Jillian Turecki on Reimagining Relationships & Myths About Love
“We’ve been sold a lot of lies about what it is to love someone and what it is to be loved.”
— Jillian Turecki
What if everything you learned about love was wrong?
In this new edition of Life Above the Noise, Maria’s interview series with Architects of Change who are Moving Humanity Forward, relationships expert Jillian Turecki breaks down common myths to help us improve every relationship in our lives—beginning with the relationship we have with ourselves.
Jillian shows us a radical new path to connection and what it means to love well as she offers her wisdom on the courage of letting go when someone isn’t right for you, the amount of work a relationship should really take, common misconceptions men and women have about each other, and so much more.
We invite you to take a listen below, and we hope you’ll let us know what you think in the comments.
