Summary

Lasting love isn’t something you find; it is a skill you must practice. In this episode, Jeff Krasno speaks with two leading relationship experts, Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) and Jillian Turecki, to explore how to build healthy relationships through emotional responsibility, conscious communication, and self-awareness. While society focuses on the romance of falling in love, very little guidance exists on what it takes to sustain connection over time. This episode dismantles the myth of the “perfect partner” and provides actionable tools to navigate the inevitable challenges of long-term commitment, from boredom to conflict. This episode covers: The three anchors for loving better: Kindness, Compassion, and Growth Emotional Responsibility: How to communicate feelings without blaming your partner The “Comfort Trap”: Balancing stability with novelty to keep the spark alive Healing the Past: Why your relationship with yourself dictates your romantic success Conflict Resolution: Moving from “fighting to win” to listening to understand Love as a Verb: Practical rituals to show up for your partner even when you don’t feel like it This podcast is for couples feeling stuck in a rut, singles looking to break old patterns, and anyone ready to approach love with greater mindfulness and maturity.
