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!

The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast
Ep. 240 - When Doing Less Makes You A Better Wife and Mom with Marisa Lonic
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
You don’t need to do it all to have it all.
If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram during the holidays and thought, “How are other moms doing all this?”, this episode is for you.
I’m joined again by my friend and Marisa Lonic of Mama Work It to talk about the comparison traps and guilt that come with modern motherhood — especially during the school and holiday rush.
We break down:
- How social media fuels “comparisonitis” and how to protect your peace online
- Why doing less can actually make you a better mom, wife, and human
- How to redefine success and capacity in each season
- Practical strategies for staying grounded, setting boundaries, and delegating without guilt
We also talk about what it looks like to be confident in saying no without apology and how modeling this for your kids teaches them self-respect and emotional intelligence.
If you’re ready to make this school year and holiday season lighter, calmer, and more connected — this conversation will help you do just that.
