Authentic and profound

Listening to Jillian felt like I had a friend sitting on the couch next to me, giving me sound and straight forward advice. Going into 2025, her book is giving me confidence in myself to start focusing on myself and healing the parts of me that I thought love could fix. I know now that I need to love myself first.

Love yourself 1st by reading this book and really listening.

I love Jillian’s voice as it provided calm encouragement to tune into valuable insights into what I needed to hear and understand about myself present and past. I truly appreciate the steps/suggestions of How or what to do about specific topics. Thank you for writing this and helping me learn how to love myself better.

Good information.

Great information on how to forgive yourself and learn how to recognize your attachment style. Follow the nine steps in this book to find a healthy relationship full of love and respect.

Great book

I really like the content but I think the author didn’t do a good job of narrating…

It begins with you…

Everything said on this book was very helpful. You must look within, there is hope in healing. One step at a time.

I've listened to it 3 times in a row! I love it

I feel like this book helped me heal so much and every time I listen to it, I learn something new. It's incredibly relatable and helped me see things from a different perspective, which has been therapeutic. I highly, highly recommend!

Good advice

Really helpful concepts delivered clearly and with great anecdotes to support the concepts. Could listen to it repeatedly and benefit each time.

The best book about relationships and self growth

If I had to offer one single book about relationships and self growth to someone looking for an advice about being in a relationship, and mainly about growing up and being at peace with yourself and your family then this is the one book.
The author packs many lifetime lessons and a lot of wisdom in one amazing book.
I am not sure how but somehow she was able to condense so much information that many times I had to play it over and over again. The book is worth listening 2nd and 3rd time. No doubt.
I recommend this book to everyone interested in their relationships and in becoming a better person.

You're worth more than a 'situationship'.

I appreciate all of the stories from her clients and her own life. There is a lot to unpack in this book, and yet you can still come away with many nuggets of truth.

This would save my relationship.

If i listened or read this book a month ago, my relationship would be different. I am going through the most difficult breakup ever and i loathe my mind. Listening to this book for 8 hours straight cleared my mind and helped me to understand why i messed up my life. I hope this will save many other people relationships. Thank you Jillian
