How Hidden Beliefs Shape Your Identity and Keep You Stuck
The Christian Life Coach Podcast, Episode 69
Many of the struggles we experience today can be traced back to beliefs we formed years ago.
Some of those beliefs are obvious.
Others operate quietly beneath the surface, shaping our thoughts, emotions, actions, and relationships.
When Protection Becomes Limitation
Often, our beliefs begin as attempts to protect ourselves.
After disappointment, we may conclude that people aren't trustworthy.
After failure, we may decide we're incapable.
After rejection, we may believe we're unlovable.
The belief feels protective.
But over time, it starts limiting what is possible.
How Lies Create Results
The challenge is that our beliefs influence our behavior.
If you believe people will disappoint you, you may keep them at a distance.
If you keep them at a distance, your relationships stay shallow.
Then the result seems to confirm the original belief.
This is why awareness matters.
Renewing the Mind
Romans 12:2 teaches that transformation comes through renewing the mind.
Renewing your mind means examining what you believe.
It means questioning old stories.
It means replacing lies with truth.
A New Identity
One of the most powerful moments in this episode was when Teresa described her identity today:
"Daughter of the King."
That identity changes everything.
When your identity is rooted in Christ, circumstances lose the power to define you.
You may have believed a lie for years.
That does not mean you have to keep believing it.
The first step toward freedom is awareness.
The next step is choosing truth.

Hello, and welcome to this episode of the Christian Life
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:33
Coach Podcast. I'm Shanna, your Christian life coach.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:36
We are continuing on with the series that I've been talking about for the past
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:42
month now, and that is…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:44
Um, we'll continuing, I guess. In May, I was talking about the lies that we believe.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:50
Which very beautifully transitioned into…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:55
identity, and how we have believed
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:22:59
lies about ourselves that have shaped our identity, which in turn has shaped
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:05
how we show up in the world.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:07
And for a super fun treat, I decided that I am inviting
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:14
Um, friends, clients, coaches to come on to the podcast and talk about
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:20
What this looks like in…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:23
their life, and I am…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:27
guessing, assuming, hoping, praying.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:29
that you will find yourself in one of these stories,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:33
And it will help you to find more clarity and walk more and more.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:39
in your true identity, believing
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:42
that you are who God says you are.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:44
And today, for our very first guest,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:48
I have a newish friend, Teresa Morgan Johnson.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:23:53
Teresa, tell us who you are.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:23:57
I am Theresa Morgan-Johnson, as you already said. I'm, uh…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:01
relocated to Florida, and just…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:05
finished my certification course with, uh, Life Mentoring School, so really excited on…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:11
what this journey has been, and…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:13
where it's going.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:15
Yes. Any…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:18
personal… do you just retire?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:21
Okay, I just retired after a 38-year career, um…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:25
That's kind of a big deal!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:27
Yeah, it was so freeing, um, and then, uh, my husband and I have been married
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:34
for, uh, since 2012, don't do math in my head. That's what spreadsheets are for.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:40
Um, we have two fur babies at home. All of our children are grown and…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:46
live in the world.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:49
Lovely.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:49
And did I say I'm living in Florida again?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:52
Living in Florida, just…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:54
Freshly, right?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:56
Again, third time.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:24:59
And it's sticking this time, so there you go.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:24:59
Third time.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:00
Okay, that's a game, okay.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:03
Okay, so what I have talked about in the previous episodes
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:09
are lies, like, lies that we believe,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:12
that we don't even recognize.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:15
And for me, and I think it was last week, I kind of talked about mine, maybe?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:22
And how I… and it was just, like, an underlying belief.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:27
that I'm not likable. And I…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:31
I didn't even know that it was under there, but it was always operating. And so for me, when I recognize that, I was like,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:39
Whoa, what? And…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:41
Actually, my first thought, and I was at an event, I was at a coach's event, when I… or actually, I was at Love is Magic.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:49
Two years ago, when I had this epiphany,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:52
Um, and…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:55
The first thought that I had after I wrote that sentence down was,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:25:59
That's not true. I'm, like, my favorite person.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:26:02
I love being with me.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:26:04
I like me just fine, but my belief really was that other people didn't like me. So, anyway.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:26:10
That was kind of been my story.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:26:14
What…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:26:15
Is there something underneath that you've kind of recognized has been a driving force behind how you…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:26:22
Think about yourself, show up in the world.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:26:28
Um, yes, I think there's been two. I'm… I'm too much.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:26:34
For anybody to handle. Um, and the other has sort of been revealed to me more in the last couple of years, that
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:26:43
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:26:45
No one is really trustworthy.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:26:48
So that makes you be in a position where you have to be perfect, because you have to do all the things. Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:26:58
that you expect other people to disappoint you all the time.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:03
um… really, from a place of judgment.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:06
So it was a hard revelation.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:27:11
Yeah. And…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:27:13
like, how…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:27:16
Was it through journaling that you kind of came to these realizations? What was… what was the…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:27:24
