If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in a constant loop of negative thoughts, this episode is your gentle reset. Today, we’re breaking down how Philippians 4:8 gives tired, stressed‑out moms a practical roadmap for redirecting anxious thoughts and creating healthier mental habits — even on the days when everything feels hard.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your brain defaults to worst‑case scenarios (hello, mom anxiety)
• How to use Philippians 4:8 as a step‑by‑step thought filter
• Simple sensory tricks to interrupt spirals and calm your nervous system
• How positive neuroplasticity helps you feel less anxious, less overwhelmed, and more grounded
• Why noticing “anything” good — even the tiniest thing — can shift your whole day

This is a faith‑meets‑neuroscience episode designed to help you think better so you can feel better. No perfection. No pressure. Just practical tools, biblical truth, and a cozy reminder that goodness is always available, even in the chaos.

Perfect for moms navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, or just a really long week.

Have you ever been in the middle of a beautiful moment, only to have your brain hijack it with a "to-do" list or a worry about tomorrow? We’ve all been there.

In this episode of The Goodness Habit, Hanna gets real about a recent beach trip where a pair of wet shoes almost spiraled into a full-blown anxiety moment. It sounds small, but it’s exactly how we miss out on the "now."

We’re diving into the "why" behind that constant mental noise. You’ll learn:

1. The Brain Stuff: Why our minds are actually wired to hunt for problems (hello, negativity bias!).
2. The Faith Perspective: Why "Today is a gift" is more than just a cheesy quote—it’s a spiritual practice.
3. The "How-To": Simple, gentle ways to retrain your brain to actually notice the good while it's happening.

This isn’t about being a "perfect" mom or ignoring your responsibilities. It’s about learning how to stop letting tomorrow’s "what-ifs" rob you of today’s sacred, messy moments.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re just rushing to the next thing and want to actually enjoy your life as it’s happening, this one is for you. Because even if the day isn't perfect, there is always good to be found.

Ever have one bad moment and suddenly decide you’re a terrible mom?

That’s not because you’re failing. It’s because your brain has a negativity bias — and today we’re breaking it.

In this episode, I’m sharing one simple question that helps stop anxious spirals, quiet mom guilt, and bring your thoughts back to reality: Is that actually true?

We’ll talk brain science and real-life moments — like school drop-off chaos and cold coffee — and how this one question can move you from emotional overload to clarity.

No forced gratitude. No pretending everything’s fine. Just a practical reset for tired moms who want more peace.

Because not every day is good — but there is good in every day.

If one bad moment can derail your entire day, you’re not broken—your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

In this episode of The Goodness Habit, Hanna explains the negativity bias, a brain function that causes moms to focus on what’s wrong instead of what’s going right. You’ll learn how neuroscience and faith intersect, why renewing your mind is backed by science, and how to interrupt emotional spirals in the middle of motherhood.

This episode includes a simple, practical goodness habit you can use immediately to shift your mindset, calm your nervous system, and rediscover joy—without pretending life is perfect.

Perfect for: Overwhelmed moms, Christian women seeking peace, Moms working on mindset, faith, and emotional health
