If you're a mama whose marriage has become increasingly disconnected and difficult after kids, this podcast is for you. Join host Michelle Purta each week as she has open and honest conversations about what it takes to have a successful and healthy marriage focusing on healthy communication and deep connection.
While mom life can feel rewarding, it can also feel like losing yourself. You trade in your self care for self sacrifice and your marriage takes a backseat or no seat at all as you juggle this crazy life where it feels like all you do is chores, take care of the kids, and work.
Well, here is the space where you get to be reminded that you don't have to choose between being a good mom and having a great marriage. Being happily married is a skill and skills can be learned, so tune in weekly to get your dose of how to upgrade your experience of marriage through motherhood!

Ep. 216 - How To Keep A Clutter-Free Home After Kids with Deanna Yates
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
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.
