Ever feel like you’re stuck in a loop of "bad choices" in your love life? What if the problem isn’t your judgment, but your nervous system? This conversation speaks to women navigating stress, advocacy for their own health, and the invisible nervous-system load so many carry quietly.In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, host Erin (therapist and creator of the Mind Circuit app) sits down with matchmaker and love coach Leah Mitchell, host of the Goddess of Love podcast. Together, they pull back the curtain on the biological blueprint of attraction.

• Dating in Survival Mode: How fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses dictate who you find "exciting" vs. "boring."

• The Chemistry of Cortisol: Why high-stress attraction is often mistaken for soulmate chemistry.

• The Science of Scent: How your nervous system state actually changes your pheromones and the subconscious signals you send to potential partners.

• Breaking the Cycle: How regulating your nervous system shifts your "attachment set point" to attract emotionally available partners.

• Trauma Patterns vs. Authentic Self: Learning to date from a place of safety rather than a place of lack.

If you’re tired of the same dating cycles and want to understand the science of healing and attraction, this conversation is for you. It’s time to stop blaming your heart and start healing your nerves.
