ANECDOTE

Back In The Car — And A Lost Recording

  • Jefferson recorded this episode in his car as a throwback to where he started podcasting.
  • He also accidentally lost an earlier 30-minute recording due to an SD card issue, so he re-recorded from the truck.
INSIGHT

New Relationship Means New Seasons

  • 'New relationships' can mean reinventing your connection with the same people across seasons of life.
  • Long relationships change and can be reborn, so treat them as growing rather than static.
ADVICE

  • When reopening estranged relationships, send a short audio message that uses three brief moves: 'I know,' 'I'm not,' and 'I'm willing.'
  • Keep it simple, avoid blaming, and emphasize that you're willing to listen whenever they're ready.
