This is the Terry Cole show and as you might have guessed I'm your host Terry Cole

For over two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist love and boundaries

expert and I'm also the founder of the Rail of Revolution and Boundary Boot Camp.

On this show I'll bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology,

inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the front lines in the fascinating

world of entertainment, empowerment, and mental health.

Now let's get going with today's episode. Well hello and welcome to the Terry Cole show I am so excited

that you are joining me today for a little bit.

And as much as I've been talking about love, it seems like for weeks,

and I have, I need to talk about love again this week because we are coming up on Valentine's Day.

So let's talk about Valentine's Day and I'm going to give you my two cents on Valentine's Day and then I'm going to give you an alternative

something else that you can do and before I give you the something else I'm going to build a case for why I'm giving you something else to do.

And hey, if you're new to this crew and you don't even know who I am, my name is Terry Cole, and I am a licensed psychotherapist, a relationship expert in the

founder of Boundary Boot Camp and Real Love Revolution. So welcome to this party if you have not been here before.

All right, moving into, let's start with annually,

Red Roses emit about 9,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide on Valentine's Day.

So that's bad for the environment, not to mention a friggin waste of money, but I don't know.

I don't get the flowers thing I know people do

no judge I like living plants if I can keep them alive not my best suit either but I try

another thing I don't like about Valentine's Day is that it's really not about love.

It's about romance, which is different.

So I don't love that. Not that I don't love romance, I do, but I don't need a designated day to be romantic.
