In this episode, Shanna shares how to enter the holiday season restored and ready — with peace, not pressure.

Learn how to anticipate holiday stressors before they steal your joy, protect your rest and non-negotiables, and bring peace into your relationships. You’ll leave this episode with a clear plan to finish the year nourished, not burned out.

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.

This week, Shanna continues the Rest + Restore series with a practical episode about Clearing the Clutter: Mind, Home, and Schedule.

Because most of the time, it’s not that you need to do more, it’s that you need more space.

You’ll learn:

How overthinking and rumination create mental clutter

How to separate facts from stories and choose peaceful thoughts on purpose

Why cluttered spaces create chaos in your spirit

How to start small; one drawer, one corner, one surface

The freedom of simplifying your yeses and protecting your margins

Episode 36. Restful Rhythms

You’ll learn:

Why rest and renewal are God’s design, not indulgence

How to renew your mind through truth and thought work

How to renew your spirit through worship, gratitude, and connection

How to renew your body through rest, movement, and nourishment

Practical ways to start small and weave renewal into your day

How to overcome obstacles like “I don’t have time” or “I keep forgetting”

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.

Deeper dive in to How to Eat Less Tips 6-10

Tips on how to eat less.

God’s word tells us to “give thanks IN all circumstances” (emphasis mine), not to give thanks FOR all circumstances. The Bible tells us that in this world, we will have suffering, and that God has overcome the world! We don’t have to be thankful FOR the suffering, but we can be thankful IN it.

When we are in a scarcity mindset, we want to protect what we have for fear of going without. Fear is the basis for being in this mindset.

We often tell ourselves that this little thing won’t make a difference, so I’ll just skip today, or I’ll just eat a little bit more or just this once won’t hurt.

We give in to the little things in the moment and those little things and those moments add up.

More… finding things to be thankful for.Less… focusing on things to complain about.

More… Say what you mean and mean what you say. Less… saying what you think others want you to say.

Use habits to create a life that you want to live and to become the person you want to be.
