63 - Older Men ... Younger Women
Are you newly single and finding it hard to meet a man your own age? Are you starting to feel past your prime and beginning to believe the old adage that all men are attracted to younger women? On this week's show, Del and Barry discuss why some men are attracted to younger women. Besides the initial physical attraction, men often tell us there's less baggage to contend with when dating a younger person. There are no ex-husbands or children to compete with. Plus, they feel revitalized by their new partner's youthful energy and enthusiasm for life. This can be especially true if the man is experiencing a midlife crisis and wants to avoid feeling his age.Send us a Text Message.We hope you enjoyed the episode.

60 - Unconditional Love
Do you believe unconditional love means continuing to love someone no matter what? Even when their behavior becomes abusive or causes you harm? If so, you are mistaken. In this week's episode, Del and Barry discuss the difference between Codependency and Unconditional Love. Loving someone unconditionally means that you love them without judgment; it doesn't mean you have to accept abuse. On the contrary, unconditional love embodies empathy, forgiveness, and acceptance, but not at the expense of your well-being. It does not mean suffering in silence while someone walks all over you. It means loving them while maintaining healthy boundaries. Sometimes, love is not enough to make a relationship work.Send us a Text Message.We hope you enjoyed the episode.

59 - Is it Love or Enabling
Do you find it hard to maintain healthy boundaries with a loved one engaging in destructive behavior? Do you love someone so much that you fear losing them if you were to hold them to the consequences you've given them? If so, you may inadvertently be enabling them. In this week's show, Del and Barry discuss the differences between love and enabling. Enabling involves inadvertently supporting destructive behaviors out of fear or guilt, which hinders personal growth and maintains dependencies. Meanwhile, love embraces accountability and growth and empowers individuals to thrive independently, fostering healthier relationships and personal development.Send us a Text Message.We hope you enjoyed the episode.

58 - The Shadow
Do you find yourself overly judgmental of others? Does other people's behavior easily trigger you? Are there certain aspects of your personality that you would rather keep hidden? If so, you may be coming up against your Shadow. In this week's show, Del and Barry discuss the concept of The Shadow, first introduced by psychologist Carl Jung. Jung explains how the Shadow represents the unconscious aspects of an individual's personality, often comprising repressed desires, emotions, and traits deemed unacceptable or incompatible with one's self-image. If unrecognized and unaddressed, the darker, unacknowledged facets of the psyche can manifest in destructive behaviors or projections onto others, hindering personal growth and psychological integration.Send us a Text Message.We hope you enjoyed the episode.
