Jessica R. Chenard is a writer of purposeful adventures, healing, and legacy; hiking and writing give her a sense of creativity and purpose. She is a business owner, mother, wife, daughter, sister, community builder, and friend. Chenard is the founder of Her Hike Collective, an all-women’s hiking community. You can find her hosting the group’s quarterly hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Chenard was motivated to write this book after spending a decade living it. She hiked to heal from tragedy, and later hiking helped her nurture a beautiful life. *Social media links* @jessicaryanphoto @herhikecollective #herhikebook #herhikecollective #jessicarchenard
