In this throwback episode, I’m breaking down the difference between sparks, chemistry, and compatibility and why chasing the spark can actually hurt your dating life. We’ll talk about what the spark really is (spoiler: it’s brain chemicals), why it fades fast, and what matters more for a long-term relationship. I share the three biggest myths about sparks, plus tips for building real chemistry and knowing when to keep dating someone, even if you're not feeling butterflies out of the gate. This episode originally aired on 2/13/2024.
