Navigating The Modern Dating Landscape | Jillian Turecki
26: Jillian Turecki is a Teacher, Certified Relationship Coach and writer who specializes in relationships. I found her on instagram last year and was compelled by her honest and very relatable approach to dating and relationships. We talk about how to communicate your needs, self abandonment, self esteem, what to do when someone doesn’t text back, how to call in your partner, sex - do you wait? And so much more!
Please note: We speak mostly from a perspective of heterosexual relationships because I ask a lot about my own personal experience but this advice can be applied to anyone no matter what your sexual preference is or what type of sexual relationship you are in! This is a sexual inclusive space!
