“Love Is a Brain Scam” | Heartbreak

My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

If you’ve ever lived, chances are you’ve loved someone or something. If you’ve ever loved, chances are you’ve had your heart broken to pieces. More Better listener Vivien wrote in to the pod this week asking for advice with just that — heartbreak. In response, Stephanie and Melissa share stories about their first and biggest heartbreaks, their advice on how to move through breakups, and the scientific reason why breaking up actually physically hurts.
