Mother Verde Wellness Weekly: Why You Don’t Need To Start Fresh Right Now


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 much messaging right now about starting fresh, setting goals, and becoming a better version of yourself. But a lot of women, especially mothers, are rejecting that. Not because we’re unmotivated, but because we’re exhausted from pushing against rhythms that were never designed for us.

This week, I wrote a new blog post about mindset, winter, cycles, and why you don’t actually need to reinvent yourself right now. It’s an invitation to move more honestly, gently, and in sync with your body instead of forcing momentum because the calendar says you should.

Recipe of The Week

Chicken Pumpkin Curry

This instant pot recipe is fast, flavorful, spice level adaptable, and loaded with lean protein, mineral rich spinach, and vitamin & fiber rich pumpkin. You use any winter squash for this, like kabocha, butternut, or even sweet potato. Warm your belly up!


🌸 Mantra of the Week

"I honor my body’s timing. I move with integrity, not pressure. I allow myself to be human in a demanding world."

✨ Tip of the Week

Start a small win journal. Each day, write down three things you did well, no matter how small. This helps your mind focus on what’s working instead of what’s missing.


🌿 If you want support that honors seasonality, nervous system care, and real life, not hustle culture, I’ve created a free guide, Happy, Healthy, and Balanced: Wellness Strategies for Women, to help you move forward with steadiness rather than force.

You don’t need a clean slate. You need steadiness, safety, and self-trust. And those are built slowly... especially in winter.


With care,
Lindsey

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...

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....
