The Christian Life Coach Podcast: Be Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind

This conversation is part of our Identity Series focused on uncovering the hidden lies that shape our lives and learning how to replace them with truth.Lisa shares her journey from corporate accounting into the world of coaching, the fears that kept her from pursuing entrepreneurship, and how God gently led her toward a new possibility.We talk about fear, courage, renewing the mind, evidence gathering, stewardship, calling, and learning to trust God with the next step instead of demanding certainty before moving.In This Episode You'll Learn:• How hidden beliefs can quietly direct your decisions for years• Why your brain naturally gathers evidence for whatever you already believe• The difference between fear-based decision making and faith-filled action• How God often confirms the direction He is leading you through unexpected opportunities• Why courage is rarely the absence of fear• How entrepreneurship can support your life instead of consuming it• What it looks like to steward your gifts instead of hiding behind excuses• How renewing your mind helps you recognize and challenge limiting beliefsA Final EncouragementYou do not have to keep living from a story simply because you've believed it for a long time.A lie repeated often enough can feel true, but that doesn't make it true.Start paying attention to the stories running underneath your decisions. Ask yourself if they are actually true. Then begin gathering evidence for what God says instead.One renewed thought at a time can change everything.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who may be feeling stuck behind a story that no longer serves her.And if you're ready for deeper support in renewing your mind and becoming the woman God created you to be, I'd love to work with you through coaching, Steadfast, or one of my upcoming programs.Connect with Lisa:https://www.instagram.com/lherbstreit/https://www.instagram.com/tlcoaching26/💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

Everyone has a story. A story about childhood, relationships, successes, disappointments, and painful experiences. But what if the most important part of your story isn't what happened to you? What if it's the meaning you've attached to what happened? In this episode, we're talking about identity, healing, and the powerful truth that your wounds are not your identity. God is in the business of redemption, and your past does not get the final word.Episode SummaryMany of us are carrying identity statements we never intentionally chose."I'm not enough.""I always quit.""I'm unlovable.""I can't change."These beliefs often grow out of real experiences, real pain, and real circumstances. But over time, they can become the lens through which we see ourselves and our future.In this episode, Shanna explores the difference between what happened to us and who we are. You'll learn how identity is formed, how stories become self-fulfilling, and how God invites us into transformation through the renewing of our minds.Key Takeaways• Events happen. Then we assign meaning to them.• Painful experiences are real, but they do not define your identity.• Victim may describe an experience, but it was never meant to become a permanent identity.• The stories we tell ourselves influence our thoughts, emotions, actions, and results.• Identity drives behavior.• God specializes in redemption, not erasure.• Your past may explain parts of your story, but it does not determine your future.• One of the most powerful questions you can ask is: "Who am I becoming?"You are more than the worst thing that happened to you. Your story matters. Your healing matters. But your wounds do not get the final word. God does.If this episode resonated with you, grab your journal and work through the reflection questions. Then share this episode with a friend who needs the reminder that transformation is possible.Journal Questions:What story do I tell most often about my life?What labels have I accepted about myself?Which of those labels came from painful experiences?Do those labels align with what God says about me?Who do I believe God is helping me become?

In this final episode of The Lies We Believe series, we’re bringing everything together.This episode explores:how lies become emotional and behavioral patternsthe protection strategies many women unknowingly live fromwhy these patterns affect relationships, self-care, leadership, and emotional maturityhow to identify the lies operating underneath the surfacehow to separate facts from the stories you tell about themhow to begin replacing lies with truth through intentional practiceThis is not about perfection.This is about renewal, repetition, and learning to live from truth one thought at a time.Key TakeawaysLies eventually become behaviors and coping patternsMany “personality traits” are actually practiced protection strategiesProtection and connection often pull in opposite directionsYou cannot change vague shame. You must name the lie clearlyThere is a difference between facts and the interpretation you assign to themTruth often feels unfamiliar because lies have been practiced longerRenewing your mind is repetitive, intentional, emotional, spiritual, and practicalIdentity shifts through repeated aligned actionYou do not become free from lies by thinking differently one time.You become free by practicing truth repeatedly until it becomes more familiar than the lies.Every time you interrupt a lie and replace it with truth, you are changing.One renewed thought at a time.💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

