Summary

Jillian Turecki, Certified Relationship Coach and author of It Begins With You: The 9 Hard Truths About Love That Will Change Your Life, returns to the podcast to share powerful insights about the transformative power of self-awareness and personal accountability in shaping romantic connections. We explore the origins of her book and its central premise: meaningful change in relationships starts from within. Jillian discusses the mind’s role as a battlefield, where unchecked narratives can lead to self-sabotage, and offers tools to overcome these patterns. She sheds light on the dynamics of modern dating, the importance of self-worth, and the delicate balance of growing individually while in partnership. Through candid reflections, Jillian addresses family influences, the necessity of speaking one’s truth, and the liberating power of making peace with one’s past. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity, empowerment, and a deeper understanding of love’s complexities.
