The Sabrina Zohar Show
About this episode
Want to know if you should stay or walk away from a relationship? In this weeks episode, Sabrina Zohar welcomes relationship expert and author Jillian Turecki for a raw and honest conversation about love, relationships, and knowing when to stay or walk away. Jillian shares her personal journey through a difficult marriage and divorce, which ultimately led her to become obsessed with understanding what makes relationships truly work. Through her vulnerability, she reveals how her own experience of receiving a divorce text while having a miscarriage and losing her mother became the catalyst for her transformation and expertise in helping others navigate their relationship journeys.

Sabrina and Jillian also explore the nuances of feeling safe in relationships, the importance of core values in long-term partnerships, and why potential shouldn't be the primary attraction to a partner. The conversation concludes with a rapid-fire segment addressing common relationship questions, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern relationships and how to navigate them authentically.
