Fun Rich Mom
Hey there! I'm Mitch, a small-town girl Mama of 2 that found myself knee-deep in the overwhelm and loneliness of motherhood. The perfect mom I dreamed of being in reality was more like an unhappy Mom-ster. And why did I feel so lonely?
It took me a while to break out of the pattern, but when I did, I became a better Mom. My marriage began to thrive. I found that making friends wasn't so hard anymore and I felt inspired again.
I know that there is healing in sharing and I also know that if I felt this way, another Mama out there does, too. So I'm on a mission to help us push the Play button in our lives so we get back into living that full, dynamic woman that lives in all of us.
I'll be sharing fun stories, tips that helped me get relief in parenting, marriage, making friends and more. I also have a whole host of friends with how to's and inspiration to share because Mom may be the name you hear the most- it's not the only name that matters.

Mommy Needs A Minute featuring Alyssa Brade
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
