Tune in and bust the myths that are messing with your happily ever after.
BIO: Hello, I’m Monica, I’m obsessed with marriage and intimacy.
I’m married to a super hunky man and have 4 incredibly awesome kids. My oldest is an adult and out of the house and my youngest is in middle school.
My ultimate desire and purpose is to lower the divorce rate, one couple at a time through my podcast, intimacy resources and couple’s coaching. I’m certified in Relational Life Therapy as well as had some Gottman Training. I believe that couples can enjoy real and lasting change by learning better relational skills AND dealing with the parts of themselves that don’t want to use those skills at times.
If you are ready to transform your relationship into a wildly satisfying intimate friendship and passionate partnership, book a complimentary 30-minute relationship breakthrough call with me and let’s see if we are a good fit to work together.
