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.

The fastest way to change your marriage is not by getting your partner to change.
If your marriage has been feeling heavy, tense, or stuck in the same arguments on repeat… you’re not alone.
Most couples believe things will finally get better when their partner starts communicating differently, showing up more, or meeting their needs.
But here’s the truth: waiting for your partner to go first keeps you stuck.
In this episode, we’re diving into the powerful ripple effect that happens when you start showing up differently — and how that shift naturally inspires your partner to do the same.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why focusing on your partner’s behavior keeps you stuck
- What’s actually happening underneath resentment and disconnection
- How your energy, communication, and self-care impact your relationship dynamic
- Why “good begets more good” in marriage
- A simple but powerful reflection to assess how you’re showing up as a partner
