Who is Jillian Turecki and what is her philosophy on relationships?
You know and what your true wisdom has always been. My guest today says, our relationships determine our happiness in life. Well, isn't that just the truth? And if you're like me, if my relationships are out of whack or not in a good place, then everything else is off kilter. Like when you have an argument with somebody who's close to you and you love, it throws everything else off. And there is no happiness without first taking care of our relationships. And so I'm so happy that Jillian Tarecki, who is a certified relationship coach, a teacher and host of the hit podcast, Jillian on Love, almost 3 million of you are following her advice on Instagram. Well, Jillian, wrote a book, her very first book called It Begins With You.
The nine hard truths about love that will change your life. So, welcome to the Tea House.
Thank you for having me. Every relationship we've ever had will reflect back to us the relationship we have with ourselves. Period. End of story.
Julian Turecki is a rising star in relationship advice.
And it is not your job to try to convince someone to be ready for you or to choose you.
Her smart, no-nonsense guidance is resonating with a growing loyal audience.
Some relationships don't work out because you both were too immature to make it work out.
Her Book It Begins With You was an instant New York Times Bestseller. Her hit Podcast Jillian on Love is being called one of the best relationship podcasts. And she is the daughter of renowned psychiatrist Dr. Stanley Turecki, whose 1985 book The Difficult Child was once considered the definitive work on dealing with what were then called hard to raise children. And you write on page 214, I was a highly sensitive child who felt his darkness so intensely, it disturbed me. Yes. Did you and your father ever find peace? So many people have been telling me to have Jillian on my podcast.
I'm just terrified of not being enough. The fear of pain is making you push away good men. I want you to make a deeper connection. And sometimes that deep connection doesn't come on the first date.
If you're ready to find out how all your relationships begin with you, this is your episode.
Just go for it! Go for it!
I see that you are in a moment. Do you feel that moment for yourself? I do absolutely feel like I'm in a moment. I call it a moment of rising because someone mentioned you to me. Have I seen your new book? And then someone else mentioned your name. And then my niece Krishanda sent me a video. And so I'm thinking, and this is all within a period of two or three days, so I'm thinking... Okay, that's the magic of three. Let's call Jillian. And then I find out that we have this long time connection that I didn't even know about. So how are you navigating the rise?
I'm navigating it, you know, it's a wild ride. It's a wild ride. I navigate it by staying grounded through my yoga practice, through meditation and through just trying to stay as present as I can.
I think that's the key for all things, really. So I want to start at the beginning of the book. I mean, whoa, did you have a wham, damn, doozle of the beginning of a book? You say that on June 2nd, 2014, my life fell apart. My mother had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer, you say. Yes. And given three months to live. And you say, that morning I suffered my third miscarriage.
