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.

Is the clutter in your home stressing you out more than you'd like?
In this episode, I welcome back clutter-free coach Deanna Yates to explore how our physical environment impacts our mental wellbeing. We dive into the emotional and practical side of clutter, why it accumulates, and how to create a more peaceful home without waiting for a huge decluttering weekend that never comes.
Tune in to hear:
- The real reasons moms buy too much stuff (it’s not just consumerism)
- How overstimulation from clutter affects your nervous system
- What clutter actually is—and why it’s different for everyone
- How to start small (and time it) so decluttering feels manageable
- How to get your kids involved—without tears or tantrums
- Why working as a family team matters more than perfection
Plus, Deanna shares her amazing new children’s book, Lenora and Her Super Duper Messy Room, which helps kids learn the value of letting go and creating space they love.
Whether your house is a total disaster or just needs some tweaks, this episode will help you start clearing physical (and mental) space—one simple step at a time.
