What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve really enjoyed this podcast in the past, particularly the episodes focused on communication, relationships, and navigating difficult interpersonal situations. But lately, the call-in format seems to have taken a turn that I find increasingly difficult to understand. People are now calling in with incredibly serious situations. And I find myself wondering why these people are turning to a podcast for help with problems of this magnitude. Jefferson is a lawyer, and he clearly has useful knowledge and experience to share, but he isn’t a psychologist, addiction specialist, domestic violence professional, or emergency responder. There are situations where thoughtful communication advice is appropriate, and then there are situations where someone needs qualified professional help and potentially immediate intervention. I don’t blame Jefferson for trying to help people who reach out. I’m more baffled by the fact that people facing these kinds of crises are looking to a podcast host to solve problems that really require specialized professional support. I hope the podcast can find its way back toward the type of communication and relationship advice that made it interesting in the first place

Slsf78 · Sep 2026

Jefferson consistently helps me with tools that I can use immediately through this podcast and his book. I appreciate the way he dignifies our conversation foibles with grace and kindness.

Bethie D · Sep 2026

Jefferson has such a warm and relatable way of communicating. His advice feels genuine, practical, and easy to connect with. Every episode leaves me with something meaningful to think about.

Falcons24!! · Aug 2026

Spot on assessment of ways to respond to a grieving person in Never say “Let me know if“ episode. Thank you for these insights.

DMThomas88 · Jul 2026

The older episodes of this podcast are fantastic and full of highly actionable advice. Then the tone began to shift to include religious commentary. Extremely disappointed, unsubscribed.
