Summary
Talking points: relationships, conflict, love, culture
There aren’t many folks in the wellness space as frank, wise, and empathetic as Jillian, and I always love having her on the show. This time, we sat down to dig into everything relationships, from culture and social media’s effects (read: not always great) to defining lust vs love, and much more. Strongly recommend this one for a couple’s listen.
(00:00:00) - Why are people so disenfranchised with relationships these days, and is there a broader function to relationships that we’re missing?
(00:09:00) - What contributes to self-centeredness is relationships, and how do we combat that?
(00:15:46) - The purpose of uncertainty and the unknown in relationships, and the difference between lust and love
(00:24:34) - On being able to disagree
(00:31:59) - How do people get stuck in “cycles of lust”?
(00:41:29) - What kind of a man do women want, and why can you not convince someone to love you?
(00:50:24) - Why convincing someone to love you is a turn-off

| 1:37.0 | around dating. |
| 1:38.2 | What's happened? |
| 1:39.3 | Oh, there's just, I don't even know where to begin because there's so much to talk about. |
| 1:43.9 | Well, one thing is social media. |
| 1:46.2 | There's like this interesting self involvement that's happening where, you know, someone will share |
| 1:52.4 | something on social media and all the women will say, yes, of course, you see like, of course |
