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.

Growing up with immigrant parents shapes how we love, communicate, and show up in marriage.
