Happy Valentine's Day, love! It's time to learn how to overcome your urge to be right and your fear of being wrong in order to cultivate your oxytocin-based happiness. To find peace and break free from the cycle of self-abandonment...listen to this episode! You will learn how oxytocin, the 'love hormone', affects our relationships and emotions.

Oxytocin is the love hormone and is the key to owning our own happiness and peace. It is virtually impossible to care about being right and also be deeply happy. The need for and the receiving of external validation may temporarily shift you out of anxiety but the brain chemical released is: dopamine...the chemical of never enough.  Instead, cultivating oxytocin through activities such as snuggling, creating, spending time with people you love, practicing kindness and compassion, and using psychoactive psychedelics can help promote oxytocin and make it possible to own your peace and happiness rather than borrowing it from other people.

"It is virtually impossible to care about being right and to also be deeply happy."

In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. Discover the chemical key to sustainable peace and joy: oxytocin.
2. Explore how the urge to be right and the fear of being wrong leads to self abandonment.
3. Uncover how to switch from dopamine to oxytocin for self-love.
