EP52: Unlovable with Charlene deGuzman (...

Jodi White
About this episode

(This episode is a replay)

There are books and podcasts about love addiction, and people talk on social media about it--but there aren't many movies that address the topic...

That's why Charlene deGuzman's film, Unlovable, is so unique: She not only tells her story, but she calls love addiction what it is.

In this episode Jodi talks with Charlene about her personal experience with love addiction and recovery, as well as what she's learned about herself and how recovery has changed her life.
