Summary: <br> <br> On today’s podcast episode, we are hanging out with the adorable and vibrant Bri McKoy, author of the new and beautiful book, <a href="http://amzn.to/2yDpblo">Come and Eat</a>, and the blogger behind <a href="http://oursavorylife.com">Our Savory Life</a>. <br> <br> Bri shares with us what motivated her to begin her cooking journey (hint: she got married) and how living in a military community opened her eyes to the need to drop perfection and send out the dinner invites, despite the simple menu and less-than perfect home. This shift in perspective has allowed her to create and encourage community with her social influence and is the foundation to her new book, <a href="http://amzn.to/2yDpblo">Come and Eat</a>. Bri shares with us her best tips for creating community for women out there wanting to connect, but feel overwhelmed and aren’t quite sure how to make it happen.<br> <br> Bri is such a breath of fresh air and we absolutely adore her take on community around the dinner table.
