Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow.

Okay, in today's episode, my Better Three-quarters, Skyler, and I are joined by renowned relationship coach, Old Friend, and Cooley, Jillian Tarecki.

She is the author of the fantastic new book.

It Begins with You, the Nine Hard Truths About Love That Will Change Your Life.

I had a great time reading it.

So Jillian has spent over a decade guiding people to build better relationships with themselves

and with others as a seasoned coach and former yoga teacher.

Her approach is rooted in mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and actionable insights.

So in this rather lively episode, Jillian shares her deeply personal journey of growth, resilience, and

transformation from navigating heartbreak and healing to becoming a guide for literally

thousands of individuals seeking clarity in love and life. So we dive into topics like

the critical role of self-awareness in building lasting relationships,

why chemistry can both ignite and mislead us in love,

the surprising power of vulnerability in fostering true intimacy,

and practical strategies to reignite connection,

even when the spark seems to be a mere flicker.

So Jillian also reveals how her background as a yoga teacher helped her understand the profound

mind-body connection and how this knowledge informs her work with clients today.

But if you've ever wondered what it takes to create a truly fulfilling relationship or you're

simply seeking tools to strengthen the ones that you already have and cherish, well,

this episode is for you.

So without further delay, I present to you, Jillian Turecki.