What was the tool, I guess?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:27:27
That brought it to your awareness.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:29
Um, I think the larger problem of no one is trustworthy, um, sort of was uncovered
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:37
in some Christian counseling sessions.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:40
Um, that I had been going through several years ago after my oldest son died.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:49
And I think that was sort of the beginning, but then with LMS, doing the journaling and the creation cycles,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:27:57
Since that time,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:00
really understanding where it came from, how long ago,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:07
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:08
carved out a space in my heart and my mind.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:28:13
Yeah. And so, when you were believing that before you had the awareness,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:28:17
Like, what did that mean for you?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:28:20
that you can't trust anybody.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:25
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:32
Do I want to go all the way down the rabbit hole, but it…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:28:35
And also, I want to say, only share what you're comfortable sharing. We do not have to…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:40
Uh, this will all be forthcoming in my first Substack post, um, this Thursday. So…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:48
I've been sitting with it for a number of days here.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:50
But, um, it…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:52
It comes from a place of childhood mother trauma.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:28:57
Um, it wasn't abused, but at a time when I should have been able to count on my mother.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:05
she wasn't there.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:07
Um,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:12
So, can you repeat the question? Sorry.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:29:16
So, what… no, no, this is great. Um, what… what did it mean for you? Like, what did it… what did it mean…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:29:24
if I can't trust other people, nobody else is trustworthy,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:29:29
What does that mean about me?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:29:32
Or what does that mean for me?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:29:34
who am I because of that?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:35
Um,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:37
Yeah, it meant that I was…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:43
alone.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:46
I sort of went inside myself,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:48
If… if I was at work and giving a presentation, I could put on the mask of a great presentation giver,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:29:56
But, um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:01
one-on-one. Again, I was waiting for people to disappoint me, so…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:06
It really made my world small.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:30:11
Interesting, yeah.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:13
Yeah, and it's hard to make friends when your world is small.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:18
It's hard to stay married when your world is small and you expect everyone to fail.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:25
And I thought, the whole time, it's not them, it's me.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:30
So that revelation, looking back over the decades, was just…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:41
Actually, it provided me with a lot of freedom.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:43
To understand…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:30:46
why I made decisions, and how I got to where I was. So, it was very freeing.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:30:53
Yeah, because you can see how…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:30:57
And it's the creation cycle. You didn't say the feeling.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:01
But it could be. I can't trust anybody. I'm alone.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:06
What's the emotion you think when… or you… the emotion that you feel when you think, I'm alone?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:15
Well, ultimately, I think it gets into different forms of fear.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:21
Fear of being alone, fear of failure…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:23
fear of being seen,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:27
being hurt, being disappointed.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:30
Yeah.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:30
And then you make your world small.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:33
Yep.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:34
And then you really are alone.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:36
Yes, I liken it to painting myself into a corner. I… especially in my career, had thought about that a lot.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:37
Right?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:42
Yeah.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:31:44
painted myself into a corner that I can't get out of.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:48
And I love, I love that you said that having
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:52
that, like, that revelation was…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:31:56
freeing, because often we can go down the, like, the shame, blame, regret spiral.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:04
And… and I always say…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:09
we… we can't. I mean, we do, but don't.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:13
Don't judge your past self.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:15
for the knowledge that you have now.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:18
You can't hold your past self responsible for knowledge that you have now that you didn't have then.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:23
So, blame, shame…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:26
Regret, I mean, that's kind of a natural thing, but…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:29
Um, it's… it can be easy to get caught up in that spiral, and I see a lot of people that do.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:36
And also, it is so freeing. Like, oh.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:40
I believed that…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:43
So I behaved that way.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:46
But I don't really believe that anymore. That's not even true.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:32:49
That's right.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:50
Which means…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:32:54
That small world starts opening up, right?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:32:57
Absolutely, it's pretty much, uh, limitless, I feel like.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:00
Yeah. Yours is cracked wide open.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:33:04
Absolutely.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:33:07
Which feels uncomfortable sometimes. Um, your heart leaps a little bit, so sometimes. Wanna be on a podcast?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:33:13
Okay, yeah!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:15
Yeah, can we just say that? I, um, so…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:19
Teresa is one of my clients in my coaching business program,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:24
And this month, the theme is Visibility on Purpose, which
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:29
I did not even plan this, but God…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:33
But God. Um, and I decided to have guests on my podcast, so I am inviting the people that are in my program to be on the podcast, so we had a call today, and I'm like,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:43
