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

Start Today: Why You Don’t Need January 1 for a Reset

In 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. You don’t need a Monday. You don’t need a perfect moment. You need today.

I walk you through exactly how to choose ONE tiny, meaningful reset you can start right now—something that brings you back to intentionality, alignment, and the life God has already equipped you to live.

For me? It’s drinking my 100 ounces of water daily again. For you? It might be devotions, a 10-minute walk, planning your food, closing the kitchen after dinner, going to bed on time, or tidying your space before bed.

Wherever you are, today is enough. You’re not starting over. You’re continuing on—stronger, clearer, and more grounded than before.

Tag me @CoachShannaP with your one reset, and you’ll be entered to win an autographed copy of Self-Care as Stewardship.

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 points

And 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.

In this episode, Shanna walks you through the emotional, spiritual, and behavioral layers that weigh you down: shame from the past, fear of the unknown, people-pleasing, insecurity, emotional armor, overeating, overscrolling, overspending, misaligned relationships, and tolerated sin.

She speaks honestly and compassionately about the difference between conviction and condemnation, how to return to your true identity in Christ, and how to take one small “chisel step” today.

You’ll learn: • Why the heaviness you feel isn’t your identity • Why hard things aren’t bad things • How to create habits that nourish your true self • Why God calls you to remove what hides your worth • How to reset your mindset heading into a new year • How to make practical choices that align with who you want to be • The power of repentance, renewal, and a single chisel of obedience

Plus: Shanna gives five powerful journal prompts to help you start your own chiseling process today.

December Journal Prompts:

• What choices have been adding marble to my life?

• What is God asking me to release this month?

• What am I numbing with food, scrolling, shopping, or relationships?

• What does the real me — the woman inside the marble — value?

• What is ONE daily chisel I can commit to for the next seven days?

As we roll straight into Thanksgiving week, I’m keeping it real with you. I missed last week’s episode, I’m recording this one late, and I’m showing up anyway — because that’s what we do.

Today’s episode is your reminder that you get to choose who you want to be this holiday season. Not who your family thinks you should be, not who Uncle Leroy tries to provoke, and not who your old habits default to.

We’re talking about:

• How to handle shifting family dynamics when the kids get married

• How to stop taking everyone else’s behavior personally

• How to decide ahead of time the emotions you want to experience

• Why your thoughts (not your relatives) create your feelings

• The “three kinds of business” — God’s, theirs, and yours

• What belongs to you, and what you can completely release

If you want a Thanksgiving you don’t walk away from irritated, resentful, or emotionally exhausted, this episode will help you get there.

I’m also linking two YouTube videos that walk you through expectations and holiday protocols — both are gold if you want a smoother, more intentional holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving, friend. And remember: Life coaching is life-changing, one renewed thought at a time. 💜

This week, we’re slowing down to reflect and reconnect — to look back at the goals, growth, and grace that shaped your year.

In this episode, Shanna invites you to take a treasure hunt through your year and notice everything you’ve done well. You’ll explore:

✨ What goals you set and what progress you made

✨ What went well on purpose (and what blessings surprised you)

✨ How to reconnect with your “why”

✨ What goals or habits fell off your radar — and whether to pick them back up or release them

This isn’t about judgment or shame — it’s about awareness, gratitude, and finishing the year faith-full and aligned with who God says you are.

Scriptures referenced: Philippians 1:6, Galatians 6:9, Lamentations 3:22–23, Romans 12:2

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.

Rest isn’t laziness—it’s God’s design. From creation to Jesus’ example, we see that rest is essential for spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal. Instead of hustling harder to finish the year, what if the secret to ending well is slowing down and letting God restore you?

Join Shanna as she shares the mindset shift that makes rest possible without guilt, how rest keeps you from depletion, and practical ways to create pockets of restoration in your daily life.

Discover how rest can help you finish the year strong, whole, and renewed.

Are you exhausted from hustling to keep up?

In this episode, we kick off October’s theme of Rest + Restore by redefining rest. Rest isn’t laziness—it’s God’s gift and His strategy for renewal. From Genesis to Jesus’ own rhythms, Scripture shows us that rest is essential for finishing strong.

You’ll learn:

• The biblical foundation of rest (God rested, Jesus rested)
• 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
  

God is not asking you to do more. He’s inviting you to lay down your burdens and be restored.

Listen in and discover how choosing rest today equips you to finish the year whole.
