107 Days at Sea: The Journey That Changed Everything: Conversation with Jill Chalsty

At 63, Jill Chalsty boarded a ship alone, grieving the loss of her husband and facing cancer. What began as a journey around the world became something much more; a story of resilience, connection, and hope.

In this engaging lecture, award winning author, Jill Chalsty shares the story behind her memoir, Packets of Hope, taking participants along on her journey through the ports she visited, the people she met, and the experiences that transformed personal adversity into a source of strength and global impact. Discover how one person's courage can create ripples that reach around the world.

"Packets of Hope: A Journey of Healing and Rediscovery was named a 2026 NYC Big Book Award winner for Best Audiobook-Nonfiction."

The memoir is available free at www.packetsofhope.com.
