[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:13:12
Hello and welcome to the Christian Life Coach Podcast. I am Shanna, your Christian Life Coach.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:13:22
I had an episode all planned out for today, and for this week, and actually it was planned out for last week, and it did not get recorded, and…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:13:31
I decided today that I am going in a different direction for today because it just feels right.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:13:39
This week is a re-entry week for me. I spent the past five weeks with my toddler grandson.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:13:51
One week at his house in Washington with his mom and dad and him, and then two weeks here in Idaho at my house with him, and then two weeks back at his house. So I am back home.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:14:06
Without a toddler. And so it's a reentry week and I inadvertently on purpose made it not a slow reentry week because I have planned things out that.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:14:22
have timelines on them, and so I actually have quite a bit that I want to accomplish this week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:14:30
amidst and among, um, scheduled calls that I have. So…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:14:35
I just… I felt like I wanted to do this more loosely this week, um, and I hope this doesn't end up sounding like a commercial or something, but I kind of just really quick gathered up some things that I want to share with you.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:14:53
So these are the things that I am thoroughly enjoying.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:01
And on an ongoing basis and also especially this week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:07
What am I going to start with? I have a pile here. Okay.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:10
And I'm on a time crunch because I have a client call very soon.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:15
Okay, so.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:17
In in the spirit of this reentry week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:22
I have been talking… I've been talking to my chat, I… as I often do. Chat knows, like, everything about my business. And, um, over the past 5 weeks, like, I have still been…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:35
Learning, engaging, using chat to make plans.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:41
On Sunday evening, I decided as I was thinking about planning my week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:47
I was like, I like.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:51
God, I was. That was what my brain was telling me. There's a lot.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:15:56
And which a lot is not bad. A lot is good.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:16:00
And I wanted to make sure that I prioritized. So.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:16:04
And I actually, I posted an article about this on my Substack also. So I got on my chat and I said, ChatGPT, and I said, you know, I'm back at home after being with Clayton for five weeks.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:16:20
There's a lot of things that I want to get accomplished this week. I'm diving back in, and I want to make sure that I'm prioritizing the things that really matter and focusing on what is important.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:16:36
And so I asked Chad.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:16:38
Can you list out the things that we've been talking about that I want to focus? So, like, help me prioritize, kind of thing. And then I threw out, like, these are the things that I'm thinking, and did I miss anything?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:16:54
So of course, chat does what chat does and goes back to all of our conversations over the past few weeks and put together a list. And I was like, great, can you list it out by day? What should I be focusing on each day?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:17:11
So chat came up with a daily to be accomplished list for me. And I was like, awesome. Can you put it in a master list by topic? And so it did that. And then I said, can you make these checklists?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:17:26
And so it did, and I rarely print anything out, but I printed this out. So ChatGPT gave me… these are my days this week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:17:40
So these are my dailies. If you're not watching on video, which probably you're not, I'm showing my lists that chat gave me. And then I have my topical.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:17:55
lists, my Substack workshop. I'm doing a Substack workshop on Monday, September 28th, and I'm going to be teaching.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:18:06
why… why you need Substack in your life, and especially if you are, um, growing a coaching practice, I'm going to talk about all of the benefits of it, and then help you get your profile and publication set up.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:18:21
And so that you can start using it as a hub for your business. So that link will be in the show notes. And it can be for personal use also. There is a charge for that workshop. It's $47 because I am walking you through the whole setup.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:18:39
to simplify it all for you. Anyway…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:18:42
This is one of my absolute favorite things this week, my ChatGPT-generated, um, prioritized-to-be-accomplished list for the week.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:18:52
Okay, what else am I loving?
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:18:55
I am loving — I'm just going to go in the order that I have it on this stack.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:00
I am loving this.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:02
Color Me Worthy coloring book by Bobbi Smith, and it is a healing coloring book for women embracing beauty in broken…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:13
places. And it is inspired by the Japanese art of…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:19
Kintsugi? I don't know if I said that right. Kintsugi, K-I-N-T-S-U-G-I, where broken pottery is repaired with care.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:29
and gold, honoring the beauty found in imperfection. And it is a coloring book that is also a… it's a journaling.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:41
Um, mindset, it is…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:43
It's incredible. Color me worthy. All the links for these will be in the the.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:19:50
show notes as well. It is amazing, I know Bobbi Smith, she's incredible, and this coloring book will bless you, and I bought several copies to give away as gifts.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:04
Jesus listens.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:06
So I, I, I opened this yesterday and.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:11
I… the bookmark, when I opened it, was in a day in early June, so I have not read it since early June. I opened it yesterday, September 21st, and it just spoke.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:25
It spoke to me exactly where I was. It was so…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:29
Funny in an interesting and confirmation way.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:34
it just talked about exactly what I had been experiencing the day before, and it was just a good reminder that Jesus does listen, and that God is with me, and He hears me, and He knows me, and He is…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:49
directing me and just wants me to trust him.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:53
Amazing book, Jesus Listens, by Sarah Young. All of her devotions are…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:20:59
Fantastic.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:01
Oh my goodness. Also, I started this yesterday.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:05
I ordered it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:08
until… kind of forgot that I ordered it. I… Lisa Joy Thompson is the author. It's called Sacred Work, 30 Days of Prayer for the Business God Called You to Build. It's a 30-day prayer devotional.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:20