In this episode of The Christian Life Coach Podcast, we’re talking about why the lies we believe feel so convincing.Once we begin questioning a lie, our brain immediately responds:“Yeah, but look at all the evidence.”This episode explores:how your brain searches for proof of what you already believewhy practiced thoughts become convincinghow shame-based beliefs reinforce themselvesthe connection between thoughts, feelings, actions, and resultshow to intentionally begin gathering evidence for truth instead of liesThis is not about denial, fake positivity, or “manifesting.”This is about renewing your mind intentionally and learning to agree with truth instead of automatically agreeing with fear, shame, insecurity, and false identity.Key TakeawaysYour brain is constantly scanning for evidence to support existing beliefsFamiliar thoughts feel convincing, but familiar does not equal trueIdentity lies shape what you notice and what you ignorePainful experiences are real, but the meaning assigned to them mattersThoughts create emotional and behavioral reinforcement cyclesRenewing your mind is intentional, not passiveYou can practice looking for evidence of truth, growth, courage, connection, and God’s faithfulnessYou are going to find evidence for whatever story you keep rehearsing.So the question is not:“Can I find proof?”The question is:“What am I committed to proving?”💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

In this second episode of The Lies We Believe series, we’re going deeper into identity lies and the beliefs many women quietly carry about themselves.Lies like:I don’t belongI’m not lovableI’m brokenThere’s something wrong with meThese thoughts don’t just affect your emotions. They shape your relationships, your confidence, your habits, your leadership, your boundaries, and how you show up in the world.In this episode, we talk about:Where identity lies often come fromWhy repeated thoughts start feeling trueHow practiced thinking creates patterns in the brainWhy you are not brokenWhat scripture says about your identityHow to begin replacing lies with truthThis episode is honest, practical, faith-rooted, and deeply personal.Key TakeawaysIdentity lies are often formed early through repeated experiences, rejection, criticism, comparison, and painFamiliar thoughts are not automatically truePracticed thinking creates emotional and behavioral patternsYou will struggle to act consistently against the identity you believe you haveYour identity cannot safely be rooted in your past, emotions, mistakes, or other people’s opinionsGod designed you for renewal, growth, and transformationHumility is agreeing with God, not agreeing with lies about yourselfYou can practice new ways of thinking and create new pathways of truthYou do not have to keep agreeing with thoughts that are keeping you stuck.You are not broken.And you do not need to become a different person overnight.You just need to begin noticing the identity you’ve been rehearsing and start practicing truth on purpose.If this episode resonated with you, schedule a Right Fit Call through the show notes.

This is about waking up. Becoming aware. And starting the work of renewing your mind in a way that actually leads to transformation.Key Takeaways:Most of us are believing our thoughts without questioning themA thought is simply a sentence in your mind, not automatically a factYour thoughts drive your feelings, actions, and resultsIf the thought is off, everything downstream is affectedYou can begin changing your life by asking:Is this true?Is this helpful?Awareness is the first step to renewing your mindYou are not broken, you’ve just been practicing unhelpful thinkingEncouragement / Close:You don’t need to fix everything today.You just need to start noticing.Because the life you’re living right now is being shaped by the thoughts you believe.

One of the biggest lies we believe is this: if I really wanted it, I would just do it.But that is not how the brain works. Most of the things that move your life forward require effort, discomfort, and doing things you do not feel like doing in the moment. Your brain is wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy. That means resistance is normal.In this final March episode on taking action, I share three practical strategies that will help you follow through consistently even when motivation is nowhere to be found.In this episode, Shanna explains why waiting for motivation keeps many women stuck and how understanding the brain’s motivational triad removes shame around resistance.She then teaches three powerful strategies that make it easier to take action consistently: focusing on how you will feel after completing a task, reconnecting with your deeper reasons for doing it, and celebrating progress along the way.These simple shifts help retrain the brain and build trust with yourself through repeated follow through.Key TakeawaysYour brain is wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy. Resistance is normal.If you think the reason you are not taking action is lack of motivation, you are solving the wrong problem.Focusing on how you will feel after completing the task can help override resistance.Every time you follow through on what you said you would do, you build trust with yourself.Having a written list of reasons why your goal matters helps anchor you when motivation fades.Repeated consistent action is what creates results and moves you toward the life you want.Celebrating small wins releases dopamine and trains your brain to repeat the behavior.Consistent action becomes an act of stewardship as we care for the life God has entrusted to us.Closing EncouragementYou do not change your life through one big burst of motivation.You change your life through thousands of small decisions and actions taken consistently over time.Start where you are. Commit to what you are willing to do consistently. And take those actions from a place of love.If you are ready to experience deeper transformation with personal coaching support, schedule a Right Fit Call through the link in the show notes.

