Listen Later

Today's guest is Dr. Duana Welch, and she's the best-selling author of the book Love Factually. Her mission is to help other's find the love they want by using science as a guide. Duana has written a series of books filled with relationship advice, but she only writes books that she needed. She became a single mother when her husband's addiction began to spiral.  Their son was born with a life-threatening disease, and she realized she couldn't trust her husband to administer the medication. So, she left and never came back. She had her child but nothing else. She left behind her job, home, friends, and the man she loved. Years later, Duana's life transformed, and she created a new life, but she never forgot how hard it was. If you've lost a relationship, feel lost, or want to find love, this episode is for you. 

 Dr. Duana Welch is an author and coach who applies social science to solve real-life relationship issues. Her books include, Love Factually: 10 Proven Steps from I Wish to I do, Love Factually for Single Parents, and the Love Factually Singles series. She's also an expert at the relationship app Paired. She's been a professor at universities in Florida, California, and Texas and has contributed to NPR, PBS, Psychology Today, Redbook, Huffington Post, and Time to name a few. She's the only guest invited to appear three times on Jordan Harbinger's former podcast, The Art of Charm. Her format blends heart, soul, and science. Duana's story is so inspiring. She has walked through the fire and made it through.
