September 30, 2025 193/ What Are You Afraid of? That Fear is Keeping You Stuck in the Stress Cycle.
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Do you feel stuck? Stuck in the stress cycle? Stuck in burnout even? (maybe you don't call it burnout, but it is) Remember, a chronic stress load leads us to the land of burnout and there are other cities along the way and others that border burnout that we live in like...exhaustion, anger, anxiety... what IF, what you are afraid of is keeping you stuck there??
I actually hope you do come to that realization today with this episode- because if you do...then that's your way out! I will give examples of moms just like you and how they broke out of burn out and now live in the land of peace and freedom!
So, if you’ve been feeling stuck in any kind of stress—this episode is for you.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

September 23, 2025 192/ Stress Less & Thrive: Simple, Practical, Holistic Wisdom for Caregivers with Linda Reeb
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!

Does life seem to be going so fast and even that the ground might fall from underneath?? Does your foundation feel shaky?

Today’s guest knows about that and knows how to speak to it. She has built a firm foundation in her life and mentors moms and families to do the same!

As the founder of MomsMentoring, Linda has enjoyed teaching and mentoring young mothers at a fascinating season of their lives. Her passion is to see women, applying the Bible’s wisdom to their lives, become all they are meant to be, while building Christian families and thriving marriages. After almost 20 years, the learning is compiled in her book Wise Moms, published September 2024.
Linda also enjoys helping her husband Lloyd facilitate couples’ events with the Halftime Institute, and has co-written a book called Halftime for Couples. She loves learning about and encouraging others around building a second half of life that is fun, intimate and meaningful.
Linda enjoys biking and exploring with her husband Lloyd, keeping up with her 6 young adult children and 4 grandchildren, and you can often find her engaging with friends, working in the garden, or with her nose in a book.
Wise Moms is her guide filled with simple, practical wisdom to do life in this fast paced world with less stress!

I pray this conversation encourages and blesses you!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

September 16, 2025 191/ Manifestation vs. Miracles: The Holistic Truth You Need to Hear
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!
Today we’re diving into a topic that comes up a lot in the holistic world—manifestation.
You’ve probably heard it: “Your thoughts create your reality. Just visualize what you want and call it in.” And while there is truth to the power of our thoughts and words, here’s the danger: when manifestation is used to get what we want or chase our heart’s desires, it often leads us into pride and self-reliance. And pride is the very thing that keeps us from the abundant life Jesus has promised.
So today, we’re talking about the difference between manifestation and miracles.

Would love to hear your feedback (positive or negative) on this episode! Find me on Instagram @theshanwright or email: [email protected]
Shalom Shalom,

September 12, 2025 190/ Breathe & Be Still : Stuck in Fear? Take This Action.
Hey Intentional wellness Warrior,
Fear, worry, fright, nervousness, anxiety, panic, agitation, distress- fear. It's all the same and the enemy of this world wants us to feel it all. When we let it take over we live stuck, comfortable, still, quiet, complacent, scared. The Word of God tells us some will say 365 times, do not be afraid. You may listen to this episode months from now or even years, but this week we saw fear and remembered courage.

You see, the darkness and evil of this world operates in fear. These principalities and demonic forces that we contend with thrive in fear and want to drive people to fear. So when courageous faith takes a stand it is a threat to them. Violence and tragedy ensues. But we do not live for this time on earth, but we live for eternity. So, we do not fear, but we move forward in the face of fear - that's courage. Take courage, friend- because HE is WITH YOU.
So today's verse is:
verse:
Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

3 min :
Inhale: I will take courage
Exhale: for You are with me.

Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

September 02, 2025 188/ The 3 Ways Your Stress is Making You Sick & My Candida Story
Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior,

Today we’re leaning into a topic we know all too well: stress. BUT, we know it SO well, we ignore it, don’t see, deal with it.

Something we know to be true- stress is present, but I don't hear in real conversations people being honest about their stress and health connection. Specifically, the way stress is making nurses, healthcare providers, caregivers—moms like you and me—sick.
This isn’t just about “feeling stressed.” We’re talking about what happens when stress stays in your body. Chronic stress → chronic inflammation → chronic disease. And the scary part? Sometimes we don’t even notice it’s happening, because we’re so used to carrying it all. And then we have a health issue and don't see the stress that's contributing or at the root even.

Let’s unpack how this stress is making us sick and even my own healing story!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

August 26, 2025 187/ How Somatic Healing Sparked a Holistic Breakthrough She Did NOT Expect! with Shay Joyner
Hi Wellness Warrior!

Today, we’re diving into something that doesn’t always get talked about enough—but when you experience it, it can shift everything. I’m talking about somatic work.
You see, so often as moms, nurses, caregivers—we live in our heads. We push through stress, we manage schedules, we deal with emotions by tucking them away and just keeping on. But our bodies… they hold the story. They hold the stress, the trauma, the unspoken emotions.
That’s where somatic work comes in. It’s a way of gently reconnecting to the body, releasing what’s been stored, and creating space for peace and healing. And the benefits are powerful: reduced anxiety, improved sleep, nervous system regulation, and even more clarity in how you show up for your life and your people.
And today’s guest, Shay Joyner, knows this first-hand. She’s a new author and someone who courageously stepped into somatic practices—and through it, she experienced a huge holistic breakthrough.

Shay Joyner is a daughter of the most high king first and foremost. A mother to 4 and a wife to 1. Living within her comfort zone for the majority of her life, the Lord in his sovereignty and goodness, brought her through some rough patches & seasons, revealing to her the real strength she has, through Him and that there is far more that God has in store for her than she could ever think or imagine.

I can’t wait for you to hear her wisdom, her honesty, and her encouragement for you as a mom navigating stress, burnout, and the desire for deeper wholeness.
So let’s jump in!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

August 19, 2025 186/ 📅 Holy Rhythms: A Weekly Routine for the Burnt Out Caregiver
Hey Wellness Warrior,
If you’re a nurse mom, healthcare professional, or caregiver—your schedule probably looks more like a puzzle someone shook up and dumped on the floor than a nice, clean calendar. Long shifts, unpredictable hours, on-call duties, and then coming home to your second shift: parenting, marriage, household responsibilities.
I want to talk today about something that might sound impossible in your world, but I promise—it’s not. And if you lean in and listen, I think you’ll see it might be the thing your mind, body, and spirit are desperate for.
It’s what I call a weekly reset rhythm—a holy rhythm of rest.
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

August 15, 2025 185/ Breathe & Be Still: Finding Peace in the Stress of Shifting Seasons
Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!

Are you going through it? By “it” I mean anything! Are you in a season of change or transition?

With the changes of life, many feelings accompany those changes. Some of these changes can feel very hard and bring complex feelings. These feelings can send our stress buckets pouring over into burnout.

This breath prayer in the Breathe & Be Still Series (once a month podcast series) is for that caregiving mom who is IN it. You are trying to push through and keep it all together in this new season.

Let’s take a BREATH and BE STILL with the One who can give us peace, grace and joy in the hard changes.
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.
