About this episode

Jillian discusses the essential traits for building healthy, lasting relationships and shares uncomfortable truths about love.

What does it actually take to build a healthy, lasting relationship? In this episode, Jillian shares seven uncomfortable truths about love that most of us were never taught—from how childhood coping strategies show up in adult relationships to why communication, effort, emotional regulation, and taking responsibility for your own happiness matter so much. She explores why healthy relationships aren't 50/50, why your past never excuses mistreating your partner, and why learning to manage yourself when you're triggered may be one of the most important relationship skills you can develop.
