She shares personal experience, clinical insight, and the psychology of desire to help listeners finally understand their patterns.

How to Know When It's Time to Walk Away

In this special live coaching session, Jillian speaks with a woman who is struggling to end her 17-year marriage to a good man—and wrestling with overwhelming guilt about breaking up her family. As they unpack the story, a deeper truth emerges: the real turning point wasn’t “lack of growth” or “misaligned goals,” but a painful and confusing experience in which her husband repeatedly encouraged her to date other men in hopes of fixing their intimacy. Jillian helps her name the hurt, the rejection, and the sense of being unseen that she’s been carrying alone. This conversation is a powerful look at consent, self-advocacy, and the courage required to tell the full truth—both to yourself and to your partner.
