Transforming your love life begins with changing the story you believe about your worth.
Our childhood directly influences how we love and who we love. As adults, we are left to make sense of how our early experiences continue to impact our relationships, our choices, and the way we feel about ourselves. But understanding the past is only the beginning. The deeper work is learning how to love yourself, trust yourself, and make conscious choices that are no longer dictated by old wounds.
Bestselling relationship expert Jillian Turecki has unlocked the door to healthy relationships: Unfinished business from the past holds us back, but we have the power to rewrite these stories, break painful patterns, and open ourselves to the secure, lasting love we deserve.

- Accept yourself and become securely attached
