Loved this episode! Have been waiting for this. I would love another one on the major betrayal. More on how Jimmy & his wife worked through the infedelity. I am 2 year post affair and we haven’t done marriage counseling. He still has occasionally worked with affair partner. He listens to the reels and podcasts I have sent him. He likes you guys but I think he gets overwhelmed with his guilt and shame. I am trying to forgive and trust again. There was also other betrayals that happened since the affair that set us back from initial progress. Anyway I just loved this episode and will be listening to the second half especially again. Thank you! Love your show and all your reels too! 🥰

Would it be a good idea to have on the outdoor Therapist?

Wow- do you guys always talk over each other? It’s so hard to follow and so disrespectful.

I really love listening to Rikki and Jimmy speak about relationships. I also love that they’re not agreeing on everything and can talk about their differences in opinions. It’s refreshing to have both male and female insight on what a healthy relationship means for them. Keep it up!!

This is the most transformational content I’ve heard on how to do relationships right. Your work is critical for my marriage at this time. You’re answering so many of my questions that seemed so impossible before hearing your show. I have hope now that we may be able to repair and heal our marriage. Thank you!

I love your podcast so much. Please don’t ever stop making content🙏🏽🙌🏽 I share your show with everyone I know🩷🩷🩷

I’m not sure why people are saying Rikki is the one who interrupts, but in my opinion, it’s Jimmy who constantly speaks over you, Rikki. It’s actually quite frustrating to the point where I’m considering not listening anymore. I’ve been a fan since I found Jimmy on TikTok while going through my divorce, and while the information you both share is fantastic, the constant interruptions make it hard to enjoy the content. I really hope the dynamic improves because the potential for a great show is definitely there.

As the title states, love you show. My wife and I just started from the beginning of your podcast again because there are so many rich tidbits in here. Anytime you want to take one subject and deep dive into it, I’m here for it. Understanding who we are, what we do and what we need in relationship brings breath to my body.

Anyone in a romantic relationship would benefit from listening to this. Seriously. Probably also people who aren’t in romantic relationships but have roommates, kids, friends, family, colleagues… if you interact with other people on a regular basis, check this out!

The most Helpful the best relationship podcast out there. I found through jimmys videos. My only critique is to really work on not cutting each other off and interrupting especially rikki.

Love your show! Super informative. How do I email you about the Easter egg? Can’t find your email address anywhere!

I love the show and the content, but it is really hard to make sense of it when you both keep interrupting each other. It’s not necessary for Rikki to continually say “um-hum” when Jimmy is speaking, we don’t need to “hear” your active listening. It’s very distracting. Otherwise the content is great and very relatable, thank you for sharing.

Great podcast. I’m binging it. It’s helping me understand myself and my role in my relationship. Only on episode 9, but looking forward to the rest. BTW, I’m a 44 male and not Frank.

I enjoy learning about communication and rebuilding relationships because I have a lot to learn. I am concerned about Jimmy constantly interrupting and interjecting his viewpoint. I can barely hear what Rikki has to say.

You both are very excited to talk about relationships and very passionate about how we can communicate with our partners. I like how you share your honest life experiences here and prove us that healthy relationships are work but very doable too. I love listening and learning from both you.

This “emergency” episode on “I’m not allowed to feel disrespected” was your best yet! (And I’ve enjoyed all your episodes to date) Jimmy was FIRED UP! But it led to such great discussion and I saw both sides of the issue and came away with great tips for different ways to approach conflict. And I love that it was the raw, real discussion that wasn’t discussed ahead of time! I also love the idea that there are “beginner” and “advanced” ways to approach conflict. Seriously, I loved every second of this! (Even the toddler interruptions at the end, so real!)

Rikki, you’re fantastic and wise, but please be mindful of how much you interrupt Jimmy! It’s probably not something you’re aware of, but it seems like you just can’t wait to jump in there when he’s not quite finished. A little space in between responding after the other has completed their thought/point would be better.

I’ve been wanting to write in for quite a while and am finally taking the time! The two of you have opened my eyes to so many things in my relationship with my husband. I understand myself and him more just from listening to the two of you! The only complaint I have is that you don’t record new podcasts often enough! ❤️ Also, how do I send in questions? Thanks!

