"Am I going to take a deep breath and show up for my partner, even though I'm not in the mood? That's healing." - Jillian Turecki
There's a moment in every relationship that defines everything - when your partner is having the worst day, you're exhausted, and every fiber of your being wants to check out. Relationship expert Jillian Turecki knows this crossroads intimately, and she'll tell you it's not the therapy sessions or self-help books that transform your love life - it's what you choose to do in that exact moment when showing up feels impossible. She's spent years helping people understand that healing doesn't happen in isolation; it happens when you're sitting on the couch with someone you love, deciding whether to lean in or pull away when it matters most.
What Jillian reveals will flip everything you think you know about being "ready" for love. She breaks down why waiting until you're "perfect" is actually sabotaging your chance at real connection, and shares the precise mindset shift that separates couples who thrive for decades from those who flame out. This isn't about settling or tolerating bad behavior - it's about understanding the difference between deal breakers and the beautiful messiness of loving an imperfect human. If you've ever wondered whether you've healed enough to love someone fully, this conversation will give you the clarity you've been searching for.
