Mommy Needs A Minute
Mommy Needs a Minute is a heartfelt and candid exploration of the journey from burnout to empowerment in modern mothers’ lives. Drawing from her personal experiences and extensive research, author Alyssa Brade offers a compassionate look into the struggles of motherhood, emphasizing the importance of self-care, mental health, and maternal intuition. The book is a blend of memoir and practical advice aimed at helping mothers find balance and reclaim their sense of self amid the chaos of raising young children.
From the very beginning, Brade’s writing is engaging and relatable. The introduction sets the tone with humor and authenticity, capturing the reader’s attention by vividly describing the less-than-ideal circumstances many mothers find themselves in while trying to find a moment of peace. Her honesty about her own struggles, such as feeling inadequate and overwhelmed, resonates deeply, making it easy for readers to connect with her narrative. The book’s structure, which blends personal anecdotes with insights and practical tips, keeps the reader engaged while providing valuable information.
Brade’s discussion of information burnout is one of the book’s strongest aspects. She effectively highlights the paradox of the modern age, where an abundance of parenting advice often leads to confusion and self-doubt rather than empowerment. Her anecdote about obsessively researching the perfect swaddle for her baby only to find that her husband’s simple solution worked best perfectly illustrates how parental intuition can sometimes be more effective than expert advice. This theme is consistently woven throughout the book, encouraging mothers to trust their instincts and find a balance between external advice and personal intuition.
Brade also tackles the challenging topic of mental health burnout with sensitivity and depth. She shares her own journey of recognizing the need for mental health care and provides practical, actionable steps for mothers to prioritize their well-being. The chapter on slow living was particularly impactful to me. It offered concrete steps to simplify life and reduce stress. Brade’s emphasis on self-worth and the need to set boundaries is a refreshing reminder that taking care of oneself is not only beneficial but essential for effective parenting.
Mommy Needs a Minute is a must-read for any mother feeling the weight of burnout and the pressures of modern parenting. Alyssa Brade’s compassionate and authentic voice and her practical advice make this book an invaluable resource.

A Family Project
Deborah Dolan Hunt Author Interview
As a mother daughter writing team it must have been a lot of fun writing together. What was the collaboration like between the two of you on this book?
It was a wonderful experience to write this book together. We collaborated from conception to completion and divided topics based on our areas of expertise. This also turned into a family project with my son Brian writing the piece on Cycling, and my other son John writing the piece on Journaling, and my son’s girlfriend Jaime writing the piece on Meditation. We all participated in the review and editing processes and that was quite helpful and exciting.
What do you find is a common misconception people have about essential oils?
I find that some people do not really understand the potential benefits and precautions of essential oils and how they should be used. For example, most should not be applied directly to the skin and there are recommended guidelines for dilution and use in aromatherapy and topically. I believe that many individuals are familiar with lavender and rose oils, however, are not cognizant of the number of essential oils. We included 20 of the most common ones but there are many more that provide myriad benefits.
Will you write more books in this field?
Although we do not have a specific book project planned at this time we do plan to do so in the future. This first book was intended as an introduction and overview of the various self-care practices and we plan to expand on these concepts and include additional topics in future books.
