March 04, 2025 152 // Breathe & Be Still: Replace Toxic Thoughts with Faith for EVERY Challenge
Hey Wellness Warrior Mama!
Welcome to another breath prayer episode, in the Breathe and be still series. Let's breathe and be still and know that He is Lord and you are safe, known, loved by Him.
In light of the Bold Blueprint launching into the world and this message God has given me to help his daughters live with less stress, overwhelm, busyness and more peace, energy, purpose and intentionality— I share this breath prayer today.

Because it takes courage to step forward out of the cycle of burn out, busyness or stress. It takes courage to step out of the status quo and declare you will live from peace and purpose and not fall to motherhood the world's way. It is a challenge that you can overcome!
verse: 'the Lord said to my Lord, " sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool." Acts 2:34-35
Get in a comfortable position, can do this anywhere at any time. Closing your eyes is a good way to focus, unless driving.
INHALE.... deep breath.....expand chest and lungs... each one taking deeper...speak words out audibly
EXHALE...breathe out audibly... let all the muscles and tension relax…speak words out audibly
3 min : inhale: Every challenge I face
exhale: is already under God's feet

If you desire for less stress in your life and more time on things that matter- like spiritual wellness, then the Bold Blueprint is for you!! Doors are now opened for this 12 week course and 6 month coaching program for less stress and more peace in your holistic life.

February 28, 2025 151 // Busy? Why Your Schedule Might Be Stealing Your Time & Purpose
Hey Wellness Warrior Mama!
Today, we’re going to have a real, heart-to-heart conversation—one that might step on your toes a little bit, but I promise it’s coming from a place of love. Because I was once you. If you would say you are a high achiever, busy mama, then listen up...
Today I'm talking directly to this person who says...
"I’m a high achiever. I like to stay busy. I don’t really feel stressed out. What do you have to say to me?"
You see this was me! I am such a high achiever and manage a full large plate very well....but that's not what it's all about...
There is an Illusion of Busyness vs. True Productivity....
And there is a trick of the enemy to keep you busy and distracted, away from producing fruit!

February 25, 2025 150 // 3 Steps for Less Stress and More Time in the Bible with Erika Diaz-Castro
Hey mama,

If you want to read the Bible more, but have no time to do it, or don’t really have the desire to prioritize it then today’s conversation is for you.

If you just love a good testimony of God’s redemption, grace and faithfulness, then today’s conversation is for you!

I had an amazing conversation with Erika Diaz-Castro where we talked about everything from anxiety, new age and cancer to discipleship, near death experiences and how to read the Bible.
Erika is a Christ follower, wife, and mama. She founded Her Renewed Strength Co. to get more women in God’s Word. Through private coaching and Her Renewed Strength — The Podcast, she shares about all things Bible and theology to help Christian women grow in their faith. Erika is currently completing a Master of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. When she’s not with her family or completing coursework, she’s probably reading, writing, and enjoying a good cup of coffee.

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.