Hey, Teresa, you want us to record a podcast today?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:47
And she's like…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:33:48
Sure.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:49
And she did it! And she… and, like she said, she's posting on Substack for the first time this week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:56
So amazing.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:33:59
So…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:02
What…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:06
What lie, like, what was the specific lie that you were believing that just felt true, that you might not have even verbalized?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:17
But you recognize now was operating that whole time. Was it the…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:22
people can't be trusted kind of thing.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:34:25
I have to protect myself, nobody's going to come and rescue me.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:34
So fascinating. And… and… and I talk about this in
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:39
the May, um, episodes, you can find evidence for that being true.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:45
Like, even now, I'm sure if you…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:34:45
Oh, yes.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:48
were asked to. You could list out all of the reasons that
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:52
I had evidence for that.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:34:55
And… when you start looking,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:35:00
what was some of the evidence that you found?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:35:05
that… discredited.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:35:08
that.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:35:10
Or that proved the opposite true.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:16
Um, I was raised a Christian, so I think the first thing is that…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:21
Um, I came into relationship with Jesus.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:26
that…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:28
started to remove the…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:31
Ebenezer, Scrooge…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:34
chains that were around my, um, heart, trying to protect it.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:39
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:42
Signs that were the opposite. Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:49
Well, I don't know if this is gonna be what you expect, but uh…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:53
My husband and I met on eHarmony.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:35:57
Yeah. And my tagline was looking for one brave man.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:35:57
Ooh, fun!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:03
And the subtext there that I didn't write was,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:06
because I'm allowed to handle.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:36:09
Ooh.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:11
Um, fast forward, we've been married now for 14 years, I think.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:17
Um, and I can…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:21
rely on him.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:22
He has shown again and again
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:27
Um, that he's there for me.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:29
And that is not…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:32
That was sort of foreign.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:34
Number one, for me to…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:38
let someone…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:39
Hold that space for me?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:44
and be willing to accept it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:36:50
So good.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:36:52
And I mean, he had to be brave.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:36:55
Right? If you're… if that was your tagline, like,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:56
Yes. Yes.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:36:59
He had to go in knowing, okay,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:36:59
Yes.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:02
And I mean, that could have actually gone in a couple different ways.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:06
Like, you need to be brave because I'm courageous and I like to go on adventures, or you need to be brave, because you're taking on a lot here.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:14
Yeah.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:37:14
Yes.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:17
And that's… cut a little bit off-topic, but it's so interesting to me
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:22
when I have heard people, like,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:26
say that underlying belief about themselves.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:29
It is overwhelmingly either I'm too much or I'm not enough.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:36
Like, it's… that is so interesting to me.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:40
how, like, those are… for…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:44
Most women that I have seen that I have talked to about this, or heard talking about this, those are the two. I'm too much,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:50
Or, I'm not enough.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:37:52
It's fascinating to me.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:37:53
And I think we're such emotional beings as women,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:37:56
that when we allow ourselves
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:37:59
either consciously or unconsciously to…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:38:03
Allow the emotion, feel it…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:38:07
examine it,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:38:09
that's when the lies come in, is when…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:38:13
we're allowing ourselves that space, and if we don't rule it, it will rule us.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:19
Yeah, yeah. If we're just…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:22
I like the…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:25
excuse me, the analogy of
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:27
We can let emotions ride along with us in the car, but we don't let them drive.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:31
When we're letting the emotions drive us,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:34
We are getting sucked into that story. We are going to keep reinforcing that story.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:39
And when we notice…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:42
that emotions are signals
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:46
Saying, hey, something's going on here.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:48
And then look at that, and like, oh, okay, I'm feeling…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:54
Feeling afraid.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:56
What's going on? What am I afraid of?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:38:59
Is that a legitimate fear?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:01
is, you know, what's the worst case scenario? Whatever, like, going through…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:05
the process of questioning. We don't… we don't question.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:09
We just believe, blindly.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:12
And then it just goes spirals down.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:17
So, tell me about when things started to shift for you, when you noticed…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:24
That was kind of the operating system.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:27
underneath the… whatever.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:31
that analogy is.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:39:35
what… what was kind of the… when you… when you recognized it, then what?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:39:43
