<p>Why do we stay in the wrong relationships? Is it fear, habit, or the belief that love is supposed to be difficult?</p> <p>In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with relationship coach Jillian Turecki for an honest, insightful conversation about why we get stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns—and how to break free from them.</p> <p>We talk about recognizing red flags early, the psychology behind staying too long, and what it truly takes to create a relationship that’s built to last. Jillian also shares practical advice on healing after heartbreak, letting go with grace, and attracting the kind of love that feels aligned and sustainable.</p> <p>Whether you’re moving through a breakup, reflecting on past patterns, or simply trying to understand love more deeply, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and perspective.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What We Discuss:</strong></p> <p>00:00 Intro</p> <p>01:48 You're the Common Denominator in Every Relationship</p> <p>03:38 How to Recognize Your Unconscious Dating Patterns</p> <p>08:52 The Biggest Relationship Mistake People Make</p> <p>11:15 How to Find Meaning After a Breakup or Divorce</p> <p>17:51 “Don’t Deny Yourself the Privilege of Moving On”</p> <p>21:15 Are You Fighting Your Partner—or Your Past?</p> <p>24:13 Stop Blocking Love</p> <p>26:13 Love vs Lust</p> <p>30:56 Why Love Feels Different in Your 20s vs. 30s</p> <p>32:00 Relationship Deal Breakers</p> <p>36:45 Can You Really Be Friends with an Ex?</p> <p>40:09 Is Love Alone Enough to Make a Relationship Work?</p> <p>45:16 The First Step to Rebuilding Your Relationship with Yourself</p> <p>47:07 The Secret to Keeping Chemistry Alive in Your Relationship</p> <p>49:11 You’re Punishing Your Partner Without Realizing It</p> <p>51:25 Cool Girl vs Good Girl</p> <p>56:26 Marriage Is Just the Beginning of Self-Work</p> <p>58:38 Answering audience questions</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Follow Jillian:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.jillianturecki.com/">https://www.jillianturecki.com/</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jillianturecki">https://www.facebook.com/jillianturecki</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="http://instagram.com/jillianturecki">http://instagram.com/jillianturecki</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jillian-on-love/id1640172049">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jillian-on-love/id1640172049</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jillian.turecki?lang=en">https://www.tiktok.com/@jillian.turecki?lang=en</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.threads.net/@jillianturecki">https://www.threads.net/@jillianturecki</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow Radhi:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/">https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/">https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia">https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia</a></li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
