About this episode
Jillian helps a listener understand the difference between pursuing and chasing in relationships and emphasizes the importance of self-fulfillment.
In this coaching session, Jillian helps a listener untangle what he thought was anxious attachment and reveals what may actually be happening instead: he’s getting emotionally invested before a real relationship has even begun. She breaks down the difference between pursuing and chasing, why texting can create a false sense of intimacy, and how to stop wasting energy on people who aren’t truly showing up. This episode is also a powerful reminder that the more alive, engaged, and fulfilled you feel in your own life, the less likely you are to confuse attention with connection.
