What do you think is the biggest dating mistake people make?
Have you ever chased someone who wasn’t right for you?
In today’s episode, Jay welcomes relationship coach, teacher, and podcast host Jillian Turecki to break down the biggest dating mistakes people make. They dive into why relying too much on dating apps can lead to burnout, how the fear of rejection holds you back, and why being single is often better than staying in the wrong relationship.
Jillian unpacks why we’re drawn to people who don’t want us while ignoring those who do. She explains how past relationship patterns, toxic dynamics, and a false sense of intimacy create cycles that keep us stuck. They also explore the fine line between honesty and oversharing, how to repair trust after dishonesty, and self-reflection exercises to heal after a breakup.

The 3 biggest dating mistakes and how to fix them.
Why relying on dating apps alone can hurt your love life.
How the fear of rejection and loneliness affect attraction.
Why do we chase people who ignore us?
When honesty becomes oversharing in relationships.
How to repair trust and reflect after a breakup.
