Do you ever feel like you’re living in constant reaction mode just trying to survive one meltdown, defiant moment, or emotional storm after another?
In this episode, we’re diving into The Creation Cycle — the #1 tool that will help you renew your mind, regulate your emotions, and rebuild connection with your strong-willed or neurodivergent child (ASD, ADHD,ODD, PDA, Autism).
You’ll learn how your thoughts, feelings, and actions work together and how shifting your thoughts can change the atmosphere of your entire home.
This simple, faith-based framework will help you take your thoughts captive, calm the chaos, and parent with confidence and compassion even when big emotions rise.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:What the Creation Cycle is and how it helps you partner with God to renew your mind
The difference between un-captured/un-renewed (false self) and renewed (true self) thoughts
How to identify the patterns keeping you stuck in survival mode
How to process emotions with grace so you can respond from love, not reactivity
Real-life examples of what this looks like for moms of strong-willed, defiant, or neurodivergent kids
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” — Romans 12:2
“Take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5
You don’t have to keep reacting from fear or frustration.
You can renew your mind, regulate your emotions, and rebuild connection one faith-filled thought at a time.
Challenge of the Week:
This week, I want you to:
Do a Thought Download. Get every thought out of your head and onto paper.
Pick one thought or emotion that feels the most charged.
Run it through your Creation Cycle.
Then ask yourself:
“What do I want to believe on purpose?”
Write that new thought down every day and practice it until it becomes the truth you live from.
Thought: What am I thinking?
Feeling: What emotion does that thought create in me?
Action: What do I do when I feel that way?
Result: What does that action create in my life—internally and externally?
