Description

In this episode, we explore the chemistry behind cozy and why we humans crave comfort. From fuzzy socks to binge-worthy shows, our brains are wired to seek warmth, safety, and predictability. We’ll break down the real science behind why cozy rituals - lighting candles, nesting at home, or rewatching The Office —-actually calm our nervous systems and boost feel-good hormones. From ancient fires to modern hygge culture, we’ll uncover how comfort became both a biological need and a cultural obsession. Because sometimes the smartest move isn’t to hustle - it’s to get cozy.
