Jillian on Love

Jillian Turecki spent two decades as a certified relationship coach before launching this podcast, and you can hear every year of that experience in the way she talks to people. The show alternates between solo episodes where Turecki breaks down patterns she sees repeatedly in her coaching practice, and live sessions where she works one-on-one with a listener on their specific relationship problem. Her central argument is that your romantic life cannot improve until your relationship with yourself does, and she returns to that idea with remarkable consistency without it ever feeling like a broken record. Episodes range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on format. Guests have included Jay Shetty and psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer, but the coaching sessions are honestly the highlight -- hearing someone get real-time guidance on their attachment issues or breakup recovery hits differently than a standard interview. She published a book called It Begins with You that covers similar ground. The show sits at 4.8 stars across 1,300-plus reviews and has 365 episodes, making it one of the more prolific relationship podcasts running right now. Listener reviews do mention heavy ad loads, and a few have pointed out limited representation of non-heterosexual relationships. But if you want coaching-style content that feels practical rather than preachy, Turecki delivers.
