This holiday season, we’re talking about the one gift that changes everything in a marriage — forgiveness. Not the “pretend it didn’t hurt” kind, but the kind that softens resentment, quiets scorekeeping, and makes room for joy again. In this episode, I share why couples secretly keep “naughty lists,” how those quiet tallies slowly chip away at connection, and why choosing forgiveness can turn even the smallest moments into unexpected intimacy. I’ll walk you through a personal story with Brian, the science of resentment, and practical ways to offer forgiveness that actually brings you closer. Because the lights might tangle and the cookies might burn, but a forgiving heart can turn any season into one filled with warmth, connection, and love chosen on purpose.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove

Ever notice how a marriage can be full of routines and plans yet feel oddly empty?
Like you love each other… but the spark, the pull toward the future, has gone a little dim?

Tiny sparks of “someday” that make the “everyday” feel meaningful again. If your marriage feels like it’s running on routine, this conversation will remind you there’s more waiting.. not in the past, but in what you two choose to create next. Because when you dream together, you grow together.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove 

Ever notice how one sentence can spark an argument and not because of what was said, but how it was heard? In this short episode, we unpack how tone, timing, and emotional state can twist even kind intentions into conflict. You’ll learn how to slow the moment, mirror what your partner says, and hear beneath the words, past the defenses, into the heart. Because most love isn’t lost in the speaking… it’s lost in the translation. 🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove

In this honest and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Dr. Marianna Martinasevic, a psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience  to talk about something most people whisper about: medication for anxiety, depression, and emotional health. We unpack the biggest misconceptions around “needing meds,” the shame that too often surrounds taking them, and the truth about side effects that social media loves to exaggerate. This isn’t a sales pitch for pills... it’s an invitation to drop the judgment, get curious, and understand what real healing can look like. Because sometimes choosing help isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove
