Show Notes: What if the LOVE you’re searching for starts with YOU? That’s the POWERFUL truth Jillian Turecki shared, and it hit me like a bolt of LIGHTNING. Her message about RADICAL accountability, as she writes in her book It Begins With You: The Nine Hard Truths About Love That Will Change Your Life, is a game-changer. It’s not about blaming others but OWNING your patterns and rewriting the stories holding you back. She reminded me that being BOLD, vulnerable, and clear about your needs isn’t just empowering; it’s MAGNETIC. Growth happens when we face our fears, meet our own needs, and CELEBRATE the journey. Most importantly, she left me FIRED UP with this truth—CHANGE isn’t just possible, it’s already within your REACH. Are you READY to claim it? Her book is the perfect place to start.

Show Notes: What if the secret to finding genuine love isn’t about doing more but doing less—and doing it with INTENTION? My conversation with Niko Emanuilidis reminded me that setting boundaries and knowing your WORTH aren’t just nice-to-haves; they’re essential for building something REAL. It’s not about playing games—it’s about creating the freedom for AUTHENTIC love to grow. SLOW DOWN. Protect your energy. The right person will see your VALUE and put in the effort to meet you there. Niko’s advice? Prioritize high-interest connections and release the lukewarm ones. This is your chance to EMBRACE your POWER, lean into your authenticity, and attract the love you DESERVE.