Many women believe the reason they are not following through is because they lack motivation.They assume that if they just felt more inspired, more energized, or more disciplined, they would finally start doing the things they say they want to do.But motivation is unreliable. It shows up when things feel easy and disappears the moment something feels uncomfortable.The women who consistently take action are not waiting to feel motivated. They have practiced following through until it becomes part of who they are.In this episode, we talk about how to build that habit.In this third episode of the March series on taking action, we move from understanding the problem to learning the practical process of building the habit of follow through.You will learn why starting too big often leads to quitting, how identity shapes your habits, and why consistent action creates the evidence that transforms the way you think about yourself.This episode will help you stop waiting for motivation and start becoming the woman who follows through.• Your brain is wired for the motivational triad: seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, and conserving energy. This is why resistance shows up when something feels uncomfortable.• Most people fail at habits because they start too big and overwhelm their brain.• One of the most powerful principles for change is this: start where you are and commit to what you are willing to do consistently.• The goal in the beginning is consistency, not intensity.• Habits stick when they are connected to identity.• Every action you take creates evidence for who you believe you are.• Confidence grows when you collect evidence that you follow through.• As Christian women, we are not taking action to prove our worth. Our worth is already settled. We take action as an act of stewardship.You do not become a disciplined woman overnight.You become disciplined by practicing discipline today.One action.One decision.One renewed thought at a time.If this message resonates with you, I encourage you to check out my book Self Care as Stewardship: A 31 Day Devotional, designed to help you start where you are and build consistent rhythms of self care from a place of love.💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

Many women believe they are not taking action because they lack motivation. They tell themselves they just need more discipline, more willpower, or the right moment to feel ready.But motivation is rarely the real issue.In this episode, we go deeper and talk about why taking action actually matters. Because action is not just about getting things done. Action is shaping who you become.In this episode of The Christian Life Coach Podcast, we explore why taking action is essential for lasting transformation.Many women stay stuck waiting to feel motivated, but the real shift happens when we understand how our actions shape identity. Every action creates evidence, and that evidence influences what we believe about ourselves.Shanna explains how habits are not just behaviors but the physical expression of our beliefs. When we understand how our thinking drives our actions, we can begin to build habits that align with the woman God created us to be.You will also learn why identity is not fixed, why your “why” matters more than you think, and how small consistent actions begin reshaping your beliefs and your life.• Motivation is not the main barrier to action. Your thinking is.• Identity is not fixed. Identity is practiced through repeated actions.• Habits are the physical expression of what you believe about yourself.• Every action creates evidence that strengthens belief.• Belief shapes identity, and identity influences future behavior.• Your why behind the action determines whether you stay consistent.• Transformation begins when we renew our thinking and take aligned action.You do not need to become a completely different person overnight.You simply need to begin practicing the identity of the woman you want to become.One decision.One action.One renewed thought at a time.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who is ready to stop waiting for motivation and start becoming the woman God created her to be.And if you want deeper support in building habits, renewing your mind, and creating real transformation, explore my coaching resources and community.Life coaching is life changing, one renewed thought at a time.💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

You say you want to change.You make the plans.You promise yourself that this week will be different.And then you don’t follow through.If that cycle feels familiar, this episode will bring clarity and relief. Because the issue is not laziness and it is not a lack of desire. It is something happening inside your brain that most people never stop to examine.In this episode of The Christian Life Coach Podcast, we begin the March series on taking action by addressing a question many women quietly wrestle with: Why do I keep saying I’m going to change and then not doing it?Shanna walks through how the brain is wired for survival through something called the Motivational Triad. Your brain constantly seeks pleasure, avoids pain, and conserves energy. That wiring helped our ancestors survive, but it does not naturally produce discipline or follow through.You will also learn how the Creation Cycle explains the connection between your thoughts, your emotions, your actions, and your results. When you understand this process, you stop shaming yourself and start leading your mind on purpose.This episode will help you see that you are not broken. You simply need to learn how to work with your brain instead of letting it run the show.• You are not lazy. Your brain is wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy.• The Motivational Triad explains why comfort and distraction often win over discipline.• Your thoughts create feelings, feelings drive actions, and actions create your results.• Emotional avoidance is one of the biggest reasons people fail to take action.• Identity matters.

