About this listen

We often confuse intensity with intimacy. In this episode of The Fire That Makes Us, Dr. Shahrzad Jalali unpacks the difference between love that grows steadily and infatuation that consumes us too quickly. Drawing from psychology and real-life stories, she explores why infatuation feels intoxicating, how it’s rooted in unmet needs and childhood dynamics, and what it takes to build love that is stable, reciprocal, and healing. This is an invitation to look deeper: Are we chasing fireworks, or are we cultivating a flame that lasts?
