In this episode, we’re joined by Alyssa Brade, a mom of two boys, storyteller, and researcher living in the Washington countryside. Alyssa opens up about her journey from feeling overwhelmed and burnt out to finding her footing as both a mother and a go-getter.
Alyssa is so relatable in the world of Momming—she was told she’d need help to have kids, and then, surprise, two boys came less than a year apart. While pursuing her master's degree, she tried balancing motherhood and her dreams. Spoiler: it wasn’t easy, and it led her to write her upcoming book Mommy Needs a Minute.
We dive into the challenges of modern motherhood—guilt, identity burnout, and the constant comparison trap. Alyssa talks about the loss of the “village” that used to help moms, and how she’s researched what millennial and Gen Z moms are up against in today’s world. She also shares practical tips for reclaiming your peace and finding yourself again, because taking a minute for you is not selfish—it’s necessary.
