I’m so glad you’re here.

I'm Jill Ripley, and if you're finding your way to this space, chances are you’ve weathered a few storms of your own. I wrote Empowered by the Storm as a love letter to the parts of us that feel broken, forgotten, or stuck—and as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is light waiting to be found. This journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about healing, reclaiming your power, and stepping into the life you were always meant to live. Wherever you are in your story, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you’re stronger than you think. Let’s rise, together.
