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.

Ep. 263 - Lower Your Perimenopause Symptoms Using Emotional Regulation with Sharon Pendlington
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!
Perimenopause doesn’t just affect your body — it can completely change how you experience your emotions, your stress levels, and your closest relationships.
If you’ve noticed increased irritability, rage, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, poor sleep, or feeling like you don’t recognize yourself anymore, this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening and why you’re not broken.
In this episode, I am joined by Menopause and Stress Resilience Coach Sharon Pennington to unpack how hormonal changes during perimenopause impact emotional regulation, the nervous system, and relationship dynamics — especially in marriage and motherhood.
You’ll learn why emotional dysregulation often intensifies during perimenopause, how stress hormones like cortisol interact with declining estrogen and progesterone, and what you can do to support your nervous system instead of fighting yourself.
This conversation is especially helpful for married moms who feel overstimulated, reactive, exhausted, or emotionally flooded and want practical tools that actually work.
If you’ve been blaming yourself for struggling more lately — especially in your marriage — this episode will help you see the bigger picture and give you permission to approach this season differently.
