The Art of Effective Communication With Jefferson Fisher

Alexia Ioannou is on the pod and I love her!! This is a fun chat about going with your gut, leading with the things you like, and learning it all as you go. Alexia reveals the influences that have shaped her vision (her mom's shoe closet!) and walks us through the process of designing her dream shoe from concept to creation.  We get into how she learned how to tune out the external noise and truly honor her own aesthetic instincts - a lesson applicable far beyond the fashion world. Sometimes the most powerful tool for success is starting small and seeing what happens when you give yourself permission to try. Love her relatability, charm, and she is here to lead us to all the best shoes. This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

The absolutely wonderful Jefferson Fisher is here and I couldn't be happier to have him on With Whit! He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to straightforward communication and he breaks down the essential elements of communication that we all can apply whether navigating difficult conversations or simply wanting to express ourselves more clearly in daily life. He goes over the most common mistakes we all make in communicating, the specific things that get under his skin personally, what works for him and his partner, and the interesting dynamics of being both a well-known person and a working trial lawyer. His book The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More offers digestible tools and specific blueprints for improving our next conversations, and after this interview I ran to download the audiobook version. There's a reason why everyone loves Jefferson Fisher! This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Join me as I sit down with Tara Hopkins, Global Director of Policy at Instagram, for an illuminating conversation about digital safety and parental peace of mind in today's social media landscape. Tara takes us behind the scenes of Instagram's Teen Accounts initiative - learn how these specialized accounts are automatically implementing protections that limit who can contact teens, the content they see, and provide parents with powerful supervision tools - including the ability to block Instagram usage during specific times and monitor messaging interactions. Tara fills me in on Meta's vision for creating safer digital spaces for young users, the development of the Screen Smart Program designed to help parents navigate difficult conversations about online safety, and the latest features being added to Teen Accounts. Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's current or future social media usage or interested in how platforms are evolving to address safety challenges, this conversation offers insights into how Meta is working to balance teen independence with necessary safeguards. This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

We have The Conscious Mom on the pod! So grateful to have had this chat with Erin Morrison - she shared all her wisdom on how parents can cultivate deeper connections with their children by leading with intention and authenticity. She gives tips for developing patience during challenging moments, taking accountability when you fall short, and modeling genuine apologies that teach kids the value of responsibility. We also discuss how prioritizing self-care isn't selfish - it's essential for showing up fully present for your family. Conscious parenting means having your kids' best interest at heart while honoring your own needs. This podcast is all about how being your authentic self gives children permission to embrace their own unique identities. Her book Three Minutes for Mom is out now and it's all about tapping into all the good stuff you already have within you. It's an absolute gem to have on your nightstand.

In this sweet episode, I sit down with Kate Terentieva for a meaningful one-on-one conversation that goes well beyond small talk. As a seasoned Creative Director, Kate has built her career on transforming creative vision into business results - and now she's applying those communication skills in a fun new way. She founded Off The Record, the world's first icebreaker specifically designed to accelerate human connection. Off The Record was created with a simple, powerful purpose: helping people feel closer to each other, opening ourselves up to the relationships we crave, and reinforcing that vulnerability is our greatest strength. This conversation explores how authentic communication can transform both our personal and professional lives in a world that often keeps us at a distance. Use my code WHIT10 for 10% off at https://playofftherecord.com/ This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
