In this episode, I sit down with relationship expert Jillian Turecki, who has coached thousands of couples, hosted more than 150 episodes of her hit podcast Jillian on Love, and written the New York Times bestseller It Begins With You. Her message is powerful and clear — real love is possible, but it starts with you. Jillian and I talk about what keeps people stuck in the wrong patterns, why dating in midlife can feel discouraging, and how to reconnect with your own worth before expecting anyone else to see it. We cover: - Why love must begin with your relationship to yourself - The number one dating mistake people are still making in 2025 - How to tell the difference between lust and lasting love - Why chasing connection never leads to real intimacy - How to rebuild confidence after heartbreak or divorce - What “not good enough” really means and how to break free from it - How to date without burning out or settling - Why settling feels safe but ultimately costs you everything - How to fill your own cup first so you attract healthier love This conversation is your roadmap to stop settling, break toxic patterns, and open the door to the connection you’ve always wanted.
