Laura Doyle
About this episode

Have you tried these Top 10 Ways to Control Your Husband? I have, and sadly, none of them work.

My guest Dien gave up her whole life in Canada to move to the UK with her new husband, but soon found out he was a hoarder and insomniac who had lied to her.

But instead of leaving her marriage, her journey led her fixing her relationship and making it magical again. She's going to describe exactly how she did that.
