August 19, 2025 186/ 📅 Holy Rhythms: A Weekly Routine for the Burnt Out Caregiver
Hey Wellness Warrior,
If you’re a nurse mom, healthcare professional, or caregiver—your schedule probably looks more like a puzzle someone shook up and dumped on the floor than a nice, clean calendar. Long shifts, unpredictable hours, on-call duties, and then coming home to your second shift: parenting, marriage, household responsibilities.
I want to talk today about something that might sound impossible in your world, but I promise—it’s not. And if you lean in and listen, I think you’ll see it might be the thing your mind, body, and spirit are desperate for.
It’s what I call a weekly reset rhythm—a holy rhythm of rest.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

August 15, 2025 185/ Breathe & Be Still: Finding Peace in the Stress of Shifting Seasons
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!

Are you going through it? By “it” I mean anything! Are you in a season of change or transition?

With the changes of life, many feelings accompany those changes. Some of these changes can feel very hard and bring complex feelings. These feelings can send our stress buckets pouring over into burnout.

This breath prayer in the Breathe & Be Still Series (once a month podcast series) is for that caregiving mom who is IN it. You are trying to push through and keep it all together in this new season.

Let’s take a BREATH and BE STILL with the One who can give us peace, grace and joy in the hard changes.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

August 05, 2025 183/ Your Burnout Misconceptions : What it ACTUALLY Feels Like
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!

If you’re a nurse, healthcare provider, or full-time caregiver… I want to ask you something gently today:
Have you ever said, “I’m just tired.” Or maybe: “This is just a busy season.” Or even: “Everyone feels like this—it’s part of the job.”
Then this episode is for you. Because what if that exhaustion… is something more? What if you are believing misconceptions of what burnout is and you don’t realize you are in it?
Today, we’re breaking down the misconceptions of burnout—what burnout isn’t… and what it actually feels like.
And friend, if you’re not sure where you land, I’ve got a super helpful free quiz that will give you clarity. You can take the quiz after listening at: [www.theshanwright.com/quiz].

Shalom Shalom,

July 29, 2025 182/ From Scrubs to Style: How to Get Dressed Without the Stress- Nikki Hinrichs
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!
If you’re a nurse, healthcare professional, or caregiving mama, you’re probably used to wearing scrubs or a uniform most days—and let’s be honest, when it’s time to get dressed for anything else, it can feel frustrating, overwhelming, or just plain exhausting.
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Nikki Hinrichs—a homeschool mom of 4 and personal brand stylist—who totally gets the juggle of motherhood, function, and faith. We talk about how what we wear affects how we feel, how to bring confidence back into your closet without stress, and why getting dressed can be a form of self-care and stewardship.
If you’ve ever said, “I don’t even know where to start when it comes to clothes,” this conversation will meet you with grace, practical tips, and maybe even some renewed joy in showing up as the woman God created you to be—outside the scrubs.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

July 22, 2025 181/ Reclaim Your Time: LIVE Coaching with Stressed Caregiver, Mom to 4
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!

As a Nurse or Healthcare pro, we learn in schooling how to keep time, how to prioritize our tasks in time. We know to always start with the ABC's in emergency situations. Even as a caregiver we get into routines that can help us prioritize our time. BUT, what happens in emergency life situations or just on your stressful Tuesday?? You aren't working and you are in charge of prioritized tasks for your own family's life. Your stress bucket is full and starting to spill over. How do you handle the everyday "I have too much to do with too little time?!"

Today,I have a LIVEcoaching treat for you from my experiential Find More Time Workshop. I coached a live guest in using the STOP method. And once you are through hearing this real life scenario, go check out the oldie but goodie episode on my ABC method for prioritizing time - Episode 52.

I know you will relate to this stressed Caregiver who is a mom to 4 and wears many hats. She wants to live well and make the most of her time.

July 18, 2025 180/ Breathe & Be Still : Lose Control for True Freedom
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!

If you're anything like me, you're used to doing. Solving problems, staying busy, holding it all together—because if you slow down, it feels like everything might fall apart. You may just lose CONTROL.

But what if stillness wasn’t weakness? What if stillness was actually strength—because it allows God to step in and fight for you? What if letting go of control was POWERFUL.
This is for the high achiever, the fixer, the perfectionist, the one who’s always hustling to keep it all in control.

Verse: Exodus 14:14 " The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."
Inhale: God fights for me,
Exhale: so I can be still.

Press play to join me in deep breathing and being still.

Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

July 15, 2025 179/ ⚠️Cortisol’s High & Life Feels Off Track? How to Care for Yourself in Trauma & Uncertainty- Kari Davis (Part 2)
Hey Wellness Warrior!

Nursing and health care is flexible. We can choose many different ways to do with that craft, and exercise those giftings. Maybe your story is like mine and you laid down nursing to be a stay at home mom, but still want to be in health and wellness in some way. Maybe you are burnt out on full time nursing and desire to go part time or per diem and use your gifting and calling in another stream of income. But how do you pursue your purpose with passion when things are chaotic?? What are the first steps, next steps and practical to do’s?

Lean in to part 2 of this conversation with Kari Davis, as we will not only talk about this, but also finish her traumatic testimony and how to overcome grief and trauma as a mom and live holistically well.

July 01, 2025 177/ 👩‍⚕️ Nurse Burnout Is Real: How to Lower Stress Even When the Job Won’t Change
Hey Wellness Warrior!
Let’s talk today about something I know hits home for so many of us nurses, healthcare pros, caregivers...
👉 “How do I reduce stress... when healthcare IS stressful?”
Because you might be thinking: “Shan, I don’t need a stress assessment—I KNOW I’m stressed. But I can’t exactly walk away from my shift, from charting, from patient care, or from my calling.”
And you’re right. You can’t change everything about the system or the chaos around you.
But you can begin shifting what’s happening inside you.
So today, I want to gently walk you through three ways you can lower your stress level even when your work won’t change right away.

Stay to the end for a very POWERFUL Invitation!!

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.
