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

You probably already know at least some of what it takes to create the result or change you want. So why aren't you doing it consistently?In this episode, we're talking about some of the things that get in the way of achieving our goals, and sometimes the problem isn't that we need another plan.Maybe you're pursuing a goal you think you should want instead of something you actually want.Maybe you aren't clear about what you're trying to accomplish or what it will take to get there.Maybe you're trying to do too much.Maybe you're waiting to feel motivated.Maybe the way you're thinking about yourself is keeping you from taking action.Or maybe you simply haven't followed through consistently long enough to create evidence that what you're doing is working.We'll talk about each of these and some questions you can ask yourself when you aren't making the progress you want.I also share how these same principles apply when you're building a coaching business and how I can help through IMPLEMENT and Steadfast.Resources mentioned in this episode:• Download the free Goal Setting + Overcoming Obstacles Worksheet in the Podcast Resources.https://coachshannap.myflodesk.com/podresources• Learn more about IMPLEMENT, my high-touch, short-term coaching option for coaches who are ready to put the pieces together and get to work.https://shannapyzer.com/businesscoaching• Learn more about Steadfast, my ongoing coaching community for support, accountability, implementation, and consistency.https://shannapyzer.com/businesscoaching• Join me on Substack for more teaching and resources.Life coaching is life-changing, one renewed thought at a time.

We hear “renew your mind” all the time as Christians. But what does that actually look like on a regular Tuesday?Renewing your mind isn't about repeating a mantra you hope you'll eventually believe or replacing every negative thought with something positive. It's intentionally reminding yourself of what God says is true, choosing to believe His Word over the thoughts and beliefs that compete with it, and learning to live in alignment with that truth.In this episode, I'm taking Romans 12:2 from something we know we're supposed to do and bringing it into everyday life.We're talking about a simple practice:Remember. Believe. Live.Remember what God says.Believe what He says, even when another thought is competing for your attention.Then ask what it looks like to actually live from that belief today.I'm also sharing two practical tools I use regularly: my planner and journaling. My planner helps me intentionally remind myself of God's truth and who I want to be because of what He says. Journaling helps me uncover the thoughts and beliefs that may actually be driving my actions without me realizing it.In this episode, we talk about:• Why renewing your mind is different from positive thinking• Why knowing God's Word and living as though you believe it aren't always the same thing• How to recognize beliefs that are competing with what God says• Why your actions and patterns can give you clues about what you're believing• How journaling can help uncover the thoughts underneath your behavior• Why finding a lie isn't an opportunity to shame yourself• How to take thoughts captive and examine them under the authority of Scripture• How I use my Life on Purpose Planner to intentionally remind myself of God's truth• What it looks like to move from knowing the Word to actually living from itYou don't have to believe every thought your brain gives you.Notice it. Get curious about it. Bring it under the authority of God's Word. Remind yourself of what God says and that you believe Him.Then ask:What does living from this truth look like today?This is a practice. We remind ourselves because we're human and we forget.Remember. Believe. Live.Life coaching is life-changing, one renewed thought at a time.💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

Last week we talked about the difference between being interested in something and being truly invested in it.This week, we're taking the next step.What do you actually do once you've decided you're ready to commit?In this episode, I'm sharing what that looked like for me as I made the decision to recommit to my own health and wellness journey after realizing I had slowly shifted from being committed... to simply being interested.I'm walking you through the exact practices I'm putting back into place, why mindset matters just as much as the plan itself, and how to build habits that don't just help you reach a goal, but help you become the woman who naturally lives that way.If you've been stuck starting over, waiting for motivation, or wondering why you can't seem to stay consistent, I think this conversation will encourage you.In this episode we talk about:• What happens after you decide to commit• Why your practices matter more than your intentions• How to create habits you'll actually want to keep• The importance of reminding yourself why it matters• Shifting your mindset from restriction to excitement• Building a life that naturally supports the woman you're becomingYou don't need a perfect plan.You need a decision... and the willingness to practice it one day 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/4oG4nQxGet Your 90-Day Live on Purpose Planner:https://amzn.to/3N8frYdSchedule your Right Fit Call: https://calendar.app.google/fKky1WSUhofxu4hB8

Your habits are always moving you in a direction. The question is whether they're moving you toward the woman you want to become.In this episode, I share a personal realization that came while reflecting on my own habits. As I poured more energy into building my coaching business, I slowly stopped paying attention to some of the habits that had helped me lose over 80 pounds and steward my health well. It reminded me that intentional habits don't maintain themselves. They require our attention.We'll talk about the difference between habits that help us achieve a goal and habits that shape the person we're becoming. I'll also share a simple exercise to help you identify the habits that support the life God is calling you to live.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why habits are either built intentionally or by default• The difference between goal-based and identity-based habits• How to recognize when old patterns are creeping back in• Simple ways to make healthy habits easier to maintain• How to start where you're at and build consistency from love, not perfectionLinks mentioned:Get My Habit Tracker: https://coachshannap.myflodesk.com/podresourcesAll other mentions links, here:https://shannapyzer.com/all-the-links

