When I picked up Jillian Turecki's "It Begins with You," I kept thinking: where was this book 12 years ago? I had to learn these dating lessons the hard way - depression, CPTSD, the whole mess. Zero out of 10, do not recommend learning it that way.

The book breaks down 9 hard truths about dating and relationships:

• The mind is a battlefield - limiting beliefs like "my type's not my type" block you from finding someone and showing up fully
• Knowing theory versus embodying knowledge - revisiting concepts when you're healed (not in crisis) is when they actually sink in
• Learn from other people's mistakes through client stories and journaling prompts instead of living through the pain yourself

I've been single for a thousand years at this point. I get hit on once every three business years. People have called me intimidating my whole life (I just have resting bitch face). And I feel behind sometimes because I rarely get to practice these relationship skills. But that's exactly why books like this matter - you can learn before you need it.

Subscribe. Share. Remember that other people's hard-earned lessons can save you years of heartbreak.

Small steps, big healing. Keep growing! ✨
