Samantha’s friend and former colleague, Joanna Hardis, LISW-S, joins the pod to talk about her new book “Just Do Nothing: A Paradoxical Guide to Getting Out of Your Way”. Joanna is a local cognitive behavioral therapist who treats adults with anxiety disorders and OCD spectrum disorder. As you will hear, her book came from her own personal situation, when she had to apply the skills she teaches others to herself and her life. As relates to mid-life dating and relationships (and just life in general), she shares tips and tools in her book and in her (free!) mini-course for identifying what makes you anxious and the resulting reactions and behaviors that have become your automatic response through the years which may not be serving you well. She shares that you can train yourself to “do nothing” when chaotic feelings and thoughts start coming up so that you can better engage in experiences and situations that you might normally avoid or try to control.

Menopause and aging are coming out of the shadows with Gen X and Boomer celebrities talking candidly about it publicly and on social media and women reacting to ageist and misogynistic commentary making too many headlines these days. To start a conversation about this, we asked Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg to join us. She is a clinical psychologist and researcher at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center where she is the Chief of the Division on Behavioral Medicine in the Department of OB-GYN and professor of reproductive biology, urology and psychiatry at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. She is an expert in female sexual disorders, menopause and reproductive mental health and has been working in this field for over 30 years.
Tune in to learn about GSM (genitourinary symptoms ofmenopause), which she says 50-80% of women will develop symptoms of, and HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) and the array of treatments we are likelynot even aware of.

Cathy and her childhood neighbor and BFF, Kirsten,reconnected a few years ago on Facebook after having lost touch for 30 (ish) years. The first thing Cathy noticed was that Kirsten was recently married and the man she married was the young man Cathy vividly remembered Kirsten being crazy for in high school. Kirsten shares her story of finding her way back to her first love, both having been through a few marriages and some hard times. She talks about what is different in their relationship now and how it's working out, eleven years in.

Hadley Wood, MD, Professor of Urology at Cleveland Clinic, joins us to discuss the basics of physical issues related to sex and sexuality that affect men over 50. It’s a technical and informative conversation touching on vasectomies, erectile dysfunction, the prostate, andropause and other fun stuff that wasn’t covered in 7th grade health class. We learned a lot and hopefully you will too.

Caroline from Season 1 Episode 17 is back for a repeat engagement with RBL. She and Samantha are both on the dating apps this summer and we talk about how it’s going and what we're afraid of. We also focus on The Burned Haystack Dating Method ™ (BHDM) and the varying degrees to which they are employing the method. BHDM is a method for women (who date men and are looking for a relationship on the dating apps), that claims to result in better quality(and likely far fewer) dates. BHDM founder Jennie Young, PhD, is not a dating coach or dating consultant, she is a writer and a professor of English and explores rhetoric, language and metaphor analysis and how it applies to dating in these times and happily shares it with anyone who is interested through her social media platforms.

Cathy's cousin Tricia joins RBL today and shares her story of making her way back to Hawaii post-divorce to build a new life for herself. Hawaii was one of the many places her husband’s military career had taken their family and when it was time to move from there to the next location, she knew she would be back someday. After her marriage ended while stationed overseas 11 years ago, she moved back the states with her three boys and over several years took steps toward her dream to get herself back toHawaii, where she finally arrived in 2019, knowing no one. In her new life, she’s living as she chooses--catching waves, doing meaningful work, thriving in her relationshipand loving the people, the weather and the culture of the islands.

The episode in which we talk about sex with two guys we just met. Our guests Lance and Matt are the hosts of “Seniors 94” a podcast about “middle aged men and their feelings”. Lance is married to his high school sweetheart and Matt is separated from his wife and sorting all that out. It was a fun conversation for us (warning! not our usual PG content) and after sharing our individualstories, we got into post-marriage sex & intimacy, and communicating with new partners about STDs and preferences. “Seniors 94” also featured a versionof our conversation on their recent podcast episode, so be sure to check them out on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Our guest, Dan, has learned that making marriage and lovelast is an “act of will”. Dan met his wife 20 years ago on e-Harmony when they were both 58 and divorced. He fell in love with her and her artwork (and her artwork, incidentally, is how Samantha met Dan and convinced him to join us on RBL). Despite him living in Alabama and she in Michigan, they worked it out and are still working it out today. Dan shares that, at 78, he’s grateful for the opportunity to reflect on his past relationships and is learning to understand how his expectations of marriageand partnership perhaps did not serve him, his partners, or his relationships, well in the past. At this point in his life and his marriage he’s learned that a happy marriage doesn’t mean that you both have to be happy all the time and have identical thoughts and interests.

Guest Caroline joins us to discuss a listener question aboutwhere to go on a first date and we get into over-planned dates, spontaneous dates, coffee dates, the friend zone, “cuffing season”, and the possibility of a misshapen eggplant.
We discuss the uncertainty we all are living with in the world right now, post-pandemic virtual burnout which has resulted in our disinterest in the dating app logarithms and our desire for seeking out friendship and/or love with others IRL.
