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.

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.