Good info. Rikki asked to not leave comments about this I get the enthusiasm when talking, but it's really difficult when you don't get to hear people finish their thoughts, have to track the next person's divergent thought never return to the first - leaves a lot of open loops in the brain. It seems reasonable to want them to allow each other to finish a point and THEN offer their additions or counter-perspective so we can hear ALL of it without interference. It's not a judgment - it's constructive feedback on how to be in better relationship with your LISTENERS, and is similar to the advice they give to listeners on how to improve their intimate relationships so find it kind of funny they don’t see that’s what listeners are asking them to do with them. People are just pointing out that editing allowing each other to finish their sentences before interjecting might make the awesome information they both have to share that much stronger.

I felt helpless and started searching for relationship podcasts. This was great. I love the references used—easy to find books accessible at my local library. Solid information and two very easy to listen to hosts.

I love this podcast so much! I’ve listened to every episode and need MORE! It seriously has helped in so many aspects of my relationship. I understand myself and my partner better ❤️ Also I would LOVE to hear Rikki and Jimmy cover a reality dating show like the ultimatum or love is blind 🤣 I think that would be hilarious

Found Jimmy on Facebook. I have so totally related to all his videos. Just listened to the first episode and can’t wait to hear more. I recently discovered attachment theory and started exploring this with my therapist. Thank you both for this podcast.

Just listened to #11 about anxious/avoidant dance- I can totally relate. It’s like you two were lurking in my life the past few years! Excellent info!

I just finished all of your episodes and I’m obsessed. I consider myself to be in a strong relationship with my husband, but there is always room for improvement. I love going back to my husband and sharing your thoughts. Thank you for such an insightful podcast!

You both have such good things to teach us. But constantly interrupting each other is hard to listen to. Let each other finish their thought and I think it would be better. Or maybe y’all need your own podcasts?

I’m learning so much!

They are so accurate! They do such a great job of bringing very nonjudgmental awareness to the dynamics of relationship struggles, and ways to cope and grow. Highly recommend. They always joke about being over an hour long but even if they went three hours I'd still listen!

I’ve been following Jimmie on Relationships for a little while now. Really liked the advice and how things were made clear. However, I don’t know if it’s just me, or if guys aren’t getting the recognition they’re due. I’m a dude (not Frank) and I’m the one that turned my wife on to this podcast. Anyway, great work you two, thank you, and keep it up!

I just want to say, thank you for creating this podcast! It’s really helped me understand myself and my ex better. I’m really looking forward to exercising some of your all’s advice in my future relationship and even my current relationships with friends and family. It has opened my eyes to better understand how people think and how to better communicate and empathize with them. Keep up the good work 😊

I would love to know your thoughts on ADHD in the relationship? Is it to blame for majority of the problems? I know it can be difficult at times, there’s times I can stand myself because of my ADHD, but I don’t think I’m to blame for almost all our issues. Maybe you two don’t know much about ADHD, if that’s the case, no worries! Thank you

I found jimmy on tiktok and ever since i’ve been interested into the show and all the information that i get out of it, the two of you are doing an amazing job and i really appreciate it, the only part i don't like is how often Rikki interrupt Jimmy’s input with her little comments that i know she’s not doing on purpose but i feel like its affecting Jimmy and definitely affecting me as a listener… other than that i just love every minute.

I like this podcast and can gain much good info. But it would be better in my opinion if Rikki let Jimmy complete his thoughts. Her comments and interruptions don’t add much in my opinion but creates a non peaceful listening experience. I don’t think she means to do this. So wanting to raise aware or criticize her.

I found Jimmy on TikTok and when I saw this podcast I had to listen. I didn’t know Rikki before this but now I want her as my best friend. This topic feels like something I’ve been searching for since my first divorce (I’ve had two 😳) and I’m so glad to have stumbled on it in the early stages of your endeavor. Thank you for this collaboration and willingness to share your “expertise” on relationships. I shared the first podcast with three friends already and have the next ones lined up. The connection between the two of you works for me. I’m in that place where “when the student is ready, the teacher will come”. I’m ready to learn more about this and your guidance is appreciated. Thank you. Please keep it up!

My sister sent me a TikTok of Jimmy’s. I instantly felt slightly less crazy, and not so alone. It’s weird how it just clicked! Im currently in the most miserable relationship Ive ever been in (Im 50, not so new to the relationship world) Helpless and hopeless are the best words to describe my situation. I could go on and on but all I can say is LISTEN!

I love that this podcast gets right to the point. No small talk to get started. The two hosts work well together and give great insight and advice.