Um, I think I started…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:39:46
recognizing it while I was in counseling, but…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:39:48
Uh, nothing against counselors, but I found that
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:39:54
I kept ruminating in that same space, and I ended up finding Dr. Eadie, and…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:00
Like mentoring school, and got involved because the coaching looked like it was a path forward.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:08
So for that forward momentum to be able to start revealing to myself, because again, I'm still…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:15
a pretty private person, that's…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:17
gonna be something that, over time will…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:21
be loosened, maybe. Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:25
it allowed… it gave me the tools to start…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:29
processing things myself without having someone else have to intervene.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:35
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:37
So, I honestly not quite sure where I would be if I hadn't gotten an LMS.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:40:45
Because I went through some pretty hard times a couple years ago, in 2024, when my son died.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:40:54
So, what helps you to…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:40:59
reinforce…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:41:01
the truth, and especially when the lie keeps coming back in, because…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:41:06
Because those thoughts aren't gonna disappear. We're not gonna, like, they're not gonna magically go away, they're gonna… they're going to keep coming, so what…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:41:13
kind of helps you to stay…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:41:16
um… an intentional…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:41:18
thinking.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:21
Sure, I think, again, it's the journaling and the creation cycle. It's also the recognition.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:27
For me,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:29
Um, because of my past,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:32
I actually had to…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:35
verbalize.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:37
To Jesus, that I surrender.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:42
And that is, like, the hardest thing in the world, number one, to recognize that
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:46
I needed… it wasn't just be obedient.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:50
It was to surrender.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:53
And when I sit down with my notebook,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:41:57
Um, and start journaling or reading scripture and journaling about that.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:04
that surrender is always there.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:06
Because it's real easy to pick up whatever it is again, and turn around and carry it the other direction.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:14
Yes.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:18
Is there… is there a specific Bible verse that you kind of cling to?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:22
the most.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:25
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:28
I didn't know it's gonna be very clever during this interview. Um…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:31
I just… hey, I want to tell you how proud I am, and how honored I am.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:37
Because I know that you're a private person, so…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:40
This is… we are… this is a gift.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:42:43
And I appreciate it.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:47
Thanks. Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:49
So I… I met Jesus.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:51
Uh, when I turn 41.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:55
And… I didn't have a Bible.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:42:57
And I didn't know what to start reading, and…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:01
Someone said read John. So, like, literally…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:05
And I was going through…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:09
My second divorce in 2 years.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:12
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:16
It's going through John, and I got a John 1-5.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:20
Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness could never extinguish it.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:27
That…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:30
sealed my fate.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:33
because of where I was at that point, where I can trust no one else,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:37
I can trust Him.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:40
He will lead me, he will be with me.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:45
He being Jesus.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:47
Um, so yeah, that…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:43:52
That's very solid in my heart.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:43:55
Love that.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:43:57
I'll be… I'll reference that in the show notes. John 1, 5.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:44:02
Yep.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:03
That's good.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:05
And that is… that is the renewing your mind.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:44:08
Yes.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:10
When… when I want to believe, when I… when my brain is throwing out thoughts and evidence that
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:16
Nobody can… I can't trust anybody. I'm all on my own. I have to do it all myself.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:21
Oh, wait a second, John 1.5.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:25
He's the light that shines in the darkness.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:28
And that is… that's the act of renewing your mind.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:31
And I… I know that you already heard this today, because I talked about it on the call, but I…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:36
like, my brain opened up today when I was reading
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:40
Um, 2 Corinthians 10, 3 through 5.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:44
how…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:46
the renewing of our mind.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:49
is the weapon that we use
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:53
to take our thoughts captive.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:56
to bring them into obedience.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:44:58
And that's… that is…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:45:01
But that… that is the act of renewing your mind. That is…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:45:04
the weapon being used against the enemy's lies.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:09
And I think between… oh, it's blurry.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:13
But when you brought that up in today's class, I opened my…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:20
Soul Scriptures, I have it written. That was one of the ones I had in there, and as I do Bible reading, and even in Dr. E's various talks,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:30
I, you know, I've got 20 pages that…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:34
There are days where I just start at the beginning and just read them all out loud, because I need
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:40
that reinforcement of
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:42
who I am, how I'm to live.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:46
