Ever wonder why love feels like a rollercoaster — or why some connections fade while others deepen? In this fascinating episode of Talk with Tara, TEDx speaker, biologist, and author Dawn Maslar-Biggie shares the science behind attraction, commitment, and long-term connection. Whether you're single, dating, or in a relationship, this one’s for men, women, and couples alike.
We unpack the chemistry of falling in love, what triggers desire (hello, dopamine and vasopressin), and why waiting to have sex could actually strengthen the bond. From post-divorce dating to younger men pursuing older women, and the truth about “love at first sight,” this episode brings science, sass, and soul to your love life.
