May 13, 2025 168 // Decision Fatigue? 4 Step Method to Reduce Stress in Your Holistic Health Choices: with Savannah Scagliotti
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!
You care for everyone else. You know a lot about health and wellness and medicine. But, do you care for your own wellness? I was so bombarded with medicine, that it was very normal for me to pop 800 mg of ibuprofen for a headache, but not address my eating or sleeping habits. It was very normal for me to deal with gut issues for - my whole life really- and take my IBS diagnosis as B.S. and continue symptom management. Until I looked at my own holistic wellness as something to care for- to steward well- I cared for others WAY better than myself- and this took a toll. Can you relate?

Well, today we are going to have a conversation with holistic health practitioner, Savannah Scagliotti. Savannah is a Christian based holistic health practitioner, herbalist and alignment specialist. Helping families near and far understand God’s true plan for HOLY-istic living in His creation. It's a great conversation where she stresses the importance of discernment for our own health, and getting that discernment from the Holy Spirit. She walks us through her 4 steps process in discerning health decisions and how to know the right decisions to make.

May 06, 2025 167 // Balancing Scrubs & Self-Care: Holistic Wellness for Working Moms in Healthcare
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Ch cha changes.... I actually don't like when things change, but I've learned to appreciate the growth. If I'm abiding with Jesus, then when things change (not all) it's for my growth of more fruit. I have been in quite the pruning season and one thing that's been affected is this podcast.

For one, I dropped to one episode a week. For two, I’m going to talk more to the person I was...which is a burnt out nurse. SO as they say in the business world, I'm niching down, you will hear me talk more directly to the nurse, healthcare provider. I'll share more on the behind the scenes of this decision in my weekly newsletter! (so if not there, get on that) https://www.theshanwright.com/insider

BUT what is still true..... my mission/ heart to help burnt out moms heal from burnout and live boldly in Christ. You can be a nurse, CNA, physical therapist, hygienist, dietician....or teacher...or any kind of working caregiver- mom! I’m talking to the Helpers!!
You know your heart is so big that it's your career and mission to help others- you may get paid for it- or maybe you don't and it's a volunteer position OR you are constantly helping all those friends and family members- you are a true Martha- but don't realize you aren't helping yourself!

And even more wild that I made this announcement today which starts Nurses Appreciation Week. Happy Nurses Week! This episode is dedicated to that, but also a little spin. Today we are going to talk about you appreciating YOU- something only YOU can do! Let's go!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

April 29, 2025 166 // How to Recognize a Godwink: Hearing from God in Everyday (Stressful) Life – with SQuire and Louise Rushnell
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Do you know what a Godwink is?? Well, this episode is a Godwink, this conversation and the time and day it happened was a complete Godwink. Godwinks remind us that we are not alone and God is with us at all times.

I had the privilege and honor to speak with the exact person who coined the term Godwink! Authors, creators Squire Rushnell and Louise DuArt Rushnell.
SQuire Rushnell… • Led Good Morning America to #1 • A father of ABC Schoolhouse Rock Louise DuArt… • Top Comedic Impressionist • Co-starred on tour - Tim Conway/Harvey Korman
SQuire is the New York Times Bestselling author who coined the term “Godwink” and has authored a series of 13 Godwink Books—7 co-authored by Louise—in over 30 languages and 2.5 million sold. SQuire & Louise are Executive Producers of the acclaimed Hallmark Godwink Movie Series, Premiering #1 for 4 seasons, and their first Godwink/Dogwink Movie for Netflix, “Rescued by Ruby,” was watched by over 100 million viewers worldwide. They are the founders of the nonprofit, Pray Together Stay Together.

You will want to create time to listen to this whole episode!! Pop in your earbuds in the grocery or on a walk, listen in the car or while making dinner- find the time because it will fill you so much! There is a big challenge at the end! That will change your life!!! (see link below)

God is speaking all the time, but we are missing it. EVERY person longs to be connected to the ONE who made them and unconditionally loves them! Learning about Godwinks and how to get them is key!

If you're feeling that nudge to live with more peace, purpose, and energy, the Bold Blueprint is for you. It’s time to steward your one life well. Join us at www.theshanwright.com/bold - THIS may just be your Godwink moment!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

April 22, 2025 165 // Mom of 4 and Nurse, Discovers She is in Burnout- 3 Ways She Got Out!
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Are you in burnout? How do you know? This mom to 4 and nurse, was in burnout for years before she even realized it! She shares her story and what she did to discover she was in burnout and then how she got out!