And who I love.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:45:48
And that's…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:45:50
That is the weapon.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:45:52
Exactly.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:45:53
You're… you are wielding the weapon. I love it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:45:58
So, what is the identity?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:02
that you are…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:04
living in today, working on living in…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:09
practicing living in…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:12
what's different?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:15
Um, this might not be what you expect, but I saw that question, and it was like, oh, that's easy, daughter of the king.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:22
Because when I'm feeling frustrated.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:25
I am the daughter of the king.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:27
When I feel like somebody is criticizing me or judging me.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:30
I am the daughter of the king.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:37
Period.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:37
I am covered by him, period. Nothing else to say.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:43
I love that. I write in my planner every day,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:46
I am his.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:48
Same thing.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:50
And that… anytime I think any IM statement…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:54
If it doesn't line up with I Am His,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:46:57
It's not true.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:46:59
Amen.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:47:01
So that is exactly… I… I wasn't expecting anything, but that was… I love it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:47:08
Okay, and… so, and, what does that look like?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:47:13
How does… how does it look different in your life?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:47:17
from thinking, I can't trust anybody, I'm alone, to I'm a daughter of the king.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:47:23
I have a husband who is always there for me that I can trust.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:47:29
Like, what's… what does it look like?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:33
Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:37
It looks like… it feels like…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:40
When the arrows start shooting,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:46
I just hold up my shield.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:48
Um, a week ago, we, uh…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:51
we're putting our, um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:54
house up north on the market, and…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:47:57
There always is a lot of…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:00
Potential drama when it comes to that, and emptying the house, packing things up.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:05
I found that…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:08
And we've moved a lot in the last 10 years, every 2 years. My friends will…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:14
know this. Um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:18
I… I just was like…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:19
Oh, well, it'll get done.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:21
Oh, well, you know, Lord's timing. Oh, you know,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:27
I don't need to worry.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:29
He's already got it handled.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:36
Trust.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:48:39
Absolutely.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:42
Yeah.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:44
So, for…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:46
the person listening.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:48
that had that same belief as you.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:52
that recognizes that in her own life.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:56
Even right now.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:48:59
What would you say to encourage her?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:07
You don't have to do life alone.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:11
Seek the Lord.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:15
take that next brave step, and…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:20
reach out to someone, whether that be a pastor,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:24
a friend, um…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:28
a coach through LMS,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:30
Um, we weren't created to live life alone.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:35
You don't have to live a life alone.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:37
whatever…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:40
Lie, you've been believing you can turn the page on it and start living in the truth.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:49:48
whatever lie you've been believing,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:49:53
Say that again?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:54
Turn the page on it, and you can start living
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:49:58
In the truth.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:01
So… right there. That's the… that is the tagline for the episode!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:08
That is so good!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:12
And… okay, so Teresa has talked a lot about LMS and ED, and we are both certified through the Life Mentoring School program through Edie Wadsworth's coaching program.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:24
And… speaking of…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:28
Um…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:30
changing the way that you do life.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:33
We are… you're in…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:35
You're at Knoxville right now, right?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:50:38
Right now, yeah.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:39
Teresa's in Knoxville, I'm headed to Knoxville tomorrow.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:43
And we are going to be around 300 women.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:48
that are in this same community as us, and…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:51
That's kind of cracking your world wide open, right?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:50:55
Absolutely, because…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:50:57
Not so small anymore.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:50:58
I went last year to try to be brave. I knew no one.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:05
Um, the second day, I finally took the steps, realized that if your name tag was blank on the bottom, you were new.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:12
And started, sort of…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:15
Gathering some girlfriends, and one of them actually was in my cohort for, uh, certification training.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:22
And get to…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:24
hug her up tomorrow.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:51:26
Yay! That is so fun. I love it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:51:29
So, if anybody… all the people that want to connect with you,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:51:34
How do they find you?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:38
Uh, I'm building my substack, so that's not ready yet. It will be shortly, but I am…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:44
Um, primarily on Facebook, uh, Teresa MJ,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:49
Uh, and on Instagram…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:51:52
Teresa, MJ Coaching.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:51:57
Perfect. And I will have all of those linked in the show notes as well.