Life doesn't always cooperate with our carefully planned schedules.Sometimes family needs us. Sometimes unexpected opportunities come along. Sometimes our priorities shift for a season.The question isn't whether life will interrupt your plans.The question is what you'll do next.In this episode, we're talking about a powerful lesson from James Clear that completely reframed the way I think about consistency:Consistency isn't about being rigid. It's about being adaptable.You'll learn why flexibility isn't weakness, how minimum baselines help you keep moving forward, and why liking your reasons matters more than keeping a perfect streak alive.If you've ever felt like you "blew it" because you missed one day, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways• Consistency isn't perfection. It's continuing to move forward.• Adaptability allows your habits to survive real life.• Missing one day doesn't erase your identity or your progress.• Minimum baselines help you stay connected to your goals during busy seasons.• Every decision is a choice. Learn to like your reasons instead of criticizing them afterward.• Priorities will change from season to season, and that's okay.• You don't have to choose between loving your family well and pursuing your goals. Sometimes the timeline changes, but the commitment remains.• Self-leadership includes extending yourself grace without making excuses.Closing EncouragementLife isn't asking you to become someone who never has interruptions.It's inviting you to become someone who knows how to adapt without quitting.You don't have to be perfect to become consistent.Keep showing up.Keep adjusting.Keep renewing your mind.Small, faithful steps still move you forward.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, would you share it with a friend who tends to be hard on herself whenever life doesn't go according to plan?And if you're ready for support in creating consistent rhythms that actually fit your life, check the links below to learn more about coaching, upcoming workshops, and all the resources I mentioned in today's episode.Here is the James Clear post I reference in the episode: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dag6xR7jte4/💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

If you've ever found yourself saying, "I just need to be more consistent," this episode is for you.Consistency matters. It changes lives. Small actions repeated over time create incredible results. But what if the thing standing in the way of your consistency isn't a lack of discipline? What if it's a lack of clarity?In this episode, we're talking about the connection between clarity and consistency. When you're clear about what you want, why it matters, and what actions will move you forward, consistency becomes much easier. Whether you're working on your health, your relationships, your faith, or building a coaching practice, clarity may be the missing piece.Episode SummaryMany women assume they have a consistency problem when what they really have is a clarity problem.When we're unclear about what we want, we become overwhelmed. We hesitate. We overthink. We second guess ourselves. Then we label ourselves inconsistent.In this episode, I walk through how clarity creates focus, reduces overwhelm, and makes consistent action easier. You'll learn how to get clear on what you want, identify the actions that actually matter, and build momentum through small consistent steps.Whether you're working on weight loss, improving relationships, growing your faith, or cultivating a coaching practice, this episode will help you take a practical look at what may be keeping you stuck.Key Takeaways• Consistency is essential, but clarity often comes first.• Confusion creates overwhelm and overwhelm leads to inaction.• You cannot intentionally move toward something you haven't clearly identified.• Getting clear on what you want allows you to identify the actions that matter most.• Clarity helps eliminate distractions and focus your energy.• Consistency creates evidence that you can trust yourself.• Evidence builds confidence.• Confidence builds momentum.• Consistency should come before intensity.• Small, consistent actions create transformation over time.EncouragementYou do not have to have everything figured out before you begin.Start by getting clear about what you want.Then take the next right step.Not perfectly.Not dramatically.Just consistently.God often works through the ordinary, faithful steps we take over and over again.Call to ActionIf you're a coach who wants more clarity around your message, offer, and path to clients, join me for The Business of Coaching Workshop on July 13th.https://shannapyzer.com/bocworkshopAnd if you're struggling to create consistent change in any area of your life, schedule a Right Fit Call.

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.

It is a sign you are no longer on autopilotResistance is expected when you are creating on purposeThe thought “this should be easier by now” keeps you stuckEase comes from repetition, not before itYour brain is trying to keep you safe, not help you growSafety and growth are not the same thingEmotional maturity means not obeying every feelingYou don’t need to feel like it to follow throughYou are becoming the woman who keeps going, not just completing tasksWhen you want to quit: name it, tell the truth, take the next step, repeatFaithfulness over time leads to transformationYou don’t quit because it’s hard.You become someone who can handle hard.You were made for this.
