Summary

Noticing that the type of people you're attracted to has changed recently? Let's break down the science behind why this is!

 

In this week's episode, my dear friend, Rosie Acosta and I are diving into the science of attraction. (Disclaimer: this is OUR science of attraction that you can't find anywhere else 😉) Rosie is an expert in attraction after having been in a beautiful 20-year relationship and I love exploring this topic with her as a newly single spiritual woman as I am re-navigating what it means to date as a conscious person in the modern age. You'll be getting a nice taste of our mixed perspectives throughout this conversation. 

 

In this episode, we talk about dating apps and how they only reveal the smallest percentage of who someone truly is and how they can be de-humanizing, how birth control pills can impact your attraction towards someone, specific qualities that both males and females are drawn to, how to give yourself permission to evolve in a relationship, our beliefs around marriage, and SOUL much more around relationships and attraction. 

 

If you're like me and wonder why we are attracted to certain people and not others, and why our type changes as we mature and heal – you're going to adore this episode (regardless of what your relationship status is!) Plus you'll feel like a fly on the wall listening to two spiritual besties have an extremely unfiltered and hilarious conversation.
