173 / Feeling Easily Triggered? Practical Solutions for Stressed Moms with Amber Lia

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!I have a returning guest today and I'm so excited about it! Amber Lia is back with her new devotional and to share real practical tips on how we can be untriggered as a mom. Amber was also on episode 60 and is full of wisdom. Whether you are a working nurse as a mom, healthcare professional, or caretaker of any sort- we long for peace and to feel less triggered in life. For me many times, my work or things unrelated to my kids was and still is sometimes behind my reactions to them- and that does not feel good. As a burnt out nurse and mom I have struggled with mom rage and guilt. Amber, who co-authored a book with Wendy Speak, Triggers, helped me immensely! And now her new devotional, Untriggered, is what us moms need to start the day in peace! 
A former high school English teacher, Amber Lia is a work-at-home mom of four little boys ages 5 to 15. She and her husband, Guy, own Storehouse Media Group, a faith and family-friendly TV and Film production company in Chattanooga, TN. A certified independent health coach, Amber offers insight for all things health and wellness for anyone looking to live life to the full! When she's not building sand castles with her boys on the beach, or searching for Nerf darts all over her house, you can find Amber writing to encourage families at AmberLia.com. While you are here, do you even know where your stress level is? We tend to help all our people all the time and end up in burnout or heading there without even realizing it. Taking the time to check your stress level like checking your fuel level is so important! We can’t keep going without gas, and we can’t keep going with a stress tank overflowing. 
That’s why I’m offering a free stress assessment call—a short, personalized session where we’ll uncover: 💥 Your current stress level 💥 What’s actually causing it 💥 And your next best step to get relief
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Let’s catch the stress before it leads to burnout. 💛

172 / Nurse Mom, Are You Priming Your Brain For Stress & Anxiety? When & How You Most Likely Are.

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! I thought about this word and action we do often in nursing…priming. We prime tubing with saline to prepare it for the solution we intend to get to the patient. You are making something ready for use by priming it. Let's relate this to our minds. Yes, we have stressful jobs in healthcare, but are we unintentionally priming your mind for stress and anxiety? Are we setting ourselves up to fail or succeed?Most of the time I think we un- intentionally- prime our minds for stress. And there are 2 main times we are doing this. Oops!

170 / Breathe & Be Still: Truth Your Helper's Heart Needs to Hear

Hey Nurse Mom, Caregiver friend, 
You care for everyone so well, but do not have the time, energy or belief left to care for yourself. I believe if we truly found ourselves worthy of the crown, found our worth as a daughter of the King and lived in that truth, we wouldn't find ourselves in Stressedout-ville or Burnout Bay. I think it all comes back to worth. self-worth. Do you know he created YOU as a masterpiece! And he planned all the good, amazing things you would do in this life- abundant life. And do you know he died for YOU? So that He could spend eternity with you in a perfect place with no sin or brokenness. God says you are worthy! Will you believe Him?Let's deep breathe, pray and meditate on the scripture and may it transform our hearts and minds.
The verse for our breath prayer is:
10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. Ephesians 2:10 AMP
3 min : Inhale: I am Your masterpiece, Lord Exhale: Created for the good works You already prepared

169 // 6 Warning Signs You’re Headed Toward Burnout as a Nurse, Mom

Hey Wellness Warrior! 
i didn't know I was in burnout for years!! This means I had many different transitions in and out of my life and still didnt know. I thought this is life, and I am managing it the best I can.  And we hear that advice or encouragement often - “you are doing the best you can.” And not to shame that advice at all, but is that really it? If we are just managing the best we can with the resources at our disposal is that the best we can live life?? 
There were signs in my life, but I was missing them....I didn't want to see them. But friend, if we don't see it, we can't remove it, we can't heal from it.
Today, I’m walking you through 5 subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that you may be heading straight for burnout—even if you love your job, your family, and Jesus…and  you are doing the best you can. 
If you can relate to one or more of those signs, I want you to know: You are not weak. You are not broken. You are not alone. You are simply carrying too much for too long, and your soul is sending signals it needs support.
So here’s what I want you to do next:
🎯Head to 👉 www.theshanwright.com/quiz and take the “Am I in Burnout?” Quiz.
It’s quick, insightful, and will show you where you are on the burnout spectrum—and what to do next.
Whether your result is:
✅ NOT YET – we’ll show you how to stay well
⚠️ ON YOUR WAY – we’ll help you take action before it’s too late
💔 SADLY YES – I’ll help you climb back out step-by-step
Every quiz taker also gets a chance to book a free clarity STRESS ASSESSMENT call with me to talk through your next best step.
So don’t stay in survival mode, sis. Clarity is the beginning of healing.
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior! 
You care for everyone else. You know a lot about health and wellness and medicine. But, do you care for your own wellness? I was so bombarded with medicine, that it was very normal for me to pop 800 mg of ibuprofen for a headache, but not address my eating or sleeping habits. It was very normal for me to deal with gut issues for - my whole life really- and take my IBS diagnosis as B.S. and continue symptom management. Until I looked at my own holistic wellness as something to care for- to steward well- I cared for others WAY better than myself- and this took a toll. Can you relate? Well, today we are going to have a conversation with holistic health practitioner, Savannah Scagliotti. Savannah is a Christian based holistic health practitioner, herbalist and alignment specialist. Helping families near and far understand God’s true plan for HOLY-istic living in His creation.

167 // Balancing Scrubs & Self-Care: Holistic Wellness for Working Moms in Healthcare

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior! 
Ch cha changes.... I actually don't like when things change, but I've learned to appreciate the growth. If I'm abiding with Jesus, then when things change (not all) it's for my growth of more fruit. I have been in quite the pruning season and one thing that's been affected is this podcast. For one, I dropped to one episode a week. For two, I’m going to talk more to the person I was...which is a burnt out nurse. SO as they say in the business world, I'm niching down, you will hear me talk more directly to the nurse, healthcare provider. I'll share more on the behind the scenes of this decision in my weekly newsletter! (so if not there, get on that) https://www.theshanwright.com/insider BUT what is still true..... my mission/ heart to help burnt out moms heal from burnout and live boldly in Christ. You can be a nurse, CNA, physical therapist, hygienist, dietician....or teacher...or any kind of working caregiver- mom! I’m talking to the Helpers!! 
You know your heart is so big that it's your career and mission to help others- you may get paid for it- or maybe you don't and it's a volunteer position OR you are constantly helping all those friends and family members- you are a true Martha- but don't realize you aren't helping yourself! And even more wild that I made this announcement today which starts Nurses Appreciation Week. Happy Nurses Week! This episode is dedicated to that, but also a little spin. Today we are going to talk about you appreciating YOU- something only YOU can do! Let's go! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan
