About Me

I’m Jayne Turk, and I believe that everyone deserves to be happy. While you may have heard that relationships are inherently difficult, I see it differently. With better communication, relationships can be fulfilling and joyful most of the time. When communication flows smoothly, you’ll have the resilience to navigate life’s

challenges.  If every day is a struggle in your relationships, you don’t have the energy to work through hard times. 

If you find yourself caught in negative communication patterns, I’m here to help you break free, choose happiness, and embrace the power of connection without compromise.

This is a fun, friendly, and supportive space dedicated to enhancing your communication skills—because happy relationships shouldn’t be hard! Whether you’re a college student, a curious listener, or someone eager to deepen your connections, this podcast is for you.

With nearly 40 years of experience as a communication professor, I bring a kind heart, humor, and practical tools to help you master everyday interactions. Each episode debunks common myths—did you think compromise was good? Listen to “Compromise is a Dirty Word”—or teaches you skills like how to leave relationships with grace.

I’ll provide clear, step-by-step skills you can practice and perfect—because communication isn’t just theory; it’s action. Join me every Sunday night for new episodes, subscribe to my YouTube channel, and feel free to send your questions to jayne@talkturky.com.

Let’s make communication easier and prioritize your happiness together!

Remember: Better Communication Because Happy Shouldn’t Be Hard!
