Talking points: relationships, conflict, love, culture

There aren’t many folks in the wellness space as frank, wise, and empathetic as Jillian, and I always love having her on the show. This time, we sat down to dig into everything relationships, from culture and social media’s effects (read: not always great) to defining lust vs love, and much more. Strongly recommend this one for a couple’s listen. 

(00:00:00) - Why are people so disenfranchised with relationships these days, and is there a broader function to relationships that we’re missing?

(00:09:00) - What contributes to self-centeredness is relationships, and how do we combat that?

(00:15:46) - The purpose of uncertainty and the unknown in relationships, and the difference between lust and love

(00:24:34) - On being able to disagree

(00:31:59) - How do people get stuck in “cycles of lust”?

(00:41:29) - What kind of a man do women want, and why can you not convince someone to love you?

(00:50:24) - Why convincing someone to love you is a turn-off
