Episode 45 – The Relationship Gym: Strengthening Love One Rep at a Time with Monica Tanner
What does it mean to take true responsibility for the quality of our relationships?
In this episode of Initiations in Love, Britta speaks with relationship coach, podcast host, and author Monica Tanner about the power of agency in love. Rather than blaming our partner or waiting for them to change, real transformation begins when we are willing to face our own wounds, fears, and patterns.
Monica shares her personal journey through anxious attachment, perfectionism, and fear of abandonment, and how healing those inner dynamics changed the way she shows up in her marriage. Together, Britta and Monica explore how couples can support one another through this kind of healing, learning to recognize their “losing strategies,” communicate vulnerably, and build the skills that make love more resilient.
This conversation is an invitation to move out of survival mode and into conscious partnership, where two people take responsibility for their own growth while supporting each other in becoming more loving, aware, and free.
