This week on Married to the Music, Hanley sits down with Desiree, wife of hit songwriter Brett Anderson, to talk about her unexpected journey from child actress to entrepreneur, the chance encounter with Sandra Bullock that changed the course of her life, and how a late-night Twitter interaction led her to meeting Brett. They dive into the realities of being married to a songwriter, navigating the highs and lows of the music industry, building a life together in Nashville, and finding purpose beyond your partner's career. Plus, Desiree shares the inspiration behind her candle company, Milton Maison, hilarious stories from their relationship, and why creating your own path has always been at the center of her story. It's a fun, honest conversation about love, resilience, ambition, and building a life that's uniquely your own.

Married to the Music is where the spotlight fades and the real story begins. It is honest, heartfelt conversations with the husbands and wives behind today’s country stars, the ones living this life every single day. This is where you get to know your favorite artists on a deeper level through the people who know them best.

From building careers to raising families while tour buses roll out, it is an inside look at what life really feels like beyond the stage and who these artists are when they are home. But even more importantly, it creates space for the partners who do not always get the mic. These are the stories you do not hear on stage, and they matter just as much.
