Attachment is a drug. And most of us are out here completely addicted to people we just met. After 3 months of slowing down in Brazil, really connecting to nature and looking at how I date and how much of my attraction has been coming from dopamine and oxytocin rather than actual clarity, I recorded this episode just for the girlies. This is the raw, real, personal solocast about how to date in the early phases without getting super attached from the get-go. And yes, how to stop going psycho around someone you just met. In this episode we explore: 💊 Why attachment is literally a drug and what it does to your brain and body 🦋 What butterflies actually are and why they are not always a good sign 🍺 The beer goggles effect and how chemistry makes us ignore incompatibilities 🚩 Why casual sex is a myth for women and what oxytocin is actually doing to you 💌 How to know the difference between love and attachment 🏃🏽‍♀️Why you should go half as fast as you want to in early dating ✨ How to get clear on your actual priorities before you catch feelings 🌹 Why the right person will be obsessed with the very thing you think is too much This one goes in the group chat immediately.
