Ep. 177 - Love, Substances, and the Strain on Marriage: A Conversation with Psychiatrist Dr. Mariana Martinasevic
In this heartfelt episode of Monarch for Love, I sit down with Psychiatrist, Dr. Mariana Martinasevic, to explore how alcohol and other substances can quietly reshape the fabric of a marriage. From social drinking to dependence, substance use often creates emotional distance, hidden stress, and unspoken blame between partners. Together, we unpack when “use” becomes “abuse,” the toll it takes on intimacy, and why blame rarely leads to change.If you or someone you love is facing this challenge, you’ll find both honesty and hope here. Dr. Martinasevich shares her insights from psychiatry, I share my personal experiences, and together we offer a way forward: protecting your emotional safety while supporting the one you love. You are not alone—healing and connection are possible.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com📸 Instagram: @monarchforlove
