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.

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.

After leading “Reset” groups for over a year, I realized something: the word reset can unintentionally keep us in a start-stop cycle. While fresh starts are valuable, true transformation requires forward motion—shifts that carry us toward who God created us to be.
In this episode, I share:
Why I’m changing the name (and focus) from Reset to Shift
How a “shift” mindset leads to lasting transformation instead of temporary results
The small, consistent changes that compound into a completely different destination in life
What’s staying the same (and what’s new) in the upcoming 6-week group program
