About this listen

The beloved relationships coach, and host of the top relationships podcast Jillian on Love reveals nine core truths to self-acceptance and provides powerful self-healing techniques to help us repair our relationship with ourselves and start building the rewarding relationships we deserve.

Jillian Turecki's warm, yet no-nonsense approach to love has attracted a devoted following of millions. In this, her highly anticipated debut book, she makes clear that if you want a meaningful relationship filled with connection, security, and intimacy, you have to take responsibility. The common denominator in all your relationships is you.

Drawn on her decades of experience helping clients heal themselves and their relationships, It Begins with You introduces the 9 core truths we must accept:

Truth 1: It begins with YOU.
Truth 2: The mind is a battlefield.
Truth 3: Lust is not the same thing as love.
Truth 4: You must show up as your higher self.
Truth 5: You must speak up and tell the truth.
Truth 6: You have to love yourself.
Truth 7: You cannot convince someone to love you.
Truth 8: No one is coming to save you.
Truth 9: We must make peace with our parents.

Blending therapeutic strategies, somatic techniques, client case studies, practical tools, tips, and guiding questions, It Begins With You gives us a roadmap to finally start doing the work needed to love ourselves and find the love we deserve.
