In her highly anticipated debut book, she makes clear that if you want a meaningful relationship filled with connection, security, and intimacy, you have to look within. The common denominator in all your relationships is you.

Drawing from decades of experience helping clients heal themselves and their relationships, It Begins with You introduces the 9 core truths we must accept in order to change our lives:

• Truth 1: It begins with you.
• Truth 2: The mind is a battlefield.
• Truth 3: Lust is not the same thing as love.
• Truth 4: You have to love yourself.
• Truth 5: You must speak up and tell the truth.

• Truth 7: You cannot convince someone to love you.
• Truth 8: No one is coming to save you.
• Truth 9: You must make peace with your parents.

Blending therapeutic strategies, somatic techniques, client case studies, practical tools, tips, and guiding questions, It Begins with You gives us a roadmap to finally start doing the work needed to love ourselves and find the love we deserve. It's never too late to choose yourself.

Great book

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

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.

Get it now!

Do not hesitate to get this audiobook. I was going through a truly terrible breakup and it gave me the perspective I needed. It helped me move forward and focus on myself, which has been deeply empowering. I am now a true Jillian Turecki fan.

Meaningful relationships reflect the love you practice internally.

When we stop waiting for others to fill our gaps, and instead take ownership, relationships shift from fragile transactions to conscious partnerships.

Finally One that Resonated

In the midst of so many experts, gurus, life coaches etc. I felt this book was written specifically for me. It came at a time in my life where I needed these truths in order to learn and evolve. It comforted me on days I felt anxious and stuck. Thank you Jillian!

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
