177/ 👩‍⚕️ Nurse Burnout Is Real: How to Lower Stress Even When the Job Won’t Change

Hey Wellness Warrior!
Let’s talk today about something I know hits home for so many of us nurses, healthcare pros, caregivers...
👉 “How do I reduce stress... when healthcare IS stressful?”
Because you might be thinking: “Shan, I don’t need a stress assessment—I KNOW I’m stressed. But I can’t exactly walk away from my shift, from charting, from patient care, or from my calling.”
And you’re right. You can’t change everything about the system or the chaos around you.
But you can begin shifting what’s happening inside you.
So today, I want to gently walk you through three ways you can lower your stress level even when your work won’t change right away.Stay to the end for a very POWERFUL Invitation!! bit.ly/stressassessmentcall

175 / Breathe & Be Still: Relief For Your Stress Load, Caregiver

Welcome to another breath prayer episode, in the Breathe & Be Still series. Let's breathe and be still and know that He is Lord and you are safe, known, loved by Him.
So often in your life, you are the rock. You are other’s rock. They rely on you for strength, support, encouragement, love, help. You love to serve and you are dependable. BUT, you can not carry all of your cares and all the cares of everyone else too! Your patients, clients, friends, children, spouse, family....That's too much of a load to carry. The Lord wants to carry them and He is the only one able.
Verse:Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you;
Get in a comfortable position, can do this anywhere at any time. 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 audibly... let all the muscles and tension relaxSpeak out, on the inhale and exhale for 3 min :Inhale: Lord, I cast my cares on you Exhale: you will sustain me 
Caregiver, if your load is heavy, let’s unload your stress together on a free stress assessment call—a customized, personalized session where we’ll uncover: 💥 Your current stress level 💥 What’s actually causing it💥 And your next best step to get relief….of course, with Holy Spirit as our guide and Counselor.

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. 💛

Also, we talk about cold plunging, including the benefits of contrast therapy and the most important thing we hit on is identity. Who we are affects everything!

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
