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.

Ep. 261 - ADHD & Motherhood with Martha Hoffman
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Motherhood already asks a lot of women. Add ADHD, hormonal shifts, and invisible labor—and suddenly even “simple” tasks feel overwhelming.
In this episode, I am joined by ADHD Coach, Martha Hoffman, and we unpack what ADHD actually looks like in mothers, why symptoms often worsen during motherhood and perimenopause, and how executive dysfunction quietly impacts daily life, marriage, and mental health.
This conversation is especially for women who feel like they’re thriving in some areas of life but constantly falling apart in others—and quietly wondering if something is “wrong” with them.
In this episode, we cover:
- The difference between everyday overwhelm and ADHD-related executive dysfunction
- Why motherhood and hormones can intensify ADHD symptoms
- Common signs of ADHD in moms that are often missed or misdiagnosed
- How ADHD affects marriage, mental load, and resentment cycles
- How couples can share responsibility without micromanaging or burnout
- Practical ways to create more ease instead of white-knuckling through life
- When it’s time to seek support—and what actually helps
