Be Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mom Brain

We can’t control most of life — not our kids’ meltdowns, not our husband’s commute time, not the chaos that mysteriously reappears five minutes after cleaning. But there is one area God gave us authority over that we often overlook: our thoughts.

In this episode, Sara breaks down how your thought life is shaping your actual life — and how learning to “clean up” your mind can change everything from your mood to your marriage. You’ll learn:

🧠 The Sequence — how your thoughts create feelings, which drive behavior, which shape results (and why this matters way more than you think).
🧺 The Cleaning Analogy — how much time you spend cleaning your house versus cleaning your thoughts — and why that ratio needs to change.
👶 A Kid Example — what happens when Mr. Moose gets “kidnapped,” and how changing your thought can change the outcome.
💍 A Marriage Example — how your thoughts about your husband being late can either destroy your evening or deepen your connection.
✝️ The Gospel Connection — why Romans 12:2 (“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind”) is more than a verse — it’s the key to real change.

You can’t always choose your first thought — but you can choose your second one.
And that second thought might just be the difference between despair and hope, resentment and grace, chaos and peace.

Key Verse

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2

Takeaway

Your brain is plastic (in a good way). It can change.
Every time you redirect a thought toward truth, you’re literally rewiring your brain — for the glory of God and for your own joy.

So this week, notice your thoughts. Clean as you go.
