Mother Verde Wellness Weekly: Nourishing Your Nervous System After the Holidays 🌿


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 myself get 10k steps today.

Winter has its own rhythm. It asks us to move inward, to warm ourselves from the inside, to take things a little more slowly. And right now, with so much happening in the world, many of us are carrying more than we realize. (I’ve randomly cried a few times the past couple days)

This week, I’m focusing on nervous system support with simple ways to help the body settle and feel supported again. Through food, hydration, breath, and gentle daily rhythms that bring a sense of safety and steadiness. When everyone’s home it can be easy to put your needs last. Let’s not come undone. I had a joyful dreamy slice of chocottone today but I also had my protein shake with adaptogens. It’s called balance.

In the blog, I share what’s been helping me ease into January and a new year, how nourishment supports calm in winter, which foods and teas feel especially grounding, and a few small practices that soften the edges of the day.

This season is for slowness and creating rhythms.

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...

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...

Good Afternoon.This Week We’re Talking About Nutrition and Energy As Christmas approaches, life naturally becomes fuller. Routines loosen, mental load increases, and even meaningful moments take more energy to hold. It’s common to feel more tired than usual, even with enough sleep. If you’re waking up drained or relying on caffeine, you’re not alone. This season asks a lot, and fatigue is often the body’s way of asking for steadier support, not more effort. Energy isn’t built by sleep alone....
