040: Unlearning the Marriage Myths That Can Hold You Back with Monica Tanner

You’ve built something you’re proud of—but maybe, without even realizing it, you’ve been carrying relationship advice that doesn’t fit the life you’re building anymore.

You care about making a difference through your business. You want your success to feel aligned—not just in your work, but in your marriage, too. And you’re ready to let go of the outdated rules that keep you small.

That’s exactly why I invited Monica Tanner onto the show. She’s a relationship coach, intimacy expert, and the author of Bad Marriage Advice: 15 Myths That Will Make You Miserable.

In this episode, we’re diving into the myths so many women have been taught about marriage—the ones that quietly sabotage our ambition, our energy, and our purpose. Monica shares how to unlearn what’s not serving you, redefine partnership on your own terms, and build a relationship that supports the business (and life) you actually want.

If you’ve been craving more freedom, more authenticity, and a partnership that fuels your dreams… this episode is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ The most common marriage myths that hold ambitious women back

✅ How outdated relationship advice can undermine your success without you even realizing it

✅ The beliefs you need to release to thrive in both business and love

✅ What it really looks like to create a supportive partnership while growing your business

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1️⃣ You don’t have to choose between a thriving marriage and a thriving business—when you unlearn the myths, you can have both.

2️⃣ Outdated advice about being the “perfect partner” is often the reason you feel stuck or burnt out.

3️⃣ Redefining marriage on your own terms is one of the most powerful ways to claim your freedom.