Many women feel lonely even while surrounded by people. They are married, raising families, active in church, and still feel unseen and disconnected. In this episode, we talk about why connection feels hard and what actually creates the kind of closeness most of us are craving.This episode closes out our relationship series by focusing on how to experience deeper, more honest connection. We explore why identity must come before intimacy, how fear and emotional avoidance quietly erode relationships, and what it looks like to create safety through emotional responsibility, presence, and courage. This is not about communication tricks. It’s about becoming the kind of woman who can create closeness without losing herself.Connection is not created by trying harder to be likedIdentity must be rooted before relationships can be secureFear drives avoidance, resentment, and emotional distanceEmotional responsibility creates emotional safetyPresence builds connection more than fixing or explainingGuilt and shame silently block intimacyDeeper connection requires honesty, steadiness, and courageYou don’t need better people to experience deeper connection. You need to stop abandoning yourself. When you stay rooted in who you are and trust God with the outcome, connection grows naturally.If relationships feel hard or lonely and you want support growing in emotional maturity and self leadership, schedule a Right Fit Call using the link in the show notes.

How you relate to your past self determines how free you are today. Many women are living under guilt that quietly turned into shame, especially around roles that matter deeply like motherhood, marriage, caregiving, and calling. This episode names what’s really happening, exposes the lie of condemnation, and invites you into freedom that is already paid for.In this episode, we continue the February Relationships Series by looking at one of the most overlooked relationships of all: your relationship with yourself across time. We unpack the difference between guilt and shame, how fear causes guilt to harden into shame, and why shame keeps you disconnected from God, yourself, and others. You’ll learn how hindsight plus fear fuels self condemnation, how Romans 8 reframes your story, and what it looks like to release shame and walk in redemption.Guilt addresses behavior. Shame attacks identity.Guilt can lead to conviction, repentance, and restoration. Shame leads to hiding and disconnection.Fear is what turns guilt into shame by making mistakes feel permanent and personal.You are not meant to judge your past self by information she did not have.Shame keeps you focused on yourself instead of God and makes grace feel inaccessible.Romans 8 declares no condemnation and ongoing redemption.How you treat your past self directly impacts your present relationships.Love dissolves shame. Fear fuels it.You are not disqualified. Your story is not finished. God is still working, redeeming, and restoring what you have been condemning yourself for. Freedom is available when you release shame and trust what God has already promised.If this episode stirred something tender or heavy, you do not have to work through it alone. Coaching can help you identify shame, release self punishment, and walk in freedom.

Your relationships are not shaped primarily by what other people do or say. They are shaped by what you believe, what you think, and how you interpret what happens. If you have ever felt disconnected, resentful, overly responsible, or emotionally exhausted in your relationships, this episode will help you see why and show you where your power actually is.In this episode, we continue the February relationship series by shifting the focus from your relationship with yourself to your relationship with others. We explore how beliefs, expectations, people-pleasing, comparison, and identity shape the way you experience connection. You will learn how to reclaim emotional responsibility, stop outsourcing your feelings, and decide intentionally what kind of relationships you want with the people in your life including strained relationships and even relationships with people who are no longer here.A relationship is the experience you have with someone, and that experience is created internallyYou do not experience people as they are. You experience them through what you believe about themOther people do not create your feelings. Your thoughts about them doPeople-pleasing is an attempt to control how others feel and it prevents real connectionUnspoken expectations lead to disappointment and resentmentBoundaries are not about controlling others. They are about deciding how you will respondComparison never leads to connection. It leads to judgment or insecurityOther people’s behavior is information, not a verdict about youYou get to decide the kind of relationship you want to have with each person in your lifeRenewing your mind is how relationships begin to changeYou are not powerless in your relationships. You are responsible for how you think, how you feel, and how you show up. When you take ownership of that, connection becomes clearer, cleaner, and more honest.Episode SummaryKey Teachings and Takeaways💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

