Marriage & Motherhood - How To Reconnect With Your Spouse After Kids
Motherhood changes everything, including your marriage.
If you’re a mom who feels stuck having the same arguments on repeat, disconnected from your partner, or like you’ve slipped into roommate mode filled with resentment and tension, you’re not alone and your relationship isn’t broken.
Welcome to The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast.
I’m Michelle Purta, mom of 3, marriage coach, and I help couples understand and shift the communication patterns that keep them stuck so they can rebuild connection, strengthen their partnership, and feel like an "us" again.
Each week, you’ll learn how to navigate marriage and motherhood with better communication, emotional awareness, and practical conflict resolution tools that actually work in real life.
We go beyond surface-level advice and focus on what’s really driving the disconnection like reactive cycles, emotional shutdown, miscommunication, and unresolved resentment.
This podcast is for couples who want to:
- break the cycle of repeating arguments
- communicate clearly without shutdowns or blowups
- resolve conflict in a way that builds connection instead of resentment
- move out of roommate mode and back into a connected partnership
You’ll learn the skills to shift your patterns, improve communication, and create a more connected, supportive marriage while you're knee deep in parenthood.
Because a strong relationship isn’t about avoiding conflict. It’s about knowing how to move through it together.
If you’re ready to stop having the same fight and start feeling like a team again, you’re in the right place.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Motherhood can bring on a lot of anxiety. The sheer overwhelm of going from just taking care of yourself to taking care of people who don't always want to listen is nothing you can ever fully prepare for. Cue the second guessing and the shoulding.
If you've ever wondered why certain things feel harder for you than they “should” or if there's a better way to feel confident in your decision making, this conversation is going to give you a new lens.
In this episode, I got to chat about human design and nervous system regulation with my new friend MaKenzie Byram.
Inside this episode, we cover:
- What human design is (in a simple, digestible way)
- How nervous system regulation helps you actually live your design
- Why you struggle with decision-making and how to change that
- How to better understand your spouse and stop misinterpreting their behavior
- Using human design to parent your kids in a way that actually works for them
- How to stop “should-ing” your life and start living in alignment
- The difference between logical decisions vs. aligned decisions
- Practical ways to start using human design in your everyday life
This episode will help you move from confusion and self-doubt to clarity and confidence so you can show up as the partner and parent you want to be.
