MESSAGES OF HOPE
Television Program offers powerful Messages of Hope
Disabled with two broken ankles in 2006, international speaker and bestselling author Jill Lublin discovered what it’s like to be literally stopped in her tracks. Jill was not only physically immobilized; she began to sink into a state of depression, something completely unfamiliar to her. Her business began to suffer because she couldn't keep appointments or show up for scheduled appearances. In her personal life, simple tasks were no longer simple and in some cases impossible. Jill had reached ground zero. Denied her previous model of dynamism and success, she turned her vision inward.
As Jill asked herself the questions, "Who am I now?" and "What am I willing to do?" she realized that her work in the world was to help people create their own dreams by listening to the joy of their inner calling — especially when they, too, have been stopped in their tracks. This is where the vision for the Messages of Hope television program was born.
Jill says, “I feel that so much is happening in our world that people need hope. I was inspired to help others feel more optimism in their lives by creating this television program.”
Some of the topics Jill treats on the show are obsessive compulsive disorder, grief, violence, and cultural differences. Guests have included:
