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.

If you constantly feel like you can’t keep up or get ahead with time, this episode will change how you see productivity.
In this episode, I am joined by Jill Wright, time management expert and creator of the Time Magic System, to talk about why so many women—especially moms and neurodivergent women—feel perpetually behind no matter how hard they try.
Jill breaks down why traditional productivity advice doesn’t work for women, how ADHD and neurodivergent brains experience time differently, and why seasonal planning is a more compassionate and effective approach than rigid schedules and daily to-do lists.
This conversation is for the woman who is doing a lot—but still feels like she’s losing the race against time.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why feeling “behind” is often a system problem—not a personal failure
- How ADHD and neurodivergent brains experience time, energy, and overwhelm
- The hidden cost of always planning from urgency instead of capacity
- Why seasonal and 90-day planning works better than yearly goals
- How to stop burning out while still getting meaningful things done
- Why rest is not laziness—but a productivity tool
- How better time management reduces emotional overwhelm and relationship stress
