This episode dives into what it means to curate your digital world — not just your social media, but all of your digital input. Shanna teaches why it’s important to be intentional about what you consume online and how it impacts your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Using Proverbs 4:23 (“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it”), she draws the parallel between nourishing your body with healthy food and nourishing your mind with uplifting content.

You’ll learn how to declutter your digital world by:

Unfollowing or muting accounts that stir envy, comparison, or anger

Following accounts that align with your values and encourage spiritual and emotional growth

Setting healthy boundaries with notifications and screen time

Recognizing that your digital feed is literally feeding your brain — so choose wisel

Shanna closes by inviting listeners to create peace and restoration in their minds and homes by intentionally curating what they consume online — so they can finish the year rested, restored, and ready for what’s next.

• Why rest restores your body, mind, and spirit
• How hustle culture keeps us depleted
• The coaching connection: how your thoughts about rest drive your actions
• Practical ways to weave rest into your daily and weekly rhythms

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. Gratitude is both a command in Scripture and a proven way to rewire your brain for peace, joy, resilience, and stronger relationships.

You’ll hear Shanna share a personal story about journaling through anxiety and how gratitude immediately shifted her perspective. 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.
