Mother Verde Wellness Weekly: Fuel or Fatigue? How Food Impacts Your Energy Levels


Good afternoon...

This Week We’re Talking About Nutrition & Energy.

Because honestly... I don’t know a single mom who isn’t tired. A lot of us think we’re exhausted because of work, the kids, the mental load, the chaos, and yes, that’s part of it. But so much of our daily fatigue is actually tied to the way we’re eating, hydrating, and the foods we reach for when we’re stressed, and the habits we’ve normalized just to get through the day. We've also lost communal eating in our culture, and that matters a lot.

You weren't meant to figure out every meal on your own, it's a lot of work. That's why I keep my meals simple, balanced, and repetitive. I eat a lot of fresh fruits, chicken & rice, yogurt bowls, and smoothies.

I spent years surviving on coffee, random snacks or shakes, and I whatever was left over from the girls’ plates, wondering why I had no energy, no patience, and had lost the will to live at the end of each day. As a result, I struggled with my mood, focus, and had massive anxiety.

I cannot emphasize enough.. if you struggle with ADHD symptoms, hormonal problems, depression, rage, and anxiety, I urge you to take a hard look at your diet. Keeping steady blood sugar helps, a lot.

Once I learned which foods gave me steady energy and which ones quietly drained me, everything shifted. Eating balanced meals and adequate protein has changed my life.

This week’s blog breaks it down so you can feel more grounded, nourished, and human throughout your day, not just surviving on fumes.

Good afternoon...This Week We’re Talking About Mindset. Good afternoon, If the start of this year feels heavy instead of energizing, you’re not imagining it... and you’re not doing anything wrong. Even if you’re not watching the news, the weight of what’s happening in the world still reaches your body. Add winter, motherhood, work, emotional labor, and the constant pressure to “get it together,” and it makes sense that many of us feel tired, resistant, or quietly overwhelmed. There’s still so...

Checking in…how are you doing?It's almost the new year!This Week We’re Talking About Stress Reduction The days after the holidays can feel tender. We’re full of cheese and emotions. We don’t know what day it is. Decorations start to come down, routines are still a little wacky, and there’s a mix of joy; gratitude, exhaustion, and emotion sitting together. I notice it most in the body… slower mornings, heavier shoulders, a real need for quiet. I am truly sleepy and lazy right now. I’m making...

Happy Holidays!This Week We’re Talking About Time Management This time of year moves differently.Days are shorter. Routines loosen. School pauses. Mornings stretch and feel less predictable. There’s a pull to slow down… even as life keeps asking for attention. Many women are holding a lot right now. The end of a full year. The emotional weight in the world. Grief sitting quietly alongside the holidays. A longing for light, connection, and moments that feel steady. It’s time to support...
