Before launching her popular blog, "One Good Thing by Jillee," Heber City resident Jill Nystul was a newscaster battling a long list of demons. Suffering from postpartum anxiety and struggling to care for her four children, including a young son with celiac disease and diabetes, Nystul turned to food and alcohol for comfort. Her alcohol consumption eventually spiraled into an addiction that nearly cost her her family. Finally, after a yearlong marital separation and a hard look at herself in rehab, she realized that she needed to turn her life around. She began simply: blogging about one good thing each day.
Jill Nystul's new book is "One Good Life: My Tips, My Wisdom, My Story." Her website "One Good Thing by Jillee" receives, on average, 4.6 million monthly page views. She is a 2013 Parents magazine blog award winner, and her work has been featured on People.com, Oprah.com, BHG.com, The Huffington Post, ApartmentTherapy.com, BonAppetit.com, LifeHacker.com, TheKitchn.com, MSN.com (Money), and Time Out for Women. Nystul lives in Heber City, Utah, with her husband, Dave, and their children.
