Neuroscience of Love and Losing Love

Join Wendy in this rebroadcast from her live session on Clubhouse as she delves into the complex topic of the neuroscience of love and the pain of losing it. Wendy, a microdosing and ADHD coach as well as an orgasm and neuro pleasure coach, provides comprehensive insights on how love affects our brain and body. She discusses the role of various neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and anandamide, explaining their impact on our emotions and relationships. Wendy also emphasizes the importance of nervous system regulation, how we co-regulate with others, and the impact of breaking up on our physical and emotional health. Tune in for an in-depth exploration of love, neurology, and the ways to navigate the emotional aftermath of a breakup.

About Wendy Goes Deep on Clubhouse:

Wgd On Clubhouse

This episode is rebroadcast from the Wendy Goes Deep clubhouse in the Clubhouse app.  Every Tuesday around 10:00 am Pacific (times vary but always in the 10 o’clock hour)

This is a space for organic, unscripted conversations that expand on the ideas and insights you hear on the podcast or from whatever else has my interest (expect lots of neuroscience, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and energy discussions). Sometimes, I invite podcast guests to join me for a deeper dive into topics we didn’t fully explore during their episode or to share fresh perspectives that just couldn’t fit into one recording.

Whether you’re tuning in to learn, share, or simply hang out with a like-minded community, I’d love for you to join the conversation. It’s casual, interactive, and always full of surprises. Come with questions, observations, or just an open mind!

How to join the clubhouse:
