Wow!
I’m not sure I’ve ever felt seen by a book before, but I do now! Jillian’s gentle, encouraging and plain talking style enfolds a book that’s packed with practical advice. She is the best friend / Mum / therapist you never knew you needed till now and likely will never walk away from.Thank you, Jillian.

Illuminating and Actionable
This book was easy to read, digest, and apply. I’ve been doing a lot of work on loving and choosing myself and yet this book with its many real life examples, made me feel really seen. We’re not alone in feeling not enough. We’re not alone in having failing relationships. The steps given in the book is actionable and will create the changes we want to see in our relationships or future relationships. The hardest part for me is opening myself up again to all the things I’ll inevitably deal with in a new relationship, but I just will trust that I’m now better equipped. Get this book! Your heart ♥️ will thank you.

This book is recommended for everybody it helps with self love.
I absolutely loved this book. It helped with understanding myself better and it was so enganging. I love this book. It really helped me to understand how important I am and it helped me cope with my recent divorce and it helped self worth. Not to mention it came intact and not destroyed or leaky.

Jillian is the friend & coach we all need
I can’t say enough positive things about this book. Jillian is an intuitive, wise, real, and compassionate coach. She shares many real-life stories, including some vulnerable experiences from her own life. I could see myself or others I know in many. Through each story, I learned how to overcome similar personal struggles or how to better support & speak wisdom into those that are going through it.Empowering and practical. A book I will be recommending to every person.

Wee disappointed.
I’ve loved Jillian’s Instagram and podcast for ages, so was really looking forward to her book coming out. Unfortunately, a little disappointed… was surprised how many anecdotes were about Jillian herself, and it was quite distracting from the content. Many of the anecdotes seemed quite repetitive, too, and started to feel like a therapist that talks about herself in session. Eek! Apart from that, I underlined quite a few things, and did derive value from the content. Just not a knock out addition to my collection like I’d been hoping it would be.

After following Jillian on social media and finding her posts both insightful and helpful, I was excited to learn of the upcoming release of this book when it was announced. The book does not disappoint. I have read many books on relationships, attachment styles, and interpersonal communication, but none resonated with me the way this book has. It’s written in very accessible and easy-to-read language, peppers in the author’s own personal experiences, and largely conveys the various concepts through client case studies to reinforce and provide context to the information.Many of the books I have read on related areas focus heavily on the relationship and how to navigate various scenarios and situations. What I found extremely helpful about Jillian’s approach was her ability to present and clearly demonstrate how our own preprogrammed patterns and experiences are often the root cause, usually subconsciously, of most of our heartache and interpersonal turmoil. Though many of the concepts seem logical and almost obvious, most of them are things we take for granted or ignore, and Jillian was able to turn the spotlight back around on myself and illuminate these glaring behaviours and beliefs. For the first time I really saw myself in many of the situations presented, and was able to recognize these traits and associated patterns to myself and my partners in past relationships. Mind blown – it really clicked with me and made so much sense, and I have already been able to implement and integrate some of the advice. Still a long way to go, but I found so much value and wisdom in the pages – I have already gifted a copy to someone very close.Jillian’s light and easy style combined with so much powerful information makes this a MUST-read for anyone hoping to improve their existing or future relationships. Easily the most profoundly helpful book I have read on the subject.

This is the best self help book I’ve ever read. As the title suggests – it begins with us. We must look at our whole selves in order to enact positive change in our love lifes. Jillian’s teachings make taking responsibility for this a fun and exciting prospect rather than something that feels scary and unachievable.I really recommend completing the self-reflection questions at the end of each chapter (or each truth) before you move onto the next, as it consolidates what you have read. The questions/prompts really make you think about yourself and your own love life to a depth that is hard to achieve on your own without guidance.Thank you Jillian – I am so grateful for your work and wisdom. I will be returning to this book for years to come and recommending it to loved ones whether they are single or in a relationship – as the work doesn’t stop once you find a partner! I think this will quickly become a classic in the self-help field.
