🔗 Attachment Assessment: Dr. Orion Taraban returns to break down what most relationship advice gets completely wrong.

We dive into the neurochemistry behind attraction and commitment: dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, cortisol; and why chasing "good feelings" is destroying modern relationships.

Adam reveals the Secure Loyalty Equation he and Andrey developed, explaining why purpose and shared challenges create bonds that last decades.

We cover: → Why "love bombing" actually works (and what that reveals) → The 58 to 63 day window for rewiring attachment patterns → What the prairie vole experiments teach us about human monogamy → Building a 1000 year family legacy vs. optimizing for immediate happiness → The spiritual case for non;attachment in relationships

You're lonely.

Not because you're broken. Not because something's wrong with you.

Because you're trying to get all your connection from one person.

Krista Williams built her business with her best friend Lindsay. Stayed married for years. Got divorced. And discovered something that changed everything: her deepest sense of security didn't come from her husband. It came from her friendships.

66% of millennials feel lonely every single day. Not because they're alone: many have partners. They're lonely because they've made one person responsible for all their emotional needs. That's not a relationship. That's a hostage situation.

In this conversation, Adam Lane Smith and Krista Williams break down why friendships matter more than romantic relationships for emotional health, how to conduct a friendship audit, and what happens to your nervous system when you finally let other people in.

This is about building the foundation that makes romance possible.

She's giving him everything.

Reducing friction. Avoiding hard questions. Making him comfortable.

Hoping he'll finally step up.

He won't.

Not because he's broken. Because you've told him everything is fine.

Kelsey Wonderlin coaches women out of the patterns that keep them stuck: attaching too fast, ignoring red flags, and failing to have the conversations that actually build relationships.

In this episode, Adam Lane Smith and Kelsey break down the three mistakes women make in dating: bonding before vetting, compatibility testing too late, and waiting for men to lead conversations they should be co-creating.
