Jill Reily: Laughing Through the Pain and Finding Faith

When you can actually own up to who you really are, warts and all.
What if you could turn your darkest moments into a source of strength and even laughter? Jill Reily has done just that. Raised in North Idaho during the tumultuous 1980s, Jill's early life was marked by abuse, abandonment, and the harsh realities of growing up amidst the white supremacy movement. Yet, she emerged with a powerful story of resilience and hope.
In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Jill to explore how she used humor and authenticity to navigate her mental health challenges and deepen her faith. Jill's journey is nothing short of remarkable. An adopted Korean American, she faced serial abandonment and neglect but found solace in storytelling, humor, and a passion for connecting with people. Her faith journey took her from an over-religious upbringing to a more grace-filled and resilient belief system.
With over twenty years as a minister and business consultant, Jill's experiences are a testament to the power of community, faith, and self-acceptance. Whether you're struggling with your own challenges or looking for inspiration, Jill's story offers valuable insights into healing and thriving.
