Jillian’s Mission Statement
“To empower people to be Victors, not Victims by giving them the tools, advice, guidance, tips, and knowledge to “fix” their lives and achieve happiness, success and greatness."
It seems nearly impossible that someone could go from living a life of drug addiction, crime, high school dropout, prostitution, homelessness, and teenage motherhood to a published author, fitness expert, award winning filmmaker, life coach, and professional speaker. As Jillian held on to what she calls her “fighting spirit,” she slowly took the steps necessary to transform her life from a Victim to a Victor.
Jillian Bullock, aka “The Legitimate Fixer of Transformational Development”© is a renowned and highly sought-after professional speaker, life coach, author, and fitness, health and wellness expert. Jillian became a speaker and certified life coach after her memoir, HERE I STAND was published in 2012 and she started getting letters and emails from people all across the country, including people in correctional institutions. They all asked her the two same questions: How she turned her life around? Can she help them?
Jillian is the CEO of Jillian Bullock Enterprises, LLC, an empowerment and entertainment production company based in Pennsylvania. She uses written material, (books, articles and screenplays), visual methods, (film, video), spoken word, (speeches, lectures, seminars), and fitness and wellness workshops to produce positive, entertaining and empowering material for people. Jillian has shared her unimaginable, but inspirational life story with hundreds of thousands of people through TV, radio and print appearances, and speaking engagements.
“Practically anyone can transcend suffering, overcome horrible conditions, deprogram destructive habits and remove self from negative circumstances and abusive people if they are truly determined to change in order to make their life better, happier, safer, and more fulfilling.” – Jillian Bullock
When it comes to helping people transform and “fix” their lives, Jillian deeply and fully understands their dilemma, pain, frustration, disappointment, sadness, and anger, all of which holds people back from fulfilling their dreams and goals in life. Jillian sees the picture from all sides; not only because of her education and training, but because she has been there. She knows firsthand what it takes to turn one’s life around.
Jillian’s empowerment and transformational programs are designed to push audiences and clients to take them out of their comfort level and get amazing results, far beyond their expectations. They will change and improve their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-beginning. But to have this amazing personal and professional life it does take discipline, focus, faith, sacrifice, and a fighting spirit.

Jillian has grappled with homelessness, drug addiction, rape, teenage pregnancy, and prostitution. Despite her past, Jillian has been determined to follow her dream of becoming an accomplished screenwriter and filmmaker. Making a name in the film industry is a difficult proposition. It takes extreme dedication, smarts, resourcefulness, phenomenal people skills and luck. Maybe Jillian’s difficult past has built her resolve. Certainly everything has been possible in her life, and today Jillian is an award winning writer and filmmaker.
-- SHARON PINKENSON -- Executive Director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office
Jillian is a woman who knows no boundaries. Considering her upbringing and the horrific obstacles she has overcome in her life, she could have fallen through the cracks and decided life wasn’t worth living. Instead, she dug down deep and fought back to succeed against all odds. Today, Jillian is an inspiration to those who feel hopeless and who are living a life in despair.
