Summary

This is a Fan Fav episode. As much as you hate to admit it, relationships are vital to our happiness and success in life. The relationship you have with yourself , your romantic partner, your family, friends and co-workers dictate more than you can imagine. Dr. Molly Maloof, author of The Spark Factor, believes in relationships and connections so much she’s created a lecture for Stanford University called Live Better Longer. She touches on the value of social connection and its impact on long-term health and disease. Molly talks with Lisa in this episode and runs down the power of love, what intense romantic love feels like, and an entire masterclass on sexual desire and arousal. The fact that Molly ranks love in the same category of needs as thirst and hunger says a lot. In addition to unpacking the power of love, Molly also covers the power a loss of love has on your physical and mental health. So much of her explanation fills the voids we have in understanding why a bad break can make us feel crazy and do things out of character.

0:26.2	My girl, Molly Maloof, is on today's episode of Women of Impact.
0:30.4	Guys, if you don't know who she is, she's broken epic.
0:33.6	She studied at Stanford University and found what allows women to live long, better lives.
0:40.3	And her results were shocking. She saw that love, yes, love and connection is actually the thing that indicates whether someone is going to live a long life.
0:52.3	That just blew me away right from the get-go,
0:55.3	so we just dive in and talk about all the real freaking truths about how love and loneliness,
1:01.3	the pain of breakups, and all the messiness that goes with relationships, and how it actually

1:12.6	which I found fascinating guys, and we started talking about psychedelics and how they actually
1:17.9	have had positive results on relationships. Now, I'm not saying that you should go into it

And so without further ado, I just want to get straight to the episode because I was so damn excited for this one.
1:45.7	It was so fresh. It was so new. She comes at it at a completely different angle. And so you're actually
1:51.0	going to learn about love, relationships, and health all in one episode. So without further ado,
1:56.3	let's just dive right in right now with my girl, Mollyouffe. We're mostly flying blind through life because
2:03.1	love is not taught to us. If we all understood the power of love and the power of loss of love
2:08.0	on our mental health and our physical health, we would actually thrive. Dr. Mwalee, welcome to Women of Impact Girl.
