If parenting feels like a constant struggle—like the meltdowns, the chaos, and the stress are all you can see—your brain might be the problem.

No, really. Your brain is wired to prioritize the hard stuff—the tantrums, the mess, the never-ending to-do list—while the tiny wins and joyful moments slip away unnoticed. It’s called negativity bias, and it’s making parenting feel way harder than it needs to be.

But here’s the good news: There’s a simple brain hack that can change everything.

🎙️ In this episode, we’re diving into:

✔ Why your brain naturally fixates on the struggles (and how to break the cycle)

✔ The simple daily practice that rewires your brain for joy

✔ How shifting your focus can make parenting feel lighter—without toxic positivity

If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or just over it—this might be the easiest, most powerful shift you can make.
