After 25 years in public education, Jill has decided to use her masters degree and teaching experience to become a personal empowerment mentor. Her memoir published in 2022, entitled “When the Apple Falls Far from the Tree,” outlines a lifetime of adversity and the tools she used to make it to the other side. From growing up with chaos in a house of violence, to cancer recovery, multiple weight loss surgeries, a newly sober lifestyle, and a spiritual awakening- Jill feels compelled to share the “gifts” she has discovered along her path of personal growth. She is the creator of the blog site, justbeingjill.com and also writes under the pen name, Margo Reilly. Jill has recently completed a life coach course and soon hopes to be assisting others with their own transformational journeys. Jill is proud to release her second memoir, When You Shake the Family Tree. In her latest work, she details her journey of self-acceptance and healing after learning she was not exactly who she thought she was after taking an Ancestry DNA test.She is eager to share how she navigated her identity crisis in hopes of inspiring others to find their way forward.Jill's Notes from the Sidelines:
