Chapter 1: What challenges arise when my sister marries a man in prison for murder?

5.737 - 18.105 Gail (Megan's Mom)

My sister recently met and married a man serving a life sentence for first degree murder. She kept their entire relationship a secret until she just texted me a picture of her wedding band and told me that she got married.

18.805 - 20.326 Dr. John Delony

I don't think that's the actual issue.

0

20.526 - 20.946 Gail (Megan's Mom)

I hope not.

0

20.966 - 47.446 Dr. John Delony

Can I tell you what I think the actual issue is and you can tell me if I'm wrong? Yo, yo, yo, what's up? This is John with the Dr. John Deloney Show. So grateful that you've joined us. The greatest relationships and mental and emotional health show ever. That's not true by a long shot. But if you just keep saying it, I'm telling you, if you just keep saying it, evidently it all just becomes true.

47.926 - 63.53 Dr. John Delony

It doesn't even have to be true anymore. So glad that you were with us for more than two decades. I've been sitting with hurting people trying to figure out what's the next right move or help them figure out what's the next right move. And if that sounds like something you want to be a part of, you want to sit down with me and we can figure out what's the next thing.

64.23 - 79.155 Dr. John Delony

Next thing to do in your world, give me a buzz. 1-844-693-3291 or go to johndeloney.com slash ask. A-S-K. I see you all in the booth laughing at me. Am I doing something? What did I do wrong? No.

79.415 - 80.296 Producer/Assistant (unspecified)

You're good. You're good.

81.076 - 81.936 Dr. John Delony

What's what I do?

82.316 - 84.617 Producer/Assistant (unspecified)

Your shirt just has an image on it.

Chapter 2: How can I have a difficult conversation with my sister about her marriage?

957.455 - 979.251 Dr. John Delony

They're almost always super clear eyed. Like, yeah, of course, I understand that you want some space between me and your kids. That's not a problem. I'm not going to come over for Thanksgiving. I get it. I totally get it. Totally get it. And I want to honor the temperature of your household. I'm not going to show up there. So, yeah, I would love her the best I can.

0

979.271 - 1004.933 Dr. John Delony

And when you think confrontation is coming, then be super clear and have a goal for the meeting. But I think before any of that goes on, you need to exhale and just be sad for a little bit because I wish everyone could have an aunt like my sister. Everyone, I wish. And you don't have that. I'm sorry. That breaks my heart for you. Thanks for the call, my friend. We'll be right back.

1007.23 - 1030.378 Dr. John Delony

All right, let's talk about cozy earth. In my house, I would prefer to go to sleep somewhere just south of the Arctic Circle. I like it cold. My wife, on the other hand, she would prefer to sleep on the surface of the sun. We can't agree on sleep temperature, but we can both agree on how much we love our cozy earth sheets. I don't know how they do it.

0

1030.558 - 1049.01 Dr. John Delony

It's some kind of temperature jujitsu, but she stays comfortable on her side of the bed and I stay comfortable on my side of the bed with our cozy earth sheets and we're both happy. And it won't shock you to know that before I started learning more about bedding, I thought sheets were sheets were just sheets. I've come to learn that all sheets are not created equal.

1049.03 - 1069.497 Dr. John Delony

There's a wide range of quality from that awful cheap old fitted sheet I slept on in college to masterfully crafted sheets created with softness, strength, and comfort throughout. Cozy Earth is not just another bed sheet company. They make their sheets out of viscose from bamboo. You just have to experience how soft their sheets are to fully understand the difference.

1069.737 - 1100.972 Dr. John Delony

Let's talk about Delete.me, my go-to provider for online safety, security, and peace of mind.

1101.252 - 1118.96 Dr. John Delony

Don't skip past this. Listen, we all know that we live on the internets these days. Our whole lives are on the internets, and I wish this was not the case, but it doesn't matter if I wish it wasn't the case. It just is. Everything we do takes place on the internet. Our work, our personal messages and communications, because so much of our life exists on the internet now.

1119.92 - 1139.492 Dr. John Delony

It should become normal to give away our email addresses to random companies, to give our phone numbers away to random companies, and those companies turn around and sell our information to other companies. This is why I'm happy to use and recommend Delete.me. I looked at my reports from my friends at Delete.me. Listen, they reviewed over 35,000 different data brokers.

1142.093 - 1162.5 Dr. John Delony

35,000 data brokers that had my personal information and they've removed my personal information from hundreds of scammy data broker sites. Delete Me has saved me countless hours, days even, and they've sent me detailed reports throughout the year showing me exactly what they've removed, when they remove them, and from who. I want you to have this kind of peace too.
