After Personal Trauma a Chef Finds Peace: Jenn Louis

As a star chef in Portland, Oregon, Jenn Louis won industry awards including Food & Wine Best New Chefs, published two successful cookbooks and competed on Top Chef Masters. Then, in an instant, she became better known for a very public arrest for domestic abuse. On Speaking Broadly, Louis reflects on that excruciating time—the pile up of misperception, accusations and frustration—and how she’s found a new sense of calm and purpose in its aftermath. Louis’s journey is one of talent and ambition rewarded, personal transformation from confident to terrified to strong, bringing her to a place of profound optimism.Want to stay up to date on the latest Speaking Broadly episodes?
