The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast
If you're a mama whose marriage has become increasingly disconnected and difficult after kids, this podcast is for you. Join host Michelle Purta each week as she has open and honest conversations about what it takes to have a successful and healthy marriage focusing on healthy communication and deep connection.
While mom life can feel rewarding, it can also feel like losing yourself. You trade in your self care for self sacrifice and your marriage takes a backseat or no seat at all as you juggle this crazy life where it feels like all you do is chores, take care of the kids, and work.
Well, here is the space where you get to be reminded that you don't have to choose between being a good mom and having a great marriage. Being happily married is a skill and skills can be learned, so tune in weekly to get your dose of how to upgrade your experience of marriage through motherhood!

Ep. 210 - Is Mom Guilt Good Or Bad? with Alysia Lyons
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Do you ever feel guilty for working, yelling, taking time for yourself or just wanting a break?
If so, you’re not alone. You’re a mom living with a whole lot of pressure from invisible rules you never actually agreed to.
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by intuitive coach and author Alysia Lyons to explore a powerful new way to look at mom guilt — not as something to get rid of, but as something to listen to.
Instead of trying to silence the guilt or shame yourself for feeling it, what if you could decode what it’s actually trying to tell you?
We dive into:
- Why guilt shows up even when you know you're doing your best
- The hidden "Good Mom Rules" you're probably following without realizing it
- How guilt can silently affect your relationship with your kids, your marriage, and yourself
- The two key tools for turning guilt into clarity, alignment, and peace
This episode is for you if:
- You’re tired of hearing “don’t feel guilty” when the feeling won’t go away
- You want to stop living reactively and start feeling empowered in motherhood
- You’re ready to rewrite the rules you inherited and create a motherhood experience that fits you
