November 18, 2025 202/ The Hidden Stress You Don’t See (But Your Body Feels Every Day)
Hi Sweet Caregiver!

Today, we're talking about decisions. Or more specifically, unmade decisions.
You know that feeling when you walk into your closet and see those three bags of clothes you've been meaning to donate for six months? Or when you open your email and there are 47 unread messages staring back at you? Or when you stand in front of the pantry at 5 PM, absolutely paralyzed about what to make for dinner... again?
That feeling? That's your stress bucket overflowing.
And here's what most of us don't realize: every unmade decision in your life is actively adding stress to your body. Right now. As we speak.
Today, I want to share with you how unmade decisions are literally keeping your nervous system in a state of chronic stress, what the science says about this, what the Bible teaches us through the story of Jonah, and most importantly—how knowing your core values can help you make decisions that actually reduce stress instead of creating more.
So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's talk about how we can start emptying that stress bucket, one decision at a time.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

November 11, 2025 201/ Stressed Out & Leaking?😱 How Stress Wrecks Your Pelvic Floor (and What to Do About It) with Jenn Lormand
Hi Brave Caregiver!

Have you ever noticed that the more stressed you feel, the more your body seems to rebel — tight hips, bladder leaks, or that constant clenching you can’t relax? Today we’re diving into the science behind that with Jenn Lormand from Tighten Your Tinkler. She’s breaking down how stress hormones, fight-or-flight responses, and even low estrogen levels all team up to make pelvic floor problems worse — and, more importantly, what you can do to finally reset your body’s stress response so you can feel strong, calm, and in control again.
Shalom Shalom,

November 07, 2025 200/ Feel Stress & Be Grateful + GIVEAWAY!! [Breathe & Be Still series]
Hey Sweet Caregiver!
We have hit a huge milestone here on the podcast- 200 episodes - only about 2% of podcasts ever reach this point! So I think this confirms the call even more when God told me to do this and it confirms that I don't give up- character is built with grit and grace.

But, I want to celebrate YOU!!! Because if I had zero listeners, believe me it would have been harder to continue! Or even just a few if I'm Honest. But my data tells me there have been over 18.5k listeners- all over the world! So, thank you! I will keep doing this thing and I ask you to keep sharing it.

🎉GIVEAWAY: Listen and share this episode in any way (socials, in person, email)- it's a short and sweet breath prayer- and you are entered. You MUST tell me you listened and shared- I have NO way of knowing this from data on my end. Tell me on instagram, facebook messenger, or email ([email protected]). The winner receives my favorite Airfeet in soles, a handmade journal from me, 2 coaching sessions from me and $50 to my wellness store. The winner will be announced in one week. Friday 11/14. Continue listening and Share! Thank you!!!!
This is a special Breath Prayer as it sums up the purpose and mission of this podcast. To help caregivers, nurses, healthcare professionals to reduce their holistic stress to live a life more on purpose and with peace. In my own recovery from burnout, I found myself meditating on: Phil 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

INHALE: I feel Stress/ Anxiety
EXHALE: I’m thankful for _____

May the peace of God which transcends all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

November 04, 2025 199/ Calm the Stress of Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Hormone Chaos & Cancer [with Laurie Hammer]
Hi Wellness Warrior!
Have you ever felt at war with your own body — like no matter what you eat, how much you sleep, or how hard you try to “do everything right,” your body just isn’t cooperating?
Maybe your hormones feel all over the place — the PMS, the fatigue, the anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere.
Or maybe you’ve struggled with your relationship with food or your body? You have an eating disorder that constantly haunts you.
If that sounds familiar, friend, today’s conversation is going to speak right to your heart....or I should say to your brain.
Before motherhood, Laurie Hammer battled an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression, affecting her health, relationships, and overall well-being. Discovering Amino Acid Therapy changed everything, helping her reclaim her life and igniting a passion for health and wellness.
With a degree in psychology and certification in nutritional therapy, she created the Calm Mom Method—a proven approach to help moms manage anxiety, restore energy, and live with purpose. She also shares her expertise on the podcast, Take Back My Brain.

📣ANNOUNCEMENT: We have hit 200 episodes on Holistic Moms! Of course this warrants a giveaway! This special episode happens to be a breath prayer in the Breathe & Be Still series on Thursday, 11/7. So, you must come back for that episode for the 200th episode giveaway contest!

Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

October 10, 2025 195/ Breathe & Be Still: Peace for Your Holistic Wellness Journey
Hi Wellness Warrior,

This is the date 2 years ago that this podcast began. And on November 7th- just one month, we will celebrate with my 200th episode with a super fun giveaway!

I was thrilled to see today was a breath prayer episode on the calendar. I found that very fitting for a 2 year celebration. In light of that, today's prayer will be my brand verse. This verse is a prayer in itself- Paul is praying this over the early Christians in Thessalonica. And I pray this for you and I.

We can not achieve, strive for, people please enough, be perfect enough, stress enough, or produce enough to have perfect peace. The peace our holistic beings desire only comes from the God who made us. And as we pursue holistic wellness, we can only do that through God who wholly created us. As we do, there will be hardships, trials, challenges that try to steal our wellness, peace and identity. But, if we continually go back to our identity and who God calls us, trust that and His faithfulness- He will make us holy and whole along this healing journey called life. He will do it.

verse:
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." The message says " May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole.."
Get in a comfortable position, can do this anywhere at anytime. 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 audiably... let all the muscles and tension relax

Talk to God in this time, notice what thoughts come in these 3 minutes, what feelings arise, what each word feels like as it comes out of your mouth. Meditate on these words.

3 min :
Inhale: God identifies me.
Exhale: His faithfulness makes me Holy and Whole.

Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

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.
