Too Tired for New Year New You? Gentle Ways to Restore Energy for Moms
Exhausted mom in the new year? Learn gentle, realistic ways to restore your energy without burnout, including a 10 minute a day workout and simple daily energizing support.
Every January it’s the same thing.
Big promises. Fresh planners. A version of “new you” that apparently wakes up early, works out every day, eats perfectly, and never feels exhausted.
And meanwhile… you’re just trying to make it through the day without snapping at your kids or needing a third cup of coffee.
If you’re a mom who feels bone tired not lazy, not unmotivated, just genuinely depleted this post is for you.
Because here’s the truth we don’t say out loud enough:
You don’t need a total life overhaul. You need your energy back.
Why Moms Are So Dang Tired (Even When We’re “Doing Everything Right”)
Motherhood is relentless.
Broken sleep. Mental load. Hormonal shifts. Stress. Healing bodies. Constant giving.
So when January rolls around and the message is “push harder”, it honestly feels like a joke.
Most of us don’t need:
60-minute workouts
Extreme programs
One more thing that feels impossible to keep up with
We need something gentle, doable, and actually supportive.
That’s why this year, I’m skipping “New Year, New You” and choosing New Year, More Energy.
If You’re Too Tired to Work Out… This Is For You
I started Workout Witch’s Overcome Exhaustion in 30 Days, and I need to tell you about it mom to mom.
This program is designed specifically for women who feel tired all the time and want their energy back not women training for a marathon or trying to “bounce back.”
Here’s why it works for real life:
Only 10 minutes a day
At home
No equipment
Beginning–intermediate friendly
30 days of guided video classes
Feel results in as little as 3 days
That’s it. Ten minutes.
Not 10 minutes plus a warmup plus a cooldown plus guilt if you miss a day.
Just movement that supports your nervous system, hormones, and energy without burning you out more.

If you’ve been thinking, “I want to move my body, but I’m already exhausted” this is the kind of program that actually meets you where you are.
Supporting Energy Starts in the Morning (and the Afternoon)
Movement helps, but as a tired mom, I’ve learned the hard way:
You can’t out move poor nourishment or depleted stress reserves.
That’s where my Daily Energizing Stack from Organifi comes in.
This is one of the simplest habits I’ve kept consistently because it doesn’t require thinking.

No jitters. No crash. Just support your body actually recognizes.
A New Kind of New Year Intention
This year doesn’t have to be about becoming someone new.
It can be about:
Feeling a little less drained
Moving your body without dread
Supporting your energy instead of forcing it
Choosing habits that fit into motherhood, not fight against it
If you’re tired, you’re not broken.
Your body is asking for care, not pressure.
So if January feels heavy instead of motivating, you’re not alone and you’re allowed to choose gentle over extreme.
I’m right here with you.
