Jill Dawn Armijo

Jill Armijo lives in Lehi, Utah with her husband and her furball, a terrier mix with little-dog syndrome. They have three grown, amazing sons, and the most adorable granddaughter ever. She enjoys reading and writing, eating, running, playing outside, camping, and hiking.

Jill became her husband’s caregiver in the late 1990s, as a young mother of two little boys, and the youngest on the way. She spent many years trying to get her husband to change back into the man she once knew, following his service in the Gulf War. She’s realized that he’s wonderful just as he is, because of all they’ve been through together, and his faithful devotion to his family and God.

Early in their journey with schizophrenia, Jill thought her boys deserved better, and that she couldn’t “do this anymore.” These beliefs have evolved to “our life is more beautiful because of our experiences, not in spite of them.” Life is still challenging, and every day is an adventure, some of which she’d say no to if she had the choice. But she’s learned valuable tools that help her get through all the crazy times with her emotional and spiritual health intact.

In her coaching practice, Jill helps caregivers who feel frustrated, overwhelmed and need more “ME time” to get help, get peace, and create the life they want and deserve.
