“Jillian Turecki has written a deeply compassionate yet no-nonsense guide to love, healing, and self-worth. ‘It Begins with You’ doesn’t sugarcoat — it challenges you to grow. Her 9 truths are each a mirror, revealing what we must face in ourselves to experience true connection. The chapters on lust vs love, inner narratives, and family-of-origin healing particularly standout.Whether you're single, heartbroken, or navigating long-term love, this book is a roadmap — not to the perfect relationship, but to the most powerful version of you.Highly recommended for readers of Stan Tatkin, Brené Brown, and anyone ready to break cycles and build emotional resilience.

A must read for literally everyone I believe. I know I will come back to reading this if I’m ever having the feeling my life and/or my relationships aren’t feeling aligned . So easy to read and honest examples of navigating relationship with self and therefore others. Authentic, highly relatable and practical .

There is nothing new to the book that you haven’t seen or read before BUT it really hit me! The book captures the 9 truths in such a great order and provides relatable examples so that everything just added up for me. Maybe it was also the right time when I read the book - being open and accepting of the truths. Cannot recommend enough!!!

Great, straight talking truth bombs to help with self awareness, personal growth and healing.Well structured, short chapters with no unnecessary fluff

Interesting read

I listened along to the audible version with this and wowsers, it’s a tough read/listen, but in a healthy ‘this’ll help me grow’ way.There’s some great relatable stories and clear explanations as to how and why we repeat unhelpful habits in relationships as well as how to break the cycles! I feel lots helped me immensely.Nothing new I guess, but I resonated most with how it’s told.

One of the best books I ever read on the topic of how to better love oneself and others, and how everything begins with ourselves.

The book is so easy to read . Great insights about relationships and how to ne yourself. Amazing book.
