You don’t have to stay stuck. Let’s do the work and rewrite your love story.

Meet Monica

Hey, Friends! I’m Monica!
I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m a wife, mom of four, RLT certified relationship coach, podcast host, and former collector of really bad marriage advice. Over the years, one thing became crystal clear…

When the connection in your relationship is off, everything feels harder (even picking out snacks at Costco).

But when your marriage is strong, life just flows better.

That truth became my obsession and my mission: to help couples ditch the myths, build real connection, and create a love story they actually enjoy living.

What I Stand For

These core values guide everything I teach, coach, and live. They’re the heartbeat of my work and the reason couples finally feel like they're home again in their marriage.

Connection Comes First

Before the communication hacks, intimacy tips, or conflict resolution tools, there has to be connection. Without it, you’re just managing a schedule or negotiating chores.

I believe that emotional safety is the foundation for everything: trust, intimacy, playfulness, even growth.

That’s why every tool I teach starts with helping couples feel seen, heard, and truly known again.

Truth Over Tradition

Just because something’s been said a thousand times doesn’t make it helpful. I believe in calling out outdated, sugar-coated marriage myths and replacing them with real talk and proven tools.

If the advice doesn’t work in real life (with kids, deadlines, and dirty dishes), we’re not keeping it.

Progress, Not Perfection

Perfect marriages don’t exist. (And the ones that look perfect on Instagram usually aren’t.) What matters is being willing to show up, mess up, and grow together.

I’m all about small, meaningful shifts that add up to lasting love.

Before You Write the Ending, Read This

These are the kinds of things couples tell themselves when they’ve been stuck for a while. But what if there’s another way to see it?

“Maybe we’re just too different... maybe this is as good as it gets.”

It’s easy to assume that disconnection means you’re not compatible. But most couples aren’t broken. They’re just exhausted. You don’t need to be perfect to have a strong relationship. You just need the right tools, a safe space, and someone to guide you through the messy middle.

“Coaching sounds great, but it probably won’t work for us.”

Totally understandable. You might be picturing awkward conversations, blame games, or years of therapy. But my approach is different. I help you shift the emotional tone of your relationship quickly. No pressure, no lectures, just honest tools that actually work in the chaos of real life.

“We’re too busy to focus on this right now.”

Life is full. And that’s exactly why your relationship needs support. When your connection is solid, everything else flows better—parenting, work, even sleep. The truth is, you don’t need hours a day. You just need to start small, and I’ll help you do exactly that.