You are in a relationship you cannot escape. You wake up with her. You go to bed with her. You live inside her thoughts every single day. And the quality of that relationship quietly shapes how you relate to God, to others, and to yourself. If your inner relationship is harsh, critical, or distrustful, it will leak into every other relationship you have. This episode is about changing that from the inside out.February is all about relationships, and we are starting at the foundation. In this episode, we talk about your relationship with yourself. Not self obsession. Stewardship. How your thoughts create your emotional climate. How identity drives behavior. And why you cannot shame yourself into becoming the woman God created you to be. You will learn how to recognize unhelpful self talk, how to filter your thoughts through truth and love, and how to intentionally decide the kind of relationship you want with yourself.Your relationship with yourself is formed by your thoughts, not your circumstancesHow you treat yourself reflects who you believe you are and what you believe you deserveYou cannot hate yourself into transformationShame is not a motivator, it is a blockerThoughts are the most powerful determiner of every relationship in your lifeTruth without love leads to harshness, love without truth leads to driftYou get to decide the tone of your inner relationship and practice it dailyYou are not broken. You are not a problem to be fixed. You are a daughter of the King learning how to lead herself with truth, grace, and responsibility. This work takes practice, humility, and intention, and it is worth it.💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

Many women think self-care means rest, boundaries, or better routines. But what if one of the most overlooked forms of self-care is learning to speak up. Not from anger. Not from fear. But from truth, clarity, and love.In this episode, we explore speaking up as a form of self-care and stewardship. Too often, women stay quiet to keep the peace, avoid conflict, or protect others from discomfort. Over time, that silence creates resentment, disconnection, and inner unrest.We talk about what keeps women from using their voice, how people-pleasing silence becomes self-abandonment, and how to speak from your true self rather than your wounded self. This is not about saying everything that comes to mind. It is about honoring what God placed inside you and learning to speak with wisdom, love, and intention.Silence that comes from fear is not peaceSelf-care includes stewarding your inner life, including your voicePeople-pleasing silence teaches your nervous system that you do not matterSpeaking up early is gentler than staying silent and exploding laterAvoiding conflict is not the same as creating peaceTruth spoken in love builds connection and emotional maturityYou are allowed to have preferences, needs, and opinions without apologizingYou do not need to become louder or harsher to use your voice. Speaking up is about being truer. Caring for yourself includes honoring what God has entrusted to you.If you recognize yourself in this episode and want support learning how to speak from clarity instead of fear, this is the kind of work I do in private coaching.

Most women are incredibly reliable for everyone else. Appointments. Deadlines. Kids. Work. Church. But when it comes to following through for themselves, that’s often where things quietly fall apart. Over time, that doesn’t just affect habits. It erodes self-trust.In this episode, we talk about why follow-through is not discipline for discipline’s sake. It’s self-care. It’s stewardship. And it’s one of the most practical ways to create peace, confidence, and stability in your life.This episode is part of a series on self-care as stewardship. We’ve talked about deciding as self-care and planning as self-care. Today, we’re talking about follow-through.You’ll learn how keeping small promises to yourself builds self-trust, reduces mental noise, and helps you live in alignment with who God created you to be. This isn’t about willpower or perfection. It’s about integrity, consistency, and learning to show up for yourself with wisdom and grace.Key TakeawaysFollow-through builds self-trust the same way trust is built with others: consistency over timeBroken self-trust creates mental clutter, self-doubt, and harsh self-talkFollow-through is an act of stewardship, not selfishnessYou cannot steward well what you continually abandonSmall promises kept matter more than big promises brokenPlanning for a bad day is one of the most loving forms of self-careFaithfulness, not perfection, is the goalYou don’t need to overhaul your life. You don’t need more motivation. You need one promise that matters and a plan you can keep. You are worth showing up for.If this episode resonates, you’ll love my 31-day devotional Self-Care as Stewardship and the Life on Purpose Planner, both linked in the show notes.

