Marriage & Motherhood - How To Reconnect With Your Spouse After Kids
Motherhood changes everything... including your marriage.
If you’re a mom who feels disconnected from your husband, stuck in roommate mode, or exhausted by the constant tension, miscommunication, or emotional distance after kids, this podcast is for you.
Join Marriage Coach Michelle Purta each week to learn how to strengthen your marriage without waiting until the kids are grown. Each episode offers practical communication tools, mindset shifts, and real conversations that help you rebuild emotional connection, navigate conflict without escalation, and feel like true partners again...not just co-parents managing a household.
This show is especially for you if you want to:
• Communicate clearly without shutdowns or blow-ups
• Reduce resentment and mental load in motherhood and marriage
• Reconnect emotionally and rebuild intimacy after kids
• Create a healthier, more connected marriage in the middle of busy family life
Having a strong marriage is all about learning the right skills, not about being perfect.
This podcast is your weekly reminder that you don’t have to choose between being a great mom and having a deeply connected marriage.

Do you ever feel guilty for working, yelling, taking time for yourself or just wanting a break?
If so, you’re not alone. You’re a mom living with a whole lot of pressure from invisible rules you never actually agreed to.
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by intuitive coach and author Alysia Lyons to explore a powerful new way to look at mom guilt — not as something to get rid of, but as something to listen to.
Instead of trying to silence the guilt or shame yourself for feeling it, what if you could decode what it’s actually trying to tell you?
We dive into:
- Why guilt shows up even when you know you're doing your best
- The hidden "Good Mom Rules" you're probably following without realizing it
- How guilt can silently affect your relationship with your kids, your marriage, and yourself
- The two key tools for turning guilt into clarity, alignment, and peace
This episode is for you if:
- You’re tired of hearing “don’t feel guilty” when the feeling won’t go away
- You want to stop living reactively and start feeling empowered in motherhood
- You’re ready to rewrite the rules you inherited and create a motherhood experience that fits you
