Monica also shares insights from nearly 24 years of marriage, her training in relational life therapy and sex coaching, and the work she does helping people move from anxious attachment to secure connection.If you've ever walked out of a relationship confused about what went wrong — or you're in one and feel something quietly eroding — this conversation is for you.
