Episode 18: Love, Attraction, and Why We Choose the Wrong People

In Episode 18, Professor Hastings and Angela dive into the psychology of attraction, love, and the hidden forces that influence our relationship choices. Why do smart, thoughtful people end up with partners who hurt them? How do attachment styles, trauma, and self-worth shape who we’re drawn to? And how can we break unhealthy patterns to build love that lasts? This episode blends insight, humor, and hope for anyone navigating the complicated world of relationships.
