Intro

What if your patterns didn’t define you, but showed you EXACTLY where you can grow?

Why do we keep choosing the same people—even when we know better?

If you’ve felt luckless, stuck, or so far away from the loving partnership you want in life, we’ve got the MOST expansive episode for you.

In this powerful conversation, Jessica welcomes renowned relationship teacher and NYT best-selling author and podcast host, Jillian Turecki, for a grounded, radically honest look at why our love lives can feel stuck, painful, or endlessly cyclical—even after doing years of self-help work.

They explore what it really means to take accountability without blame, why nervous system regulation is the missing piece in most relationship advice, and how to tell the difference between a need and a wound. Jillian opens up about her own divorce, how her father’s betrayal shaped her patterns, and what it took to fully reclaim her worth.

You’ll also hear practical tools for pausing reactivity, unpacking unhealthy dynamics, and moving from “I am this” to “I’m working on this.” Whether you’re heartbroken, dating, partnered, or reflecting on your past, this episode will give you a new framework for conscious love.

Healing your relationship patterns isn’t about finding the perfect person—it’s about becoming your truest self so the most aligned dynamic can find you.
