first speaker from That's What She Said Terre Haute, Jess Berryhill. Our hosts are delighted to chat with Jess about her unique journey to create a bigger and better life.

My experience with Jess began in 2006 when I met and taught her as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s been a wild ride ever since (and for Jess, before that, obv). But dang. This woman and her magic and power is incredible. Can’t wait to learn what you think about Jess’s story!
