*If you are listening to this show after 10/1/24 - this episode was a part of Bold Mama Boundaries (the previous show) - since then there has been a rebrand - but the information in this episode is still relevant to helping mompreneurs thrive in every aspect of their lives!*

Alyssa Brade, a young mother to two toddler boys, shares her personal journey of experiencing burnout and exhaustion after having her children unexpectedly during the pandemic. She discusses the lack of maternal social structures in place to support young moms, leading to her trying to do it all and be it all. Alyssa provides advice for moms experiencing burnout, including getting to know yourself again, setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and becoming empowered. Alyssa also highlights the significance of worthiness and believing in your own value. If you are interested in learning more about preventing or recovering from burnout, be sure to purchase Alyssa's book - "Mommy Needs a Minute".
