Remember when I promised we’d start getting into the juicy stuff?

Well, today we’re talking about something rarely discussed in relationship conversations: why your nose might be the most honest matchmaker you have.

In Episode 20, I’m breaking down three crucial reasons why odor compatibility matters in romantic relationships (and yes, I’m sharing my own experiences too). 

We’re diving into pheromones, sexual chemistry, and why that “ick” might be more significant than you think.

And if you’ve ever found yourself secretly loving—or hating—how your partner smells —I’d love to hear from you!

After you listen to this episode, drop me a voice note or email.

Next week? We’re getting even spicier…