And I have actually been thinking about.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:25
writing a devotional for Christian entrepreneurs.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:32
And I got home from my trip, and this was sitting on the counter. It had come, and I really… I honestly didn't even know what it was. And I ordered it because she had written it, and I love her.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:43
And I opened it up, and I'm like, oh my word, this is exactly what I wanted to write. And this is perfect and beautiful, and I love it so much. So if you are a Christian entrepreneur, Sacred Work, a 30-day devotional.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:21:59
Amazing. Again, the links will be in my.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:04
Also, note on this.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:08
book, I…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:09
I took a picture.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:11
And it's in my Instagram. I don't think I posted it in Substack.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:19
I took a picture after I finished, like, my morning devotion time yesterday of this stack of… the stack of books, and kind of… I wrote about…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:30
Just how everything was speaking to me. And so I took this picture. I opened up my Instagram.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:37
To post the picture and.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:41
Lisa Joy Thompson, for the first time ever, commented on one of my posts, and that was the first notification that I saw as I was going to post about her book, which was just like…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:22:53
Some people think these things are coincidences, and I absolutely believe that they are confirmations from the Lord that are saying, Shanna, I see you. I see you.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:03
I'm here. I'm in this.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:06
And I, that just, oh my word, I love that so much.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:11
What else am I loving? Of course, I can't do a favorites without my own self-care as stewardship, a 31 day devotional.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:20
I'm going live every day with my paid subscribers on Substack in September, going through each day of the devotional. And so if you join my Substack, if you subscribe to my Substack at the paid level.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:36
You can watch all of those days, um, and finish out the month with us, or they're all going to be there, so if you want to just.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:45
To start day one on October 1st. You could go through it yourself in October. What else am I loving? Oh, the Life on Purpose Planner. Also by Shanna Pyzer.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:23:58
I have not been consistent about planning. There are a lot of empty pages in this planner that is for Quarter 3, and um… but… and I am… I…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:13
I'm getting consistent again. So I open, I cracked this back open and I had the last day I had done it was last Monday.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:21
Actually, last Tuesday. And before that, who knows? So.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:26
I love planning, love planning on purpose. That is my planner that I created, and I love it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:34
What else am I loving? Okay.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:37
I need to watch the time.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:42
Um, this… I bought this…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:24:45
at, um, the beginning of the year for my daughters-in-law and myself, and I am loving it. The Bible in a year. It's not exactly what I expected it to be, but each week, there is a different topic.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:00
Um, week one is creation in God's nature, week two is God's love, week three is faith, prayer, salvation, Holy Spirit, the church, worship, and so each day…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:11
There's a little reading and scripture. And so what I have been using this for actually is I have been using it to write out Bible verses. So I've been writing the Bible verses out each day.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:27
And I'm… I'm holding up the book and showing it. If you're not watching the video, you can go over to YouTube and watch the video. Um, this is the Bible in a year, a 52-week guide.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:37
a 52-week journey through God's Word, and it's so pretty. It's spiral-bound and hard.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:44
Hardcover and back.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:46
And it's just.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:48
It's fun and it's been really great. I bought myself.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:52
Actually, that is also one of my favorite things. I bought myself a…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:25:57
an amplified study Bible. And so I have been actually using my physical Bible when I am doing my devotions in the morning, except my Bible app devotionals.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:11
And I am loving it. And also, the word analog, I'm loving that word, because it has come up a few times, and when I hear that word, I just go.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:21
Yes, that is what I want, analog. Okay, final thing.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:26
I… I have… I had been curious about this for so long, the wellness box, and I finally… my… my daughter-in-law signed up for it, so I signed up for it under her. I had been super curious about it for a long time.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:41
And I started ordering it and I am loving it. Their coffee.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:46
It's so good.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:47
I'm loving their coffee.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:50
I am loving their dish soap.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:26:53
I am loving my hair products that I've gotten from them.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:00
I… I am a snob about my hair shampoo and conditioner, so I'm not 100% sold on that. Um, but I have been loving everything else, and I just got…
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:12
Riverbend Ranch premium beef tallow from them also.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:17
And I haven't tried that, but.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:20
I'm loving the wellness box.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:25
Also, I have this Endoflex Young Living Oil.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:29
I am loving this. I heard about this on a coaching call that I was on, and I was like, do I need Endoflex in my life? And a friend of mine was like, yes, you need Endoflex in your life.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:42
And it is a oil blend. I'm not even sure.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:50
What all it has in it because I did not look at that first.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:55
But it's it's good for hormone type stuff. And I.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:27:59
I really like it, and I just like to carry it around and sniff it, to be honest.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:28:04
Okay.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:28:06
Um, I have a client call in 2 minutes, so I think that I did really good on this. Um, if you have any questions about any of the things that I shared today, I really did not do this to be a commercial, but just to share, like… like, this is what's on my heart right now, this is what I am loving and appreciating.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:28:25
And it just felt like the right thing to do this week while I am reentering.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:28:32
my regularly scheduled programming in my business, which also being with my grandson is my regularly scheduled programming as well. So there's a rhythm. There's a rhythm to this life, and I am just going with it.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:28:47
I'm dancing to the beat of that rhythm.
[Shanna Pyzer | shannapyzer.com] 07:28:52
