ABOUT JILLIAN

I spent my career telling stories.
This one's mine.

I'm Jillian! A journalist by training, an entrepreneur by choice, and someone who believes the scariest pivots make the best stories.

CONFIDENT,
EMPOWERED, AND FIERCE.

I want you to...

As someone who spent decades on TV,
I know what it takes and I want you to be:

STAND OUT AND BE REMEMBERED

The parts that don't fit on a résumé.

I'm a Philadelphia native through and through. I'm happiest on a golf course (it's where the LemonRose Golf idea was born) or with a camera in my hand exploring new places. I'm a firm believer that getting nervous is a privilege: it means you're growing.

I'm pivoting in public and sharing it with you, a dog lover (just look at that face), and proof that the most interesting chapter is usually the one you weren't supposed to write.

Speaking inquiries, collaborations, or coaching services, I'd love to hear from you.

THE STORY

or nearly twenty years, I had one of the best seats in the room. I anchored national morning television, reported live from the field on the biggest stories of the day, and covered everything from breaking news to the World Series. I won two Emmys along the way. From the outside, it looked like the dream, and a lot of it was.

But somewhere in all those early mornings and live shots, I started asking a quieter question: if no one handed me the script, what would I actually say?

"So in 2023, I did the most uncomfortable thing I could think of. I left television entirely to bet on myself."

Not just one network. All of it. The studio, the title, the security of a career I'd spent two decades building. I went back to school and earned my MBA. I started my own communications and speaking business. And with my friend and co-founder Kristen Casey, I built LemonRose Golf, a brand for women who belong on the course, and own the room off it.

Today I write, I speak, and I help other people find the nerve to use their own voice. I'm still telling stories. The difference is, now I get to choose them.
