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.
