Refusing to Invest in You Means They're Not the One | Jillian Turecki

The world needs more authentic love, yet most people sabotage their relationships before they even begin - relationship coach and author Jillian Turecki reveals why in this raw conversation about modern dating disasters. She shares her own devastating experience in an abusive relationship over 20 years ago, explaining how low self-worth drives people to choose partners who take from them rather than give to them. Through vulnerable stories about testing boundaries, surviving emotional unavailability, and learning to choose partners over projects, Jillian delivers hard truths about why love alone never sustains relationships. Anyone struggling with relationship patterns, dating anxiety, or the exhausting cycle of trying to fix broken people needs to hear these insights about building genuine partnerships based on mutual investment and emotional health.
