It always starts out so good, right? The butterflies, the excitement, the electric pull. But what happens next? In this episode, Louise takes you on a deep dive into the psychology and biology of love—from the euphoric highs of initial lust and those heart-racing fanny flutters to the more grounded, regulated, and lasting stages of falling and being in love (yes, there’s a difference!) and then falling out of love.

She’s breaking down every stage of the love cycle, exploring attachment, hormones, and subconscious patterns that shape our relationships. If you’re currently obsessing over someone new or wondering ‘Is this still working for me?’, this episode is for you so you can get clear on all stages of the love cycle.

Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys. Hit play and let’s get into it.
