Faithful Mama Rising -Overwhelmed, Mindset, Marriage, Faith, Identity
Do you ever find yourself wondering, “What am I even doing with my life?”
Do you put yourself in “time-out” just to catch a breath?
Do you ever feel like you belong to everyone else—your husband, your kids, the chores, the commitments—and somewhere along the way, you stopped belonging to yourself?
Well Mama, you are in the right place.
Faithful Mama Rising is a faith-filled podcast for overwhelmed moms who are tired of living in survival mode and ready for calmer days, better rhythms, and fewer meltdowns—yours and theirs.
This is where you’ll start feeling seen, supported, and grounded again… where you finally finish that book you started, make space for the devotional you keep meaning to open, and build routines you can actually stick to—without pressure or perfection.
I’m Mitch—girl mama of two, wife to my hunk-o-hunk of lovin’ husband, Andrew, and a former Mom-ster who once lived knee-deep in overwhelm, resentment, and loneliness.
For years, I believed the right checklist or perfect schedule would magically fix everything. But no amount of planning stopped the Mom-ster from returning—and it definitely didn’t help me feel supported or seen.
Everything changed when I shifted my thinking, got honest about what wasn’t working, and finally asked God what He actually had for me.
Through simple mindset shifts, faith-centered conversations, and practical tools, I learned how to release the pressure of the endless to-do list, ask for help, reconnect with myself, and—get this—be playful again. My lips literally remembered how to smile.
And now? I’m here to walk this journey with you.
If you’re ready to stop chasing quick fixes that only last three days, reclaim the woman God created you to be, and rise out of feeling stuck and into a life of grace, support, and purpose—these are the conversations for you.
So fold the laundry—or don’t (honestly, it’s clean, that’s what matters)—and let’s get our change on.

Mommy Needs A Minute featuring Alyssa Brade
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
What we cover:
- Why so many moms feel burned out
- Balancing motherhood with your own dreams
- Rebuilding confidence and self-care
- The power of saying “I need a minute” and making space for you
