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

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, a...

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 exhaustion...

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.

I walk you through exactly how to choose ONE tiny, meaningful reset you can start right now—something that brings you back to inte...

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...

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.
