Daily Inspiration: Meet Jill Kaczmarowski

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jill Kaczmarowski.

Hi Jill, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Where to start: Growing up was hard. I came from a broken home. My dad left when I was eight years old, and my mom became a single mother trying to do the best she could for me and my older brother. After my dad left, we lost almost everything and had to move into a small one-bedroom apartment.

Life at home quickly became unhealthy. My mom struggled deeply with depression, anger, and emotional pain, which often turned into verbal and physical abuse. My brother faced his own mental and emotional challenges, and I felt completely lost trying to cope with feelings of abandonment, loneliness, fear, and depression. I was searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places because I had never truly experienced what real love looked like.

Today, I understand my mom was hurting deeply herself and doing the best she knew how to do at the time.

As things at home continued to worsen, I finally ran away. My mom reported me since I was a minor they picked me up. I spent time in state custody until the parents of a friend took me in. Sadly, that situation also became sexually abusive. Eventually, I left and tried to survive on my own. I found an apartment and worked hard to provide for myself, but I was still a hurting and naïve young girl carrying years of brokenness inside.

The pain and emptiness pulled me toward the things of the world—alcohol, drugs, unhealthy relationships, and destructive choices. Crack cocaine eventually brought me to my knees. Over time, I stopped caring about myself completely and ended up in dangerous places, willing to do almost anything for my next hit. My life spiraled deeper into darkness and led me to four abortions and overwhelming shame.

At that time, I truly believed there was no other option. Today, I walk in freedom and forgiveness not only for myself but my parents and perpetrators- only because of my relationship with Jesus Christ.

Jesus rescued me when I was at my lowest point—broken, hopeless, and sitting beside a toilet in a crack house. He met me there. He loved me when I could not love myself.

My boyfriend at the time, who is now my husband of 25 years, also became part of God’s rescue story in my life. I am deeply thankful for the way he stood beside me, supported me through treatment and recovery, and helped nurture me back to life when I could barely stand on my own. Today, we are blessed with two beautiful children and a marriage that is a testimony of God’s redemption and faithfulness.

As my relationship with the Lord grew stronger, I began to understand what real love truly was. Jesus became everything to me because without Him loving me first, I would not be here today to tell my story.

God also placed a deep burden on my heart for teenage girls who were struggling the way I once did. People often ask me why I minister mainly to girls when I have two sons. My answer is simple: girls need women to help guide them, encourage them, and remind them of their worth.

As I continued healing, the Lord slowly revealed my calling. During that season, I received counseling through the Eve Center, a beautiful organization that helps bring healing and wholeness to broken women’s lives. Through my healing journey, I began longing to reach younger girls. I often thought, “If only there had been a safe place for me at that age.”

What I saw as a need, God revealed as a vision.

I said yes to Him, and that is how The Daughters of Eve was born.

The Daughters of Eve is a ministry dedicated to girls ages 12–17. Our mission is to help young girls discover their true identity in Christ and see themselves the way God sees them—not according to the lies of the world. We teach them that they are beautifully made in His image, deeply loved, chosen, and valuable.

So many young girls today search for their worth in performance, appearance, relationships, or approval. We remind them that God’s love is not earned. He loves us simply because He is love.

God also led me to write my book, Broken Made Whole: Jesus In It All, which shares my testimony and the redeeming power of Christ throughout every chapter of my life. Even before I knew Him, He knew me. Looking back now, I can truly say that Jesus was in it all.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. Healing is a journey, and there were many seasons where I had to learn how to fully trust God while facing the pain from my past. Even after coming to Christ, I still struggled with shame, guilt, fear, insecurity, and believing I was truly worthy of love and forgiveness.

One of the biggest struggles I faced was learning how to forgive—not only others, but also myself. The weight of my past choices, especially the abortions and addiction, carried deep emotional and spiritual pain. There were times the enemy constantly reminded me of who I used to be, but God continually reminded me of who I am in Him.

Another struggle was breaking unhealthy patterns and renewing my mind after years of living in survival mode. I had to learn what healthy relationships looked like, what real love looked like, and how to walk in freedom instead of returning to old ways of coping. The Word of God the bible became a tool that transformed me and renewed my mind. Romans 12:2 is one I stand on among many others.

