June 20, 2025 175 / Breathe & Be Still: Relief For Your Stress Load, Caregiver
Welcome to another breath prayer episode, in the Breathe & Be Still series. Let's breathe and be still and know that He is Lord and you are safe, known, loved by Him.
So often in your life, you are the rock. You are other’s rock. They rely on you for strength, support, encouragement, love, help. You love to serve and you are dependable. BUT, you can not carry all of your cares and all the cares of everyone else too! Your patients, clients, friends, children, spouse, family....That's too much of a load to carry. The Lord wants to carry them and He is the only one able.

Verse:
Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you;
Get in a comfortable position, can do this anywhere at any time. but closing eyes is a good way to focus, unless driving.
Inhale.... deep breath.....expand chest and lungs... each one taking deeper... Exhale...breathe out audibly... let all the muscles and tension relax
Speak out, on the inhale and exhale for 3 min :
Inhale: Lord, I cast my cares on you
Exhale: you will sustain me

Caregiver, if your load is heavy, let’s unload your stress together on a free stress assessment call—a customized, personalized session where we’ll uncover:
💥 Your current stress level
💥 What’s actually causing it
💥 And your next best step to get relief
….of course, with Holy Spirit as our guide and Counselor.
You don’t have to carry it alone. Let’s lay it down and walk your life with more energy, joy and purpose! 💛
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Welcome Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Today, I want to speak to my nurse and healthcare mama friends—and really any caregiving mom—who’s said something like:
“I don’t think I’m burnt out from work… It’s probably just homeschool burnout.” Or, “No, I love my job. Getting out of the house actually helps!”
If that’s been you, I want to say two things up front:
💛 I hear you 💛 And... can we pause and look at the whole picture?
You are a holistic being and burnout is affecting your whole self, not just segments. This episode comes from experience and gives encouragement for practical burnout recovery!

Here’s your next step—and I made it simple:
🎁 I’m offering a Free Stress Assessment Coaching Session.
Together, in 60 minutes, we’ll:

June 10, 2025 173 / Feeling Easily Triggered? Practical Solutions for Stressed Moms with Amber Lia
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!

I have a returning guest today and I'm so excited about it! Amber Lia is back with her new devotional and to share real practical tips on how we can be untriggered as a mom.

Amber was also on episode 60 and is full of wisdom. Whether you are a working nurse as a mom, healthcare professional, or caretaker of any sort- we long for peace and to feel less triggered in life. For me many times, my work or things unrelated to my kids was and still is sometimes behind my reactions to them- and that does not feel good. As a burnt out nurse and mom I have struggled with mom rage and guilt. Amber, who co-authored a book with Wendy Speak, Triggers, helped me immensely! And now her new devotional, Untriggered, is what us moms need to start the day in peace!
A former high school English teacher, Amber Lia is a work-at-home mom of four little boys ages 5 to 15. She and her husband, Guy, own Storehouse Media Group, a faith and family-friendly TV and Film production company in Chattanooga, TN. A certified independent health coach, Amber offers insight for all things health and wellness for anyone looking to live life to the full! When she's not building sand castles with her boys on the beach, or searching for Nerf darts all over her house, you can find Amber writing to encourage families at AmberLia.com.

While you are here, do you even know where your stress level is? We tend to help all our people all the time and end up in burnout or heading there without even realizing it. Taking the time to check your stress level like checking your fuel level is so important! We can’t keep going without gas, and we can’t keep going with a stress tank overflowing.
That’s why I’m offering a free stress assessment call—a short, personalized session where we’ll uncover:
💥 Your current stress level
💥 What’s actually causing it
💥 And your next best step to get relief
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Let’s catch the stress before it leads to burnout. 💛
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

June 03, 2025 172 / Nurse Mom, Are You Priming Your Brain For Stress & Anxiety? When & How You Most Likely Are.
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!

I thought about this word and action we do often in nursing…priming. We prime tubing with saline to prepare it for the solution we intend to get to the patient. You are making something ready for use by priming it.

Let's relate this to our minds. Yes, we have stressful jobs in healthcare, but are we unintentionally priming your mind for stress and anxiety? Are we setting ourselves up to fail or succeed?

