In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli Shaw—certified integrative health coach and neuroscience researcher—breaks down the neuroscience of “resurrection”: how the brain forms familiar identity pathways, why your mind keeps pulling up an old version of you, and what it actually takes to build a new route.

You’ll learn:

• How childhood experiences can quietly shape the beliefs your nervous system still lives from

• Why change can feel uncomfortable—even when it’s good

• Why affirmations fall flat when your brain doesn’t have evidence yet

• A simple 3-step process to rewire: notice the old route, name the new identity, and prove it with small actions

• A quick “One Minute Reset” you can use the moment you feel yourself slipping back

Anchor statement: We work from the top down. Identity is always first. Then perception. Your perception creates your behavior, your behavior dictates your actions and your actions produce your results. Your results won’t change consistently until your identity does.

If you know someone who keeps calling their life a problem… when it’s actually a challenge… send them this episode. Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t advice—it’s a new lens.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli invites you to examine the invisible “prescription” you’ve been living through—your beliefs and values—and how they quietly shape what you keep seeing in your life.

If everything has felt like a problem lately, this conversation will help you shift the lens: from threat to challenge, from fear to faith, from old identity to new.

Building on the prior episode “What Are You Carrying?”, Kelli explores what spills out under pressure—and what pressure also reveals: the lens you’ve been wearing, sometimes without realizing it.

You’ll learn a simple framework to identify the belief acting like a lens, uncover the value protecting it, and replace it with a new value you’re willing to embody.

This is a practical, identity-first episode designed to help you stop living inside the same story—so you can step into resurrection.

You’re not “just an angry person.”

You’re living in an anger loop—a nervous-system pattern that can rewire your brain, hijack your reactions, and quietly become an identity.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, I’m walking you through what’s really happening in your brain and body when anger becomes your default, why it can feel strangely rewarding, and how to interrupt the loop without losing your power.

You’ll learn a simple, repeatable framework—R.I.S.E.—to regulate your nervous system, rewrite the identity underneath the anger, and build proof of a new you.

Because we work from the top down:

Identity is always first. Then perception. Your perception creates your behavior, your behavior dictates your actions and your actions produce your results. Your results won’t change consistently until your identity does.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why anger isn’t just an emotion—it’s an “alarm system” state

• How chronic stress can shape brain function and keep you reactive

• Why anger can create short-term “relief” that reinforces the cycle

• The R.I.S.E. framework to break the loop and resurrect a new identity

• A 7-day “Anger Exit Plan” you can start today

If this hit home, share it with someone who’s been living on edge—not to call them out, but to call them forward.

Welcome to The Resurrection Room—a sacred space where we exhale, get honest, and come back to who God designed us to be. I

’m Kelli, a certified integrative health coach and a neuroscience researcher.

In this episode, “What Are You Carrying In Your Cup?” we start with a simple moment of enlightenment: what spills out of you when life bumps into you? But the deeper question underneath it changes everything:

Through the wisdom of a monk, here is a deeply practical “inventory” you can use every morning. We’ll uncover what your reactions have been trying to reveal—about your burdens, your beliefs, your old identity, and the patterns you didn’t choose but may still be protecting.

Because here’s the truth: life will bump you. But what comes out of you is trainable.

• Why pressure doesn’t create what’s in you—it reveals it

• How old identity patterns keep “spilling” through your reactions

• How to release what no longer belongs to you—and intentionally “fill your cup”

• A 7-day morning practice to reset what you carry before the day carries you

Before you touch your phone or your to-do list: Take three deep breaths and ask out loud: “What am I carrying with me today?”

Have you ever walked into a room and felt yourself shrink—before anything even happened?

In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli Shaw gets honest about the invisible identity script that’s been running your life: the labels you’ve worn so long they started to feel like truth.

We’re taking that old name tag off today—no negotiating. Like a bandaid that’s been on way too long. It might sting… but healing moves faster when you stop covering the wound with a lie.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn a simple 3-part framework you can use immediately:

Recognize the old identity script, Interrupt autopilot reactions, and Rehearse your new name until it becomes normal.

Plus, you’ll do a guided Resurrection Practice: “Rip Off the Name Tag”—a moment to release the label and choose the name Heaven agrees with.

Action for the next 24 hours: write your new name where you can see it—and take one small proof step to show your mind you’re serious.

Also, write a review and follow so you won’t miss a single episode.

And in case no one has told you lately: you are loved, you are seen, you are not forgotten, and you are not too late.

Go gently. Go boldly. And let your resurrection begin.

Most goals don’t fail in January—they fail when you wake up as the same version of you on January 2nd.

In this episode of The Resurrection Room™, I’m Kelli, a certified integrative health coach and a neuroscience researcher, and I’ll show you how to stop letting your old identity vote on your future.

You’ll learn the 3-step Identity Design framework—Name the woman, Train the woman, Protect the woman—and you’ll walk away with a simple weekly Resurrection Reset you can repeat all year.

Identity, then perception, then behavior, then the outcomes—your results won’t change consistently until your identity does.

Your Mind Is Loud Because You’re Silent Ever find yourself “arguing” in your own head like you’re on trial—replaying failures, predicting rejection, and spiraling so hard your body reacts like it’s happening right now?

In this episode of The Resurrection Room with Kelli Shaw, you’ll learn how to interrupt the argument in your head in real time—by using your voice, regulating your nervous system, and grounding yourself in what’s true (not what fear is predicting).

You’ll walk away with a simple framework you can use anywhere—car, kitchen, shower, before a scary conversation, or in the middle of anxiety.

We cover:

• Why silence makes spirals louder

• The practical difference between Truth vs Facts

• The N.I.P. method: Name it, Interrupt it, Proclaim what’s true

• A quick “name interrupt” technique backed by psychology

• Five Speak-It-Now moves to stop the courtroom in your mind

• A guided practice + a challenge to train this into a reflex

🎧 If your mind has been loud lately… this one is for you.

Summary

In this episode, Kelli guides listeners through a reflective process aimed at embracing change and personal growth. She emphasizes the importance of identity in shaping our experiences and outcomes, encouraging listeners to engage in a 'resurrection review' to extract wisdom from their past season.

Takeaways

Changing the calendar doesn't change the woman; a new identity does. This episode is about extracting wisdom from what you lived. We're not reopening wounds; we're closing chapters. Reflection without decision is just a memory. Survival identities have an expiration date. Your high points aren't random; they're instructions. Your identity doesn't need hype; it needs evidence. Resurrection isn't a moment; it's a maintained decision. You are loved, you are seen, you are not forgotten. Let your resurrection begin.
