The Story You’re Telling Yourself About ...

Jenna Griffith
About this episode

What story are you telling yourself about motherhood? Is it one of constant overwhelm, exhaustion, and defeat—or one of joy, strength, and peace?

In today’s episode of the Joy Filled Podcast, Jenna shares a real-life moment of chaos (hello, sweaty mom trying to wrangle kids out the door) and the powerful shift that happened when she remembered: I can choose differently.

Through scripture, encouragement, and honesty, Jenna reminds us that the atmosphere of our homes begins with the attitudes of our hearts—and with Christ, we can rewrite the stories we’ve been believing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in negativity or wondered if motherhood will always feel this heavy, this episode is your reminder that you can change your mind, fix your gaze on Jesus, and choose a new story.

Scripture shared: Philippians 4:8