Most of the time I think we un- intentionally- prime our minds for stress. And there are 2 main times we are doing this. Oops! Let's look into how we are priming our minds.

While you are here….You are invited to a free, virtual, experiential Workshop!

The Find More Time Workshop will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy without adding more to your to-do list.

💛 In just ONE hour, you’ll walk away with:
✅ A fresh, faith-centered view of time (and why you always feel like it’s running out)

✅LIVE Courageous coaching to replace burnout with bold peace
✅ Encouragement that meets you exactly where you are
💬 “This is not just another webinar. It’s a moment to pause, realign, and breathe again—with God at the center.” 💡 Plus, we’re giving away over $2000 in prizes to registrants—including wellness gifts and coaching bonuses!
👋 I’m a nurse of 19 years, a mom of 4, and a holistic wellness coach who has lived burnout firsthand. This workshop is my gift to you—and I promise it will be worth every minute.

May 27, 2025 171 / Your Identity is NOT a Nurse or Mom: Real Talk with Health Coach, Zanna Foley
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Today we are talking to one of my key players in my holistic healing journey. She is one of my best friends and she is the one who taught me and most importantly held me accountable to rewiring my brain.
In this episode we talk about things that will make your life less stressful as a busy nurse, caregiver, health care professional that work so well for her as a mom to 4.

Also, we talk about cold plunging, including the benefits of contrast therapy and the most important thing we hit on is identity. Who we are affects everything! And did you know your identity is NOT a nurse, a mom, or your profession!? Find out what it is, inside this episode.

Zanna Foley is a real life friend, mom to 4, wife and Kingdom sister. She is a connector, encourager, and coach of holistic living and particularly through health, nutrition and wellness therapies. She helps others “live life Foley” with purpose, vitality and freedom.
I know you will love this conversation.

May 23, 2025 170 / Breathe & Be Still: Truth Your Helper's Heart Needs to Hear
Hey Nurse Mom, Caregiver friend,
You care for everyone so well, but do not have the time, energy or belief left to care for yourself. I believe if we truly found ourselves worthy of the crown, found our worth as a daughter of the King and lived in that truth, we wouldn't find ourselves in Stressedout-ville or Burnout Bay. I think it all comes back to worth. self-worth.

Do you know he created YOU as a masterpiece! And he planned all the good, amazing things you would do in this life- abundant life. And do you know he died for YOU? So that He could spend eternity with you in a perfect place with no sin or brokenness. God says you are worthy! Will you believe Him?

Let's deep breathe, pray and meditate on the scripture and may it transform our hearts and minds.
The verse for our breath prayer is:
10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. Ephesians 2:10 AMP
3 min :
Inhale: I am Your masterpiece, Lord
Exhale: Created for the good works You already prepared

Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

May 20, 2025169 // 🚨 6 Warning Signs You’re Headed Toward Burnout
Hey Wellness Warrior!
i didn't know I was in burnout for years!! This means I had many different transitions in and out of my life and still didnt know. I thought this is life, and I am managing it the best I can. And we hear that advice or encouragement often - “you are doing the best you can.” And not to shame that advice at all, but is that really it? If we are just managing the best we can with the resources at our disposal is that the best we can live life??
There were signs in my life, but I was missing them....I didn't want to see them. But friend, if we don't see it, we can't remove it, we can't heal from it.
Today, I’m walking you through 5 subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that you may be heading straight for burnout—even if you love your job, your family, and Jesus…and you are doing the best you can.
If you can relate to one or more of those signs, I want you to know:

You are not weak. You are not broken. You are not alone. You are simply carrying too much for too long, and your soul is sending signals it needs support.
So here’s what I want you to do next:
🎯Head to 👉 www.theshanwright.com/quiz and take the “Am I in Burnout?” Quiz.
It’s quick, insightful, and will show you where you are on the burnout spectrum—and what to do next.
Whether your result is:
✅ NOT YET – we’ll show you how to stay well
⚠️ ON YOUR WAY – we’ll help you take action before it’s too late
💔 SADLY YES – I’ll help you climb back out step-by-step
Every quiz taker also gets a chance to book a free clarity STRESS ASSESSMENT call with me to talk through your next best step.
So don’t stay in survival mode, sis. Clarity is the beginning of healing.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

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.