This is a conversation I had with Jeanelle Classen in the Nursing the Nurse facebook group. Community and accountability are vital components in getting out of burnout.
Being plugged into a facebook group could be the simple encouragement you need to take bold action.

Or perhaps you are ready for The Bold Blueprint - 6 month group coaching program to have life changing transformation for good! To learn how to steward your ONE body, family, time, purpose, life on this Earth. Enrollment is open for your courageous step!

April 18, 2025 164 // Breathe & Be Still : LIVE with Less Stress + More LIFE (because He LIVES)
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!
In light of Good Friday being today and Easter Sunday, I bring you this breath prayer. Jesus conquered all sin and death on the cross for you and for me and for the world. AND THEN he rose 3 days later . His resurrection from the dead , victory over all gives us life. He is Risen and alive and that means as we receive this gift- alive in us!

As we live life, we get wrapped up in the stress of it all- even burnt out on stress - we have to remember Jesus is alive in us and gives all peace, joy, hope, love, strength, LIFE. He lives in us SO we can live.

Sit with this truth. Breathe it in and speak it out and as you do listen to what God is speaking back to you about Jesus Christ being alive and living in you.
Verse: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” – Galatians 2:20
inhale: Christ is alive…
Exhale: and lives in me.

Breathe in LIFE.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

April 08, 2025 162 // Nurse, Caregiver, or Mama— Are you in Burn Out or Simply Stressed Out?
Hey, Intentional Wellness Warrior!

Today, I'm sharing an interview I had on my friend Melissa Armstrong’s podcast- Holistic Health with Melissa. I broke up the conversation, so to hear the whole thing head over to her show!

But, in this conversation I share my testimony of my nursing career. How I experienced burnout and wasn't even aware of it! How I wish I knew NOW what I practice and could go back and help myself then. But, it can help you!

Are you a nurse, healthcare professional, caregiver or care professional?? (And all moms are!!) Then this is for you! Caring for ourselves holistically is so important to get out and stay out of burn out and to care for our people well! This is for all the helpers....I pray this blesses you!

Speaking of taking intentional courageous action….

About Beat Nurse Burnout | Holistic Health, Stress, Burnout, Christian Nurse

From the publisher's feed

Are you an exhausted nurse running on empty? Do you feel irritable after every shift, emotionally numb, or like you're just surviving instead of thriving? Maybe you're a night shift nurse who can't sleep, a bedside nurse drowning in documentation, or a healthcare mom who feels like she's failing everyone.

You want work-life balance, but it feels impossible. You crave connection with God, quality time with your spouse and kids, and just five minutes of peace—but patience and presence seem out of reach after another exhausting shift. You know you need self-care, but you're so depleted from caring for everyone else that you don't even know where to start.

Sound familiar? You might not realize it yet, but you're experiencing nurse burnout—or heading there fast.

You're in the right place, and you're not alone.

I'm Shan Wright—wife, mom to 4, Registered Nurse, and Holistic Nurse Coach. I've been where you are: burnt out at bedside, struggling with postpartum anxiety, feeling disconnected from God and my family, and wondering if this exhausting cycle was just "how it is" for nurses. After burning out in bedside nursing, I realized I couldn't pour from an empty cup. I sought the Prince of PEACE and charted my way to whole-body wellness through simple, faith-based holistic practices—and I'm excited to share them with you!

On this podcast, you'll discover how to:

Overcome high-functioning fatigue and stop just surviving shift to shift

Set boundaries without guilt at work and home

Manage nursing stress so work doesn't hijack your home life

Process emotions through faith-based practices instead of suppressing them

Create sustainable self-care that doesn't feel like another task

Build emotional resilience to handle difficult patients and workplace drama

Find work-life balance that actually works for 12-hour shifts

Reclaim your energy, peace, and purpose beyond the badge

Experience joy by embracing your identity in Christ—not just as a nurse

Let's get our heads out of the medication cart and never-ending charting and courageously navigate this nursing journey TOGETHER!

Go ahead—heat up that coffee (again), clock out mentally, and let's chat, Nurse!

God's got this. New episodes every week.
