Our Story
Mommy Break Solutions was born from lived experience, resilience, and a simple belief: Everyone deserves someone in their corner.
Our founder, Kengela Fryar, understands firsthand what it means to balance work, parenting, and life's unexpected challenges while trying to show up for everyone else.
As a single mother raising her children, Kengela experienced the emotional, financial, and personal responsibilities that many parents, caregivers, and individuals quietly carry every day.
There were moments when she wished someone would simply ask:
"How are you doing?"
That question became the foundation of Mommy Break.
The name "Mommy Break" was inspired by mothers because they have historically carried significant responsibility in raising and caring for families. However, the need for support extends far beyond motherhood.
Today, employees, parents, caregivers, and individuals from all walks of life are navigating stress, burnout, grief, recovery, mental health challenges, and major life transitions.
Everyone deserves support.
That's why Mommy Break Solutions exists.
We believe that when people feel supported, they are more resilient, more engaged, and better equipped to thrive both personally and professionally.

Mommy Break Solutions was created by Kengela Fryar, a Certified Peer Support Specialist, advocate, and community leader with a passion for helping people feel supported, heard, and empowered.
Through her own experiences navigating motherhood, adversity, resilience, and personal growth, Kengela recognized a common need among individuals and families: the need for genuine support without judgment.
Her journey shaped her belief that people do not always need someone to fix their problems; they often need someone to listen, understand, and remind them that they are not alone.
Kengela brings compassion, lived experience, and a commitment to trauma-informed support to every space she enters. Through Mommy Break Solutions, she is transforming that passion into workplace support services that help employees navigate life's challenges while building healthier, more connected organizations.
Her mission is simple: support the people who support everyone else.
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen workplaces by providing compassionate, confidential Peer Support Services that promote hope, resilience, recovery, and overall well-being.
Our Approach
At Mommy Break Solutions, we believe people are more than their challenges.
Peer Support is built on connection, hope, respect, and lived experience. We meet people where they are, without judgment, while helping them recognize their strengths, overcome barriers, and move forward.
Our Certified Peer Support Specialists provide support for individuals navigating:
- Mental health and emotional wellness
- Substance use and recovery
- Stress and burnout
- Parenting and caregiving challenges
- Life transitions and personal growth
While we do not provide therapy or clinical treatment, we provide something equally valuable:
A safe space to be heard, understood, encouraged, and connected to resources.
Our Vision
We envision workplaces where seeking support is viewed as a strength, not a weakness.
"Supporting the people who keep our workplaces, families, and communities moving forward."