[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:11
If you are looking to…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:16
Uncover some of the lies that you've been operating your life based on. Reach out.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:23
Um, find a coach if it's not me, we… I know so many coaches. Teresa,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:28
is a coach,
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:30
And… it is life-changing.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:34
Thank you so much for being here. We'll have somebody else for next week, we'll see who! It'll be a surprise to all of us!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:42
Remember that life coaching is life-changing. One renewed thought at a time.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:52:56
I'm like, oh gosh, I don't know if I really answered any of the questions.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:52:59
You totally did, it was so good!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:03
I'm so excited! Okay, wait, now we have to…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:09
Um… take a picture.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:15
Or five.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:19
Okay, I don't think I have the timer on. Okay, you ready?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:53:23
Yep.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:25
Okay, again?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:53:27
But you realize it's supposed to be up here.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:53:31
pill of the chin.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:34
Do the… do whatever you need to do.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:38
Ready?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:53:39
Yeah.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:41
Let's see…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:44
Perfect, okay.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:47
For covers…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:50
Yay! You did it!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:53:54
It was fun! I don't want to cry, but it was fun.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:53:57
Right? It was fun!

It's not…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:00
Wait till I tell my husband that, uh, he's gonna have to listen to your podcast.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:07
Um, I don't…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:09
think my husband has ever listened to my podcast.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:15
Well, shame on him!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:17
Right?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:19
So when will you post it?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:19
No.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:22
Um, tomorrow morning!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:22
Tomorrow?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:25
Okay.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:26
Butt crack early!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:28
But, Craig, Early Idaho?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:32
Butt crack early…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:34
Well, like, I usually… well…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:54:35
No, your flight's at 5 30 tomorrow morning, right?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:37
Yes, yeah. I'll schedule it all this evening.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:41
Um…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:43
I… I schedule the YouTube video, it just goes up at midnight.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:49
So, that'll be up at midnight, and then…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:53
Um, all the other places are, like, 6 o'clock.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:54:58
my time? No, 6 o'clock Eastern Time-ish.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:03
And I will… I'll do a graphic, and I'll send you…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:08
the graphic, if you want to post it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:11
Anywhere?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:55:11
Oh, yes, I'll be posting it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:13
To tell your people that you did a pun!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:15
podcast!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:19
Yay!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:55:19
Yeah, if you would have said to me yesterday or this morning that I would be guest on somebody's podcast, I would…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:55:26
No. No.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:28
Yeah!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:29
Visibility on purpose. This, I mean, seriously, how weird is that, that that happened?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:36
totally did not…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:55:37
And it only happened because I said yes to your offer!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:41
Yes! Yes!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:45
Yay!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:55:47
What'd you say you're an identity coach?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:49
We didn't, yeah. I'm becoming the identity coach.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:53
Last… what was it, 2 months ago, I think I was… I…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:55:57
was like, I think I'm the overcoming fear coach.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:02
Which works too, right?
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:06
Well, that's… it's like, what do I write so it doesn't hone it in? Because I'm like,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:10
Eh, doesn't matter. But…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:12
They told us we could put our names in the…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:15
coach directory.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:17
Yay! Yes!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:20
Get that up!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:21
Well, I tried, but then it said I was already logged in, and I'm like, okay, I'll wait till tomorrow and see if it logged me up.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:28
I, um… I've gotten a couple people
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:31
reach out from that.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:36
Very fun!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:38
I got…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:41
the coach that I've been seeing, JC,
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:44
who lives in Wyoming.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:50
Yeah!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:50
Um… through one of the…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:55
Master Coach, free sessions.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:56:57
Oh, yeah.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:56:59
So, yeah.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:03
take all the exposure you can get!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:03
Again, that… that was another level of visibility, like, opening… being open to doing those free coaching sessions.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:12
But that also means that you gotta go through MasterCoach certification.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:15
Yeah. You put yourself out there for your…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:19
Um…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:23
free people.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:25
What do you call them? Internship people.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:28
Yes, yeah.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:30
That was visibility.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:34
Yeah, I need to send him an email.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:36
I haven't gotten the…
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:40
form back on their review, and I think it probably went to their spam or something.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:44
Oh, yeah.
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:46
Excuse me.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:47
Highly popular.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:49
Okay, I will see you tomorrow!
[Teresa Morgan Johnson] 14:57:51
All right, you got the next one, 3 minutes, just a long enough to peek.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:54
Yay!
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 14:57:56
Okay,
