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 Prevention

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.
