In this episode, Shan sits down with Nadine Dyer — founder and CEO of Purposeful Living Inc. and a passionate advocate for the woman the world sees as strong, capable, and put-together, but who privately is carrying far more than anyone knows.
Nadine calls her the modern woman. And if you have ever smiled through exhaustion, performed competence while running on empty, or kept it together publicly while quietly falling apart — she is talking about you.
This conversation is honest, faith-filled, and deeply personal. Nadine shares the testimony that changed everything for her — the moment Jesus became not just a name she knew, but a living reality that reoriented her entire life. And she shares the two keys that have guided her and the women she serves toward a life with genuinely less stress — not as a coping strategy, but as a way of being.
In this episode, Nadine and Shan talk about:
This episode is for the nurse who gives everything at work and has nothing left when she gets home. It is for the woman who looks strong to everyone around her and feels like she is barely holding on. And it is for anyone who has wondered if there is a version of this life that feels less like white-knuckling and more like actually living.
The answer is yes. And this conversation is a good place to start.

What if I told you that some of the stress destroying your health right now has nothing to do with your patient load, your manager, or your schedule — and everything to do with what you are allowing into your mind every single day?
Today we are talking about the hidden input that is quietly fueling your burnout — and more importantly, what to do about it.
In this episode, Shan tackles one of the most overlooked drivers of nurse burnout — the mental and emotional inputs we are consuming every single day without realizing the toll they are taking on our nervous systems and our health.
This episode covers:
Links mentioned:
Chronic stress is not just a feeling. It is a physical process. It is breaking down your collagen, inflaming your joints, disrupting your hormones, accelerating your aging, and quietly doing damage that compounds over time. And most of us — especially nurses — have been in that chronic stress state for so long that we have forgotten what it feels like to not feel that way.
One of the most powerful tools I use personally and recommend to every woman I coach is Liquid BioCell Collagen — a clinically studied, highly bioavailable collagen and hyaluronic acid complex that your body can actually absorb and use to repair what chronic stress is breaking down. Joints. Skin. Gut. Energy. It works with your body's healing process instead of fighting against it.
And right now, in honor of Nurses Week and Mental Health Awareness Month, I am offering an extra $25 off when you DM me the word COLLAGEN on Instagram. @theshanwright. DM me and I will take care of you personally.

🎉Holistic Care for Nurse Burnout

In this episode I sit down with Stephanie Taylor, cardiac ICU nurse, mom, and holistic health advocate -for a raw and real conversation about what burnout actually looks like when it lives in your body, not just your mind.
Stephanie spent years at the bedside while her health quietly unraveled. Despite doing everything she knew to do like eating well, exercising, pushing through, she was exhausted, inflamed, in chronic pain, and carrying weight her body refused to let go of. At 5'2" and nearly 200 pounds, the number on the scale was the least of her concerns. She just didn't feel like herself anymore.
What changed wasn't a new diet or workout program. It was learning to support her body at a cellular level — reducing inflammation, improving absorption, and giving her body what it needed to actually heal — not just cope.
In this episode we talk about:
Whether you are deep in burnout, stuck in a cycle of trying and failing, or just running on fumes and wondering if this is as good as it gets — this episode will meet you where you are.
GIFT FOR YOU:
Happy Nurses Week and it is Mental Health Awareness Month and because I know you are dealing with chronic stress, I need to say: chronic stress is not just a feeling — it is a physical process that is aging your body, breaking down your collagen, disrupting your hormones, and quietly doing damage that compounds over time.
My favorite tool to support the holistic body and combat this head on is Liquid BioCell. It is not just a collagen. It is a clinically studied, highly bioavailable collagen and hyaluronic acid matrix that your body can actually absorb and use. It supports your joints, your skin, your gut, your energy — and it directly addresses the physical breakdown that chronic stress causes.
Because stress is aging us. And this is my favorite tool to fight back I want to extend an extra special coupon!
This month, in honor of Nurses Week and Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to give you an extra $25 off. All you have to do is send me a message on Instagram — just DM me the word COLLAGEN — and I will get you taken care of personally. https://www.instagram.com/theshanwright/
Your body has been doing hard things for a long time. It deserves real support. DM me COLLAGEN on Instagram and let's get you started. 💙

Welcome to another breath prayer episode, in the Breathe and be still series.
Maycember is upon us and we need a breath prayer for the busy, the hurried, the month that is extra, the MOM in may....and the one who is already stressed out BEFORE may!
And this one is special...this one is personal.
This breath prayer — More of You, Less of Me — was the first one I ever clung to. It found me in the middle of my burnout season. And if you're a high achiever, a recovering perfectionist, someone who has built their identity on doing things right — I believe it's going to find you today too.

Hey friend!
Have you ever had that quiet, persistent feeling that God is calling you to something more — something beyond the bedside — but you did not know what to do with it? Maybe you have been faithful to your nursing career, you have given it everything, and yet there is this stirring in your spirit that will not go away. Like there is something else. Something bigger. Something you were built for that your nursing license alone cannot contain.
If that resonates with you — stay right where you are. Because today's guest was made for this conversation.
I have the honor of introducing you to Leniesha Norwood. Leniesha is a critical care nurse, a homeschool mom, an entrepreneur, a Holy Spirit-led coach, and the host of the Nurse to CEO Podcast. She brings over two decades of healthcare experience to everything she does — and she has spent that time not just caring for patients, but paying attention to what God was building in her through every single shift.
She mentors nurses who feel that tension — the one so many of you know — between serving faithfully at the bedside and sensing God calling them to more.
In today's episode, Leniesha is unpacking something that I think is going to genuinely shift how you see yourself. Because here is the truth she is going to walk you through: you have been trained in far more than patient care. The skills you use every single day at the bedside; your ability to teach, to lead under pressure, to simplify complex information, to guide people through some of the hardest moments of their lives.... those are not just nursing skills. Those are Kingdom skills. Those are coaching skills. Those are the skills that build something that lasts beyond a 12-hour shift.
Romans 11:29 says: "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." That means what God placed in you did not expire at the bedside. And today, Leneisha is going to help you start seeing that clearly.
Now — I also want to make sure you know about something special she has coming up. On April 22nd at 11:30 AM Eastern, Leniesha is hosting the RN to CEO Shift Workshop — and it is going exactly where today's conversation is going, only deeper. She is going to walk you through how your nursing skills translate into coaching, mentorship, online business, and Kingdom-centered impact. Real examples. Practical steps. And the clarity you have been looking for about what your "next" could actually look like.

Hi nurse,
Today's guest is Alexander Pujol — former physician assistant, founder of Quantum Human Performance, and one of the most courageously honest voices in the healthcare wellness space. Alex spent years working in high-pressure medical environments, carrying the weight of patient care, professional responsibility, and relentless people-pleasing without ever stopping to ask what it was costing him.
What began as chronic stress quietly progressed into severe burnout. Severe burnout led to prolonged sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation spiraled into paranoia and psychosis. And that downward spiral ultimately culminated in a suicide attempt — a moment that forced a complete reckoning with how disconnected Alex had become from his own body, his emotions, and his sense of self.
But that is not where his story ends.
Through ongoing therapy, nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and the kind of deep inner work that requires more courage than any shift he ever worked, Alex rebuilt his life from the inside out. Today he combines his clinical expertise with his lived experience to help high-performing athletes and leaders sustain success without sacrificing their health or their humanity — using neuroscience-based holistic wellness strategies with a powerful emphasis on emotional regulation and mindset training.
In this episode, Shan and Alex go deep on the realities of healthcare burnout that nobody talks about — and the pathway through that actually works.

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:
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.
