What if getting better at love is the key to a good life? My guest today is New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center to talk about why love stories matter, how they help us grow, and what they teach us about relationships, joy, and self-compassion.
Katherine shares her journey from writing Duran Duran fan fiction in sixth grade to becoming a beloved author of rom-com novels like The Bodyguard and The Rom Commers. She reflects on the cultural stigma around romance stories, how they help us connect with our own lives, and why learning to appreciate and nurture love is one of the most important things we can do.
Plus, Katherine reveals how line dancing taught her an unexpected lesson about resilience, and she offers wisdom on what makes a happy ending—both on the page and in real life.
Katherine’s newest novel, The Love Haters, comes out in May, and you can preorder it now!

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
