    Apr 21 2026

    Chemistry can feel powerful, exciting, and deeply meaningful, but it's not the same thing as character.

She also unpacks what healthy chemistry actually is, why unhealthy chemistry can still feel compelling, and how this confusion shows up not only in dating, but also in committed relationships and marriages. If you’ve ever treated a strong pull as proof, this episode is for you.
