Episode 19: The Biochemicals of Love & Why Body Count Breaks the Blessing

In this episode of Sunshine Why, we expose the science behind the soul ties. From oxytocin to dopamine, prolactin to vasopressin—we break down the biochemicals of love and how they bind you emotionally, hormonally, and spiritually.

We’re not just talking science—we’re talking scripture, sexual integrity, and why “strong woman” energy won’t cancel God's design for connection.

Plus, a bold word on why hugging everyone at church might not be so innocent (yes, we said it).

Whether you’re healing from a high body count or protecting your peace, this episode is your wake-up call to holy chemistry and healthy boundaries.
