The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast
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!

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Your personality shapes everything—from how you handle conflict to how you connect with your spouse and kids.
In this episode, I sit down with Christa Hardin, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of The Enneagram in Marriage. Krista has spent over 20 years helping couples strengthen their connection, and today she’s here to walk us through the Enneagram—a personality framework that goes beyond surface-level behaviors to uncover your core fears, desires, and motivations.
Together, we explore:
- What the Enneagram is and why it’s different from other personality tools
- The 9 personality types and their core fears and motivations
This conversation is packed with insights that will help you better understand yourself and the people you love most. Whether you’re brand new to the Enneagram or you’ve dabbled before, you’ll leave with practical ways to apply it in your everyday life.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this series where we explore how the Enneagram shows up in marriage dynamics.
