Listen "How Do We Bring More Affection Back Into Our Lives? | Dr. Kory Floyd"
Episode Synopsis
We often talk about connection, but rarely about affection - the love we give and receive through our words, actions, and touch.
In this conversation, Dr. Kory Floyd, professor and author of The Loneliness Cure, helps make sense of how affection shapes our health and our relationships. We talk about how our families and culture teach us to show love, why the same gesture can land differently with different people, and what it actually means to feel affection deprived.
Kory explains how affection lowers stress, supports our immune system, and meets our deep need to belong, and why giving affection is often even more powerful than receiving it.
He closes with a simple but profound challenge: Be the one who gives affection first.