Ministry itself has also come with challenges. Walking with hurting teenage girls means carrying a burden for this generation and seeing firsthand the pain, confusion, rejection, depression, and identity struggles so many young girls face today. There have been moments of heartbreak, spiritual battles, exhaustion, and feeling unqualified. But every challenge has pushed me closer to God and reminded me that this ministry was never built by my strength alone.

Through it all, God has remained faithful. My story is not one of perfection—it is one of redemption, healing, and the grace of God continually transforming a broken life into something beautiful for His glory.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
For many years, my identity was rooted in my career. Early on, I worked as a retail manager, and much of my worth and purpose came from success, performance, and achievement. Over time, however, God began showing me that my true identity was not found in a title or position, but in who I was in Him.

Later, I started a cleaning business, which has become both a blessing and a source of provision for my family. It has also helped support and sustain the ministry God called me to build. Ministry takes resources, and through this business God has faithfully provided a way to help fund the work we do through The Daughters of Eve.

My professional life and career are now deeply connected to the healing and purpose God brought out of my own story. What began as pain and brokenness eventually became a calling to serve, encourage, and mentor young girls who are struggling with identity, self-worth, trauma, and hopelessness.

I am the founder of The Daughters of Eve, a ministry for girls ages 12–17 that was birthed from my own life experiences and healing journey. Through this ministry, I mentor and disciple young girls, helping them understand their true identity in Christ and teaching them they are deeply loved, valued, and created with purpose. Our heart is to create a safe place where girls can be seen, heard, encouraged, and reminded that their past does not define their future.

Over the years, ministry has become more than simply speaking or teaching—it has become walking alongside girls and families through real-life struggles. Whether it is emotional pain, broken homes, anxiety, peer pressure, self-worth struggles, or spiritual growth, my desire is to help point them back to the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

In addition to ministry work, I also became an author and wrote my testimony, Broken Made Whole: Jesus In It All. Writing the book allowed me to share openly about addiction, trauma, abortion, redemption, and God’s restoring power in hopes that others would know healing and freedom are possible no matter how broken their story may seem.

Although I never imagined this would become my life’s work, I now see how God used every difficult chapter of my past to prepare me for the people He would one day call me to serve. What once brought shame has now become part of the testimony and mission God uses to bring hope, healing, and encouragement to others.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Finding healthy mentors and surrounding yourself with the right people can truly change the direction of your life.

For me, mentorship first came through people who genuinely cared about my healing and spiritual growth. Some of those relationships developed through church, counseling, recovery, and ministry connections. What worked best for me was staying humble and teachable and being willing to learn from people who were walking closely with God and living the kind of life I desired to grow into.

I have also learned that mentorship is not always formal. Sometimes it looks like simply spending time with wise people, asking questions, listening more than speaking, and being consistent in relationships. God often places people in our path season by season to help guide, encourage, correct, and strengthen us.

I also love networking with people. It has been one of the biggest ways I have grown both my business and ministry over the years. I believe you have to be willing to put yourself out there. In the beginning, I was very hesitant and unsure of myself, but once I stepped outside of my comfort zone, I began seeing the many doors networking opened in all areas of my life. Some of the greatest opportunities, relationships, and connections came simply from being willing to show up, share my story, and connect with others authentically.

Networking, especially in ministry, has worked best for me through authenticity and serving others rather than trying to promote myself. Many of the relationships and opportunities that opened doors in my life came naturally through serving faithfully, sharing my testimony, volunteering, and simply being willing to say yes when God opened opportunities.

I also believe it is important to seek mentors who not only speak well but live with integrity, humility, wisdom, and compassion. Titles and platforms do not matter nearly as much as character.

Most importantly, I have learned to keep God at the center of every relationship. People can encourage us, but ultimately the Lord is our greatest teacher, counselor, and guide. Some of the best mentorship I received came through prayer, reading God’s Word, and allowing Him to heal and transform my heart over time.

My advice to anyone looking for mentorship or connection would be: stay open, stay teachable, serve faithfully where you are, and do not be afraid to ask for guidance. The right relationships often grow naturally when your heart is open.
