  • What To Do When Someone Pulls Away

    What To Do When Someone Pulls Away
    Jun 23 2026
    After 33 years of marriage, a woman called in to ask what she should do when her husband won't hug her—and becomes angry when she asks. And y'all, that question opened the door to some really honest conversations about hurt, loneliness, and what we do when the people closest to us don't show up the way we need them to. We also talk about how to deal with intentionally mean people, helping teenagers stand up to bullies, navigating estrangement with an adult child, rebuilding trust after addiction, and how to know whether something is truly wrong in a relationship or if you're simply questioning yourself.

  • The Conversation Every Couple Needs During Hard Seasons ft. Claire Holt

    The Conversation Every Couple Needs During Hard Seasons ft. Claire Holt
    Jun 19 2026
    I sat down with Claire Holt to talk about something we all face sooner or later: what happens when life changes and you don't quite recognize yourself anymore. We talked about motherhood, marriage, guilt, career changes, and the pressure we put on ourselves to have all the answers right now. Claire shared what helped her navigate resentment, uncertainty, and the fear of losing her identity—and what she's learned about giving yourself grace along the way. If you're in a season of change, trying to support a partner through one, or wrestling with some hard questions of your own, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone and a little more equipped to handle the conversations that matter most.

  • Stop Apologizing For Things You Didn't Do

    Stop Apologizing For Things You Didn't Do
    Jun 16 2026
    In this episode, I take your calls. We start with a mom whose daughter-in-law has pulled her son away and left her apologizing for things she never did... and the words to stop. Then I get into how to respond when someone asks "why'd you do it like that," how to handle a boss who's just mean, and what to say when someone wants to talk politics and you don't agree. The thread running through all of it: you don't have to keep saying sorry to keep the peace. If you're tired of being the one who always backs down, this episode is for you.

I love the way Jefferson breaks each episode down into a specific thing to tackle, giving examples and actionable tips to use.

Thanks for your expertise and insights Jefferson, I really think this stuff is life changing whilst being mainly small, simple changes!

I can't wait to see how much more confident I feel in some of these situations now.

In fact, I used a few of your tips in a business networking session this morning, and also passed some of your tips on to other local small business owners to help them too!

The ripple effect of this work is mind blowing. You rock 🥳🍾🍻

An easy listen and so helpful

I came across your posts on instagram and have been hooked ever since. I blurt out responses and continue to talk and talk and talk. Taking a breath is the key for me, it’s my first word, a breath, what a revelation. My brain runs at a million miles an hour, late diagnosis of ADHD has given me clarity about the way I communicate. Your podcasts are perfect for me, your clear and use simple language and techniques. I fill silence with fluff, I’m going to practice getting comfortable with silence. Thank you, you have made a huge difference to my life
