November 05, 2024 118 // What Are They Thinking?? A Heartfelt Talk With My Tween Daughter About Stress
Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋

I’m super excited for today’s conversation because I have been wanting to have one of my kids on for a while now! For a few reasons....
1) it will be fun
2) You are a lot like me,mama, and that means your kids are a lot like you and that means you should be able to relate what my kid says to yours! Hearing my daughter's perspective on some of this may help you in conversations with your kids...that's my hope!

3) We recently watched inside out 2 and have seen 1 again, and it made me want to get into my daughter’s head like we get to see into Riley’s. She was a little nervous to start...but I think she shares some good stuff.

I pray this blesses you!

Speaking of kids...Christmas is coming!!
You may remember in ep 105 with Jenna Michael (the author of lets be less) we discussed Christmas gifts a little bit. And I shared how we were probably transitioning in our family to the 4 gifts- want, need, wear, read. Well, this isn't the easiest transition and doing anything new and different comes with a learning curve and extreme intentionality. Once all the hoopla and busyness kicks in it's going to be so easy to go back to what's comfortable and typica!

SO, Jenna and I are teaming up for a Christmas gifting LIVE in the fb group (new name: Simple Wellness Solutions for Motherhood Stress) bit.ly/holistichacks on 11/12 at 3pm EST. It will be live in the group so the replay will be there! Come chat with us and discover how we are trying our hardest to keep Jesus as the center of Christmas.

Also, if facebook groups aren't your thing and you are stressed about the holidays, let's chat about it!! We can learn how to take action in a perspective shift together in a free 15 min chat. Book that bit.ly/chatwithshan .

Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

November 01, 2024 117 // 3 Perspective Shifts To See Your Anxiety Decrease
Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋

Have you ever prayed the prayer “Open my eyes Lord, help me to see others and today with your perspective” Or something of the sort. This was and still is a common prayer of mine, and in October 2022, he did not only open my eyes, but I learned a great deal about vision from an eye infection. God taught me how to shift my perspective to not only learn from my pain, but also reduce my anxiety in the process.

Being that God has given vision as my word of the year, I have been thinking dreaming, looking into that a lot...so there is so much to say about it. But, today I’ll FOCUS on 3 steps you can take to SHIFT your perspective, so that you can get out of the anxiety loop.

ALSO, Can you even believe today is November 1st?! At least it is the day this releases. and we have only 2 months left of 2024. And also, this is the busiest time of the year! How are you feeling about that?? Does your mind and heart and home feel cluttered? Like there is too much!?

Then I have TWO things that will serve you!

#1 Kristina Borseti (who was on the pod - episode 108 and I was on her podcast, Organized on Purpose - ep. 84) is doing a Fall 5 day quick start declutter challenge! It starts Monday 11/4. Head to her fb group Decluttering and Organizing Made Easy to join!

#2- Jenna Michael (author of Let's Be Less) who was on ep105 is coming on the Holistic Living for Christian Moms fb group for a Holiday LIVE. We will talk about Christmas gifts! This will be 11/12...make sure you are in the group to watch live or replay.

Also, if facebook groups aren't your thing and you are stressed about the holidays, let's chat about it!! We can learn how to take action in a perspective shift together in a free 15 min chat. Book that bit.ly/chatwithshan .

Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

October 29, 2024 116 // Worry, Stress & Anxiety: What's the Difference and Is There a Healthy Level?
Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
You my friend, have probably said the following words more than once within the past week: worry, stress, and anxiety. Today, I want to talk about these three feelings and what they mean, how they’re different, and if there’s such a thing as a “healthy” level of these emotions.
Let’s start by saying that worry, stress, and anxiety are all part of life and part of motherhood. They’re natural responses to the challenges we face. But, God also doesn’t want us to live in constant fear, anxiety, or stress. So, let’s break each of these down together.

