Most of us spend our lives in conversation - yet very few of us are ever taught how to communicate well. Whether it’s with our partners, colleagues, family or friends, we often assume that being heard is the same as being understood. But true communication isn’t just about the words we use - it’s about the tone, timing and energy behind them.

This week’s guest believes that better communication can transform not only our relationships, but our health and happiness as well.

Jefferson Fisher is a trial lawyer, a sought after public speaker and the author of the brand new book, The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why good communication is about more than just words
The three essential principles to better communication
How to shift from reaction to reflection by making your first word your breath
What it means to “control the moment”
How to use the “I can tell…” framework to defuse tension
Why silence can be a superpower, when used correctly
How ego, fear and unspoken emotion are often the real reason for arguments

This isn’t just an episode about talking. It’s about how to listen better, show up with more intention, and move from conflict to connection – one breath, one moment, one conversation at a time. I hope you enjoy listening.