Once you make a decision, the next step is not more motivation.It’s a plan.In this Episode 48, I’m continuing the conversation from decision-making as self-care and taking it one step further. We’re talking about planning as self-care and why making a plan is how you honor the decisions you’ve already made.Planning isn’t about control, perfection, or rigidity.It’s about stewardship, clarity, and protecting the life you say you want.Inside this episode, we talk about:Why not planning is not neutralHow planning keeps you in motion instead of stuckWhy burnout often comes from re-deciding the same things over and overHow planning is still decision-makingWhy every plan eliminates something and why that’s a good thingThe emotional and mental benefits of daily planningHow daily planning builds self-trust and emotional safetyWhy avoiding planning doesn’t protect you from failure, it guarantees driftI also share how daily planning fits into a bigger rhythm of weekly, monthly, and 90-day planning and why this layered approach actually makes life feel calmer, not more complicated.Resources mentioned in this episode:Self-Care as Stewardship devotional (available on Amazon)Life On Purpose 90-Day Planner (monthly, weekly, and daily planning pages designed to support follow-through)Links and planning pages are available in the podcast resources.Remember:Y ou don’t need more motivation.

Decision-making is one of the most overlooked forms of self-care.In this episode, I’m talking about why indecision is so exhausting, how decision fatigue quietly drains your energy, and why making a decision actually takes a split second. The real cost comes from the looping, researching, questioning, and second-guessing we do afterward.You’ll learn:Why unmade decisions create mental exhaustionHow to recognize decision fatigue in your daily lifeA simple three-question decision filterHow to have your own back after you make a decisionWhy peace doesn’t come from perfect outcomes, but from inner alignmentThis episode is especially for you if you feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in your head. You don’t need more information. You need to decide and trust yourself.Deciding is self-care. Self-trust is where peace lives.💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

Start Today: Why You Don’t Need January 1 for a ResetIn this episode, I’m calling out one of the sneakiest lies we tell ourselves: “I’ll start in the new year.” Friend… you don’t need January 1.

n Episode 43, we’re taking last week’s metaphor deeper. If Episode 42 showed you the masterpiece God already placed inside you, today we’re talking about the actual work of revealing her — through tiny, consistent chisels that feel almost too small to matter.Drawing from the metaphor of sculpting, Shanna explains how transformation doesn’t happen through one dramatic swing, but through thousands of tiny taps… and how those taps slowly remove the layers of shame, old identities, overeating, overthinking, and overdoing that have been covering up the real you.You’ll learn: • how to chip away at negative thought patterns • why boring habits are your superpower • how tiny emotional interruptions destroy decades-old patterns • the cost of not chiseling • how to choose your “one small chisel” today • why celebrating micro-wins creates dopamine-driven momentum • how consistency creates confidence, identity, and tipping pointsAnd Shanna shares how to join her January 31-Day Self Care as Stewardship Devotional Group, where you’ll practice this work in community — one small chisel at a time.Get the devotional: https://amzn.to/4oG4nQxJoin the January group by using the QR code or link inside the book.Life coaching is life-changing — one renewed thought at a time.Connect with Shannashannapyzer.comInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/coachshannap/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/spcswyaFind mentioned podcast resources here:https://coachshannap.myflodesk.com/podresourcesGet your copy of the Self-Care As Stewardship Devotional:https://amzn.to/4oG4nQxSchedule your Right Fit Call:  https://calendly.com/coachshannap/right-fit-call

In this episode of The Christian Life Coach Podcast, Shanna dives into the biblical and scientific benefits of gratitude—and why it’s far more than a fluffy “feel-good” practice.

She unpacks Bible verses on thankfulness (1 Thessalonians 5:18, Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 3:15-17) and connects them to neuroscience research on dopamine and serotonin.Most importantly, you’ll learn how gratitude helps you make the shift from focusing on what you lack to becoming the woman God is calling you to be—confident, joyful, and free.What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why the Bible commands us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” How gratitude literally rewires your brain for peace and joy. A simple daily gratitude practice to reduce stress and increase resilience. How focusing on what you already have trains you to see God’s provision. Why gratitude is a core SHIFT practice to transform your life.Resources & Links: Join SHIFT (6-week group coaching program beginning Sept 7): https://shannapyzer.com/jointheshiftGrab my devotional Self-Care as Stewardship: A 31-Day Devotional: https://amzn.to/4fW3cs5Schedule a Right-Fit Call for 1:1 coaching:  https://shannapyzer.com/work-with-me
