Episode #07: The Truth About Dating Older Men
from Stay True, Stay Empowered Podcast · host Teresa May Bandiola
In this first video podcast episode, I share my journey of dating older men, not for status, but in search of emotional depth, maturity, and connection. I’m not talking just a couple years older... I mean 8, 9, 13, 16, even 23 years older. Through each relationship, I discovered that age doesn’t guarantee emotional readiness, and that my own need for stability sometimes led me to ignore red flags. I’ve learned that true love isn’t about how many years someone has lived, but how present, self-aware, and aligned they are with your growth and values.
