Hi there, and welcome to Helmet and Heels, a space I created for women like you and me—women who dream big, hustle hard, and believe in creating a life that feels as good as it looks.
I’m Jill Todd: a mother of four, an entrepreneur, a nonprofit founder, a community leader, and now, your newest cheerleader. Life has taught me that we, as women, are powerful beyond measure when we embrace our duality—the grit to conquer challenges (the helmet) and the grace to do it with style (the heels). This blog is where I blend it all: business and family, football and fashion, community and self-care, so we can figure out how to have it all—and thrive while doing it.
Why I Started Helmet and Heels
Life wasn’t always this fulfilling for me. I know what it feels like to doubt yourself, to feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions, or to wonder if it’s even possible to “have it all.” Spoiler alert: it is! I’ve spent years navigating the highs and lows of building a career, raising a family, and serving my community, and I’ve learned so much along the way. I want to share those lessons with you—to inspire you, motivate you, and remind you that you’re capable of so much more than you think.
This blog isn’t just about my journey. It’s about us—a collective glow-up where we learn to prioritize ourselves, embrace our dreams, and create the lives we’ve always wanted.
What I Do and How It Fits In
As a business owner, I wear a lot of hats. My two businesses keep me busy but also bring me so much joy:
- JM Marketing and Consulting: This is where my passion for creativity and strategy comes to life. I specialize in helping businesses elevate their brands, connect with their audiences, and achieve their goals through powerful marketing strategies. Whether it’s social media, branding, or event planning, I love helping others shine.
- Bonneville Football Academy: This is a Collegiate Post-Grad Program designed to give young men a second chance to achieve their dreams in both academics and athletics. We provide high-level football training, mentorship, and life coaching to help them transition to collegiate athletics while becoming respectable, responsible young men. Through my nonprofit, I also raise funds to support low-income and at-risk young men who wouldn’t otherwise have this opportunity.
Both businesses reflect my core belief that people deserve the chance to grow, succeed, and become their best selves.
My Role in the Community
Giving back is a huge part of my life. As an ambassador with the St. Lucie Chamber of Commerce, a community connector with the PSL Business Club, and an active member of numerous networking groups and nonprofits, I thrive on building relationships and making a difference. Whether I’m hosting events, supporting local businesses, or volunteering with organizations that uplift families, I’m all about strengthening the community I call home.
I love seeing how small acts of service can create ripples of change. My involvement is more than networking; it’s about connecting people, ideas, and resources to make our community better for everyone.
What to Expect
Here on Helmet and Heels, you’ll find a little bit of everything that lights me up:
- Lifestyle Inspiration: From self-care tips to organizing your life like a pro, I’ll share the routines and habits that keep me balanced and energized.
- Fashion and Beauty: Because looking good can feel even better. I’ll be sharing style tips, shopping finds, and beauty secrets that are easy to incorporate into your busy life.
- Home and Family: Creating a warm, beautiful home and staying connected with family is a huge part of my life. Expect ideas for decorating, family traditions, and making your space a reflection of you.
- Career and Business Motivation: Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, building a business, or juggling it all, I’ll share strategies for productivity, leadership, and manifesting your goals.
- Community and Giving Back: My heart is in the work I do to support at-risk and low-income youth. I’ll show you how small acts of kindness and service can create ripples of change.
But most of all, this blog is about becoming the best version of yourself.
