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.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Taking time away from your family isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
In this episode, I’m joined by Jillian McCloskey, founder of Momcations, to talk about why moms need intentional time away and how these trips can completely transform your patience, your marriage, and your sense of self.
We discuss:
- What a “momcation” really is and why it’s different from just staying home for a break
- Why stepping away allows your partner to step up and builds their confidence too
- How kids benefit when moms take time away (spoiler: it often creates the sweetest core memories)
- Practical tips for overcoming mom guilt and starting small if leaving feels impossible
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to take a break, this conversation will remind you why that time is now. Because when you return home recharged, everyone wins.
