You’ve probably said it—or at least thought it: “It’s so hard.” Whether it’s starting a new habit, staying consistent with your plan, or doing the emotional work of changing your mindset, the hard moments can feel like stop signs.

But here’s the truth: hard doesn't mean wrong. In fact, hard is often the very thing that builds the strength, character, and confidence you’re craving.

In this episode, I share:

• Why doing the hard thing is usually the right thing

• How “easier said than done” is always true—and never an excuse

• What to do when “hard” feels overwhelming

• And how choosing the hard thing now makes life easier later

You were created for this. Let it be hard—and do it anyway. 💜

In this transformative episode of The Christian Life Coach Podcast, Shanna Pyzer shares valuable insights on how focus impacts our weight loss journey. As the third installment in her weight loss series, Shanna explores Tony Robbins' wisdom that "where our focus goes, our energy flows" and reveals three critical areas of focus that can dramatically improve your ability to lose weight permanently.

Discover why measuring your progress (the gain) instead of focusing on how far you have to go (the gap) creates momentum that fuels motivation. Learn how shifting your mindset from what you "should" be doing to what you "want" to be doing eliminates shame and builds positive habits. Most importantly, uncover the power of your "why" - the compelling reasons that will keep you committed when temptation strikes.

Whether you're struggling with weight loss or pursuing any meaningful goal, this episode provides practical strategies to maintain focus, overcome distractions, and achieve lasting results through consistent refocusing practices.
