        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jill Martin is keeping her head up after splitting from fiancé Erik Brooks earlier this year.</p><p>&#8220;I mean, any dramatic change like that is going to be a major shift, but it&#8217;s how you pivot and it&#8217;s how you find silver linings,&#8221; the &#8220;Today&#8221; show lifestyle contributor told Page Six via Zoom this week. &#8220;I really spiritually believe in timing. I believe in resets. I believe in giving yourself time to heal, and this has been such an incredible time to pivot.&#8221;</p><p>Martin, 44, exclusively confirmed to Page Six in May that she and Brooks had <strong>ended their engagement</strong> amid the coronavirus pandemic. They <strong>got engaged in the Hamptons</strong> in May 2019 after dating for about two years.</p><p>The QVC star, who is adding hand sanitizer to her <strong>Potion 54 collection</strong> in a couple of weeks amid the ongoing pandemic, said quarantining with her family has made her reevaluate her priorities.</p><p>&#8220;I like who I am now. I like this slower Jill. I have time for myself, and I&#8217;ve been able to recalibrate my life and re-time it in a way,&#8221; she told us. &#8220;It&#8217;s been a time of healing, but really, it&#8217;s been a time of looking forward and also enjoying the present and being able to be around my family.&#8221;</p><p>Martin and her family are preparing celebrate her <strong>brother&#8217;s wedding</strong> on Friday.</p><p>&#8220;Any dramatic change in your life like that is going to be impactful of course, but I immediately pivoted into daughter, niece, sister, wedding planner,&#8221; she said of her breakup from Brooks.</p><p>The family is also thankful for her 83-year-old Uncle Jerry&#8217;s miraculous recovery from COVID-19 after being placed on a ventilator.</p><p>&#8220;Overall, it&#8217;s been a remarkable experience,&#8221; she told us. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s been life-changing in a really beautiful way. I was affected from the very beginning in a very dramatic way, so I&#8217;ve taken [this pandemic] super seriously. &#8230;There hasn&#8217;t been anything but how lucky we are for my uncle.&#8221;</p><p>Uncle Jerry remains hospitalized but has been FaceTiming and calling Martin and her family frequently.</p>]]></content:encoded>
