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.

Most communication breakdowns happen before anyone even starts talking.
If you’ve ever walked into a conversation with your spouse calm and they still got defensive or shutdown, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I break down the often-missed step that determines whether your conversations lead to connection or conflict: nervous system regulation before engagement.
Tune in to learn:
- Why intention vs. impact matters more than wording
- How your nervous system shapes your tone, body language, and pacing
- Why “I statements” don’t fix dysregulation
- The hidden reason your partner shuts down
- How the P (Pause) step in the P.E.A.C.E. Method changes everything
- Practical questions to ask yourself before initiating a hard conversation
If you’re tired of repetitive arguments, walking on eggshells, or feeling like roommates after conflict, this episode will help you approach conversations in a way that creates safety instead of pressure.
