A gentler way to think about wellness in 2026 đź’›


Hey Reader,

I’ve been thinking a lot about how loud wellness advice can feel this time of year.

Big goals. Big plans. Big promises.
And somehow… more pressure.

So instead of creating another “new year, new you” list, I made something different for you:

​The Mom Wellness Bucket List: 26 Micro-Goals to Try in 2026​

This isn’t about fixing yourself, Reader.
It’s not about doing more.
And it definitely doesn’t assume you suddenly have extra time, energy, or childcare.

It’s a list of tiny, realistic wellness goals—the kind that actually fit into real mom life.

Inside the post, you’ll find:

  • micro-goals for mental & emotional wellness
  • gentle support for physical health (no workouts required)
  • small ways to care for your relationships, money stress, and daily life
  • permission to pick one and leave the rest

You can read it…
or listen to the audio version while you drive, fold laundry, or take a quiet moment for yourself.

Your invitation is here:

​The Mom Wellness Bucket List: 26 Micro-Goals to Try in 2026​

If wellness has ever felt like one more thing you’re failing at, I hope this reminds you, Reader:

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re building support the way moms actually can.

One small climb at a time. ⛰️💛

With so much love,
Christina
​Mom on the Climb​

P.S. You don’t need to do all 26. Pick one. That counts. 💛

Hey Reader, I want to ask you something, and I want you to actually answer it — not out loud, just to yourself, right now. How are you really doing? Not how you're managing. Not how the kids are. Not how the schedule is holding up. How are you, Reader? I'm asking because I just published something I've been sitting with for a while, and I want to make sure it gets to you — not just as a blog post, but as something that actually lands. It's called Mom Burnout Recovery: 4 Real Steps to Stop...

Hey Reader, I have been working on something behind the scenes for a while now, and today I am so excited to finally share it with you. The Climb Shop is officially open. 🎉 For years I have been creating resources, tools, and guides from my own lived experience as a mom — a mom who has navigated burnout, medical complexity, NICU stays, and the beautiful messy climb of motherhood. And now everything I have created is finally in one place, just for you, and moms like you, Reader. Inside the...

Hey Reader, I recently published something I've been sitting on for a while — and I think it might be exactly what you needed to find today. It's for the medical mom. The NICU mom. The special needs mom. The mom whose journey looked nothing like the plan. → Dear Medical Mom — You're Not Failing. You're Running on Empty See you over there. 🤍 Christina P.S.
