What if your relationship struggles are rooted in how you see yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with Jillian Turecki, a relationship coach + author, to explore what it really takes to build strong, healthy relationships. We talk about why so many modern relationships feel transactional, the role of self-awareness in choosing the right partner, and how to handle conflict in ways that bring you closer rather than pushing you apart. Jillian shares practical tips on navigating common challenges like unmet expectations, resentment, and the emotional rollercoaster of early-stage romance.

We also dive into the deeper dynamics of love—how unresolved childhood patterns show up in our relationships, why emotional safety is the foundation for intimacy, and how self-regulation can transform the way we connect. Jillian + Alyssa explain how identifying what truly matters to you and your partner can help you build a relationship that thrives, even when things get tough.

If you’re curious about how to improve your communication, let go of resentment, or avoid the traps of modern dating, this episode is packed with insights. Whether you’re single or in a partnership, the tools and stories we explore can help you create a more fulfilling + connected love life.
