Why Summer Feels Like a Threat (Even When You Love Your Kids)

Every year the end of the school year arrives and underneath all the excitement there is something else sitting quietly in the chest of the overwhelmed Christian mom: dread. Not because she does not love her kids. Because her nervous system has been here before and it remembers. In this episode we get to the bottom of why summer feels threatening even when it is wanted, what the loss of routine is actually doing to the nervous system, and what it means that your body is already bracing before the first day of summer break even begins. If you have ever felt guilty for dreading a season you are supposed to love, this episode is going to give you something better than guilt: an explanation.   Join the 7 Day Summer Peace Reset 🌴 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_IS0sFuZPKLVOeS3my9NtdSLP28gOFHQwSBk3ikI1yU/edit?usp=sharing [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_IS0sFuZPKLVOeS3my9NtdSLP28gOFHQwSBk3ikI1yU/edit?usp=sharing]   Join the Renewed Mom Community! https://www.facebook.com/groups/renewedmomcommunity [https://www.facebook.com/groups/renewedmomcommunity]   Get on the list (my email list, that is!) and get something for free: Looking for a worksheet that will dispel the lies we tell ourselves as mothers, and find real truth?

What's Really Running Your Life?

You have been told to pray more, try harder, and just be more consistent. But what if the patterns exhausting you in your motherhood are not a discipline problem, but actually a programming problem? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the subconscious mind: what it is, how it was formed, and what it has been running in the background of your motherhood without your permission. We dive deep into the science of the subconscious brain, the neuroscience of belief formation, and what God always knew about the need to renew the mind...long before modern science had language for it. If you are a Christian mom who feels stuck in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overwhelm despite praying, trying, and genuinely wanting to change, then this episode is for you. The gap between knowing truth and living truth is not a faith failure. It has a name. And today we are naming it.   Join the Renewed Mom Community! https://www.facebook.com/groups/renewedmomcommunity [https://www.facebook.com/groups/renewedmomcommunity]   Get on the list (my email list, that is!) and get something for free: Looking for a worksheet that will dispel the lies we tell ourselves as mothers, and find real truth?