And ALSO, if you have said these words, then I KNOW, ME TOO, I GET IT! I was there and oftentimes use all of them and include overwhelmed, exhausted, maybe even burned out. BUT, I found a way to learn what my feelings were telling me and find a place of peace. Honestly, that peace that passes understanding. I took intentional action and found myself with more time, energy, presence and peace! Do you want that? I know you do! Because, I can guarantee between the diapers, bathroom trips, 20 snacks, getting dinner in the crockpot, work requests, and trying to squeeze in a workout, or some prayer time with God... your plate is overflowing and you can't seem to fit it all on, but NOTHING can come off. Let's just chat about it for 15 min! While the kids are having lunch or while playing taxi driver or while they are playing in the backyard..let's chat about how you CAN find more time, energy and peace in this exact season you are in. It is possible!! Book that at bit.ly/chatwithshan - free heart to heart, talk about your stress and how to reduce it today!

Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Today we have a guest on the show that may just speak to what is at the root cause of your daily stress and anxiety. My guest is Melissa Armstrong, RN turned Trauma Health Coach.
She says: “My chaotic, traumatic childhood included parental addiction and abuse, a school shooting at 15, and witnessing my brother's death at 18. Unresolved trauma led to severe physical symptoms, prompting me to explore alternative healing. Over 20+ years, I transitioned from nursing to being a Trauma-Informed Functional Health Coach. I now guide women in healing their mind, body, and spirit through mind-body connection, somatic work, nervous system regulation, lab testing, lifestyle changes, and nutrition. Healing is always possible!”

Today is PART 3 of our Live Healthy Mom Series!
Why this 3 part series? Because we are admittedly women under a great deal of stress and because chronic stress causes chronic inflammation which causes chronic disease, we need to talk about it!! WE, YOU, are a mama who wants to be healthy! I know You want to be holistically WELL, you want to care for your whole person. BUT it's confusing and overwhelming and a LOT!

SOO, I was listening to The Resetter’s Podcast with Dr. Mindy Peltz and she was asked this question of - “what are the 3 most important things women should pay attention to to be healthy?” And I loved her answers! I'm going to expand on each one in it’s own episode and make it a 3 part series.

Today, we’re diving into something super important for your well-being: avoiding toxins in all aspects of your life. And no, I’m not just talking about the chemicals in your cleaning supplies—I’m talking about the toxic people, toxic conversations, toxic foods, and the environmental toxins that can weigh you down physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Toxins don’t just come in the form of pollutants or bad ingredients. They can show up in our relationships, in how we speak to ourselves, in what we eat, and in the spaces we inhabit. When we become more intentional about avoiding these toxins, we can enhance our overall quality of life and experience more peace.
Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Today, we’re diving into something that’s often overlooked in our busy, modern lives—the natural rhythms that guide us every day.
These rhythms—whether they are the cycles of the day, seasons, or even our body’s own internal clocks—can have a huge impact on our physical, mental, and emotional health. When we align with these natural rhythms, we can experience more energy, better moods, and greater overall balance. But when we go against them—staying up late, skipping meals, or pushing through exhaustion—we can feel off-balance and burned out.
In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the rhythms of life and how you, as a busy mom, can use them to create a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. Listen to the end for the MOST important Rhythm!
Let's go to battle!

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
In the last episode we talked about not BEing anxious, but feeling it. Go listen if you haven't yet to episode 109. That brings us into the episode of not just thinking we are how we are but realizing, we are constantly in a state of becoming! We won't BE until glory- that's our destination and until then we are pursuing- becoming- going up the mountain to a more well version of ourselves. In fact that's what my coaching is all about!! Come pursue your holistic wellness with me facing courage up the mountain of challenges, hard truths, wind, rain, snow and pushing forward with consistency and confidence! Grab a Holistic Wellness Accountability Session with me at theshanwright.com/coaching.

Instead of getting stuck in the hard and in the anxious moments, we have to get curious about the feelings we are having. Why do I react that way? What is happening with my heart? What am I feeling?
TODAY we will talk about common triggers that lead us to anxiety and how we can use tools to combat these triggers, not just BE in them. But to know what they are and start becoming!! walking in the way of Jesus.

Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,

We all want a quick fix...to most things in life. And that includes our feelings. We feel something and we want to fix it, to make it go away, to figure it out.

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.
