Transcribe →Clarity Creates Consistency
2w ago00:26:06Tap to summarizeIf 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.

Transcribe →The Lie That Entrepreneurship Means You Have to Work All the Time | A Conversation with Lisa Herbstreit
3w ago00:35:52Tap to summarizeThis conversation is part of our Identity Series focused on uncovering the hidden lies that shape our lives and learning how to replace them with truth.Lisa shares her journey from corporate accounting into the world of coaching, the fears that kept her from pursuing entrepreneurship, and how God gently led her toward a new possibility.We talk about fear, courage, renewing the mind, evidence gathering, stewardship, calling, and learning to trust God with the next step instead of demanding certainty before moving.In This Episode You'll Learn:• How hidden beliefs can quietly direct your decisions for years• Why your brain naturally gathers evidence for whatever you already believe• The difference between fear-based decision making and faith-filled action• How God often confirms the direction He is leading you through unexpected opportunities• Why courage is rarely the absence of fear• How entrepreneurship can support your life instead of consuming it• What it looks like to steward your gifts instead of hiding behind excuses• How renewing your mind helps you recognize and challenge limiting beliefsA Final EncouragementYou do not have to keep living from a story simply because you've believed it for a long time.A lie repeated often enough can feel true, but that doesn't make it true.Start paying attention to the stories running underneath your decisions. Ask yourself if they are actually true. Then begin gathering evidence for what God says instead.One renewed thought at a time can change everything.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who may be feeling stuck behind a story that no longer serves her.And if you're ready for deeper support in renewing your mind and becoming the woman God created you to be, I'd love to work with you through coaching, Steadfast, or one of my upcoming programs.Connect with Lisa:https://www.instagram.com/lherbstreit/https://www.instagram.com/tlcoaching26/💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!

Transcribe →Who Are You Becoming? The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Jun 300:21:49Tap to summarizeEveryone has a story. A story about childhood, relationships, successes, disappointments, and painful experiences. But what if the most important part of your story isn't what happened to you? What if it's the meaning you've attached to what happened? In this episode, we're talking about identity, healing, and the powerful truth that your wounds are not your identity. God is in the business of redemption, and your past does not get the final word.Episode SummaryMany of us are carrying identity statements we never intentionally chose."I'm not enough.""I always quit.""I'm unlovable.""I can't change."These beliefs often grow out of real experiences, real pain, and real circumstances. But over time, they can become the lens through which we see ourselves and our future.In this episode, Shanna explores the difference between what happened to us and who we are. You'll learn how identity is formed, how stories become self-fulfilling, and how God invites us into transformation through the renewing of our minds.Key Takeaways• Events happen. Then we assign meaning to them.• Painful experiences are real, but they do not define your identity.• Victim may describe an experience, but it was never meant to become a permanent identity.• The stories we tell ourselves influence our thoughts, emotions, actions, and results.• Identity drives behavior.• God specializes in redemption, not erasure.• Your past may explain parts of your story, but it does not determine your future.• One of the most powerful questions you can ask is: "Who am I becoming?"You are more than the worst thing that happened to you. Your story matters. Your healing matters. But your wounds do not get the final word. God does.If this episode resonated with you, grab your journal and work through the reflection questions. Then share this episode with a friend who needs the reminder that transformation is possible.Journal Questions:What story do I tell most often about my life?What labels have I accepted about myself?Which of those labels came from painful experiences?Do those labels align with what God says about me?Who do I believe God is helping me become?

Transcribe →Your Brain Is Looking for Proof | Why the Lie Feels True
May 2000:21:25Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Christian Life Coach Podcast, we’re talking about why the lies we believe feel so convincing.Once we begin questioning a lie, our brain immediately responds:“Yeah, but look at all the evidence.”This episode explores:how your brain searches for proof of what you already believewhy practiced thoughts become convincinghow shame-based beliefs reinforce themselvesthe connection between thoughts, feelings, actions, and resultshow to intentionally begin gathering evidence for truth instead of liesThis is not about denial, fake positivity, or “manifesting.”This is about renewing your mind intentionally and learning to agree with truth instead of automatically agreeing with fear, shame, insecurity, and false identity.Key TakeawaysYour brain is constantly scanning for evidence to support existing beliefsFamiliar thoughts feel convincing, but familiar does not equal trueIdentity lies shape what you notice and what you ignorePainful experiences are real, but the meaning assigned to them mattersThoughts create emotional and behavioral reinforcement cyclesRenewing your mind is intentional, not passiveYou can practice looking for evidence of truth, growth, courage, connection, and God’s faithfulnessYou are going to find evidence for whatever story you keep rehearsing.So the question is not:“Can I find proof?”The question is:“What am I committed to proving?”💜 Next Steps:Please subscribe, like, review and share with your friends!
