Beat Nurse Burnout | Holistic Wellness, Stress Management, Burnout Recovery, Caregiver Fatigue, Identity
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.

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋Mama is clutter… STUFF… adding to your anxiety and stress?? I know for us...in this house...stuff definitely does! We haven't mastered the art of the simple life yet, but we have a guest on the show today that has! I'm so excited to implement some of her tips and tricks!
Jenna Michael is a North Carolina native who spends most of her time as a stay-at-home mom of four young kids. Jenna's freelance career took off thanks to the popularity of her parenting blog and Instagram account. Her writing covers a range of topics including local family-friendly events, advice for traveling with kids, parenting tips, wellness information, exercise, and essentialism for parents—especially mothers. Jenna and her family exemplify the success of the lifestyle detailed in her upcoming book "Let’s Be Less," having embraced it for the past six years.
An avid reader, Jenna has devoured hundreds of books on parenting, essentialism, minimalism, and conscious living since starting her journey to create "Let’s Be Less." She has done the hard work of sifting through the vast amount of information, so her readers don’t have to. By compiling the most valuable advice, Jenna provides young mothers with reliable guidance on parenting without the need to wade through misinformation. When Jenna isn't chasing after her kids or writing at her computer, you'll likely find her at the gym, enjoying the outdoors, or curled up with a good book.
Jenna is a new bestie, we talk simplicity, living with less, purposeful marriage, and her new book that all new moms need! Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
Mama is tired! You have a lot on your plate, you’re not getting enough sleep, you’re overstimulated and headed towards burn out….mama is TIRED. One reason why I think we aren't "finding" the energy we need is because the tiredness/ exhaustion is coming in different ways. FInd out what way you are being exhausted and find the ways to overcome that and THEN you are on your way to more energy and excitement for life! I have 6 types of tiredness….which are you struggling with? Come share with us in the facebook group: bit.ly/holistichcks
Let's go to battle!

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
***WARNING*** We will say words you may not want your kids (or others) to hear!
We have not had an episode like this one YET. But one thing we do know is that stress and anxiety affects our entire, holistic body. So we are going to address intimacy for the first time. This is your most intimate social wellness and it's necessary to address as a married couple. My guest gives scientific, personal and practical advice. We discussed the 12 intimacy levels…did you know there was 12??! This was very helpful!
A challenger of the status quo and a disruptor of what has always been, Angela Griffith is known as The Christian Sexpert to over 100,000 social media followers. She has dedicated over 20 years to the study of human sexuality and God's design for sex. Her passion is coaching women to discover a healthier relationship with their God-given sexuality.
Angela's relationship with Jesus started at age 19 and while she wasn't raised in purity culture, she did get a heaping helping of it at college after her salvation experience. She has a unique perspective on how purity culture impacts marriages.
She uses social media as a way to change the narrative from inside the house. She sees the damage of purity culture but knows that God tells us He wants us to have abundance in all areas of our lives – including sex. She is a sex and intimacy coach and uses her social media platform to provide the sex education you wish you had received. She has created multiple products designed to improve the sexual and non-sexual intimacies in your marriage.
She will have you reaching for pearls to clutch, make you laugh, make you blush, and make you search your Bible, asking, “Is she serious? It really says THAT?” She and her husband have one child. She is a leader for the international women’s ministry Natural Christian Mommas, a homeschool mom, a lover of all things glitter, and ready to set you on a new path with your husband, telling you to, “Go have good sex!”
Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior! We like to look at our physical wellness a lot and measure that, but how is your social wellness? Do you know how important community is to your holistic wellness goals?? Or are you too busy to make time for your social wellness?? As a female, we are super relational, and we have stress and anxiety and this causes our cortisol to rise and for us to be in a constant state of fight or flight. And this chronic stress leads to chronic inflammation and that leads to disease, injury, illness, weight gain and more!
So what's the way to lower stress and cortisol- another hormone, OXYTOCIN. And how do we get this?? Through connection!! Connection is being in a community that encourages, brings intimacy, accountabiilty, happiness, excitement, joy, peace. Are you in a community like this?? One place I know you can find this is in the 21 day holistic challenge!! Not only will you work on your wellness goals, create consistent habits, learn tools & tips, but you will make new friends that will be instant community!! This community will be the best type; encouraging you to take courage, challenge your comfort zone and pray for you! Join the 21 day holistic challenge today, right now! We start 9/4 and will go for 21 incredible days! Make time for you and Your wellness and what better way then in a community when I hear you coming back with "I don't have time"! They will hold you accountable to showing up for your in this busy season!! Join NOW!!
My guest today has an amazing story of community and a word for you- a life lesson for you about community!! Now this guest is super special because she doesn't usually share on a social platform, but as I asked she felt she couldn't NOT tell of God's goodness. This story is incredible!! I had to split it up because of time, so this is part 1. And the audio isn't great, I tried my best to edit, so sorry about that but it's soooo worth it!
Christy Henry, wife of church planter and pastor, artist, social media influencer, and terminal brain cancer patient Matt Henry, homeschooling bio and adoptive mom of six kids ages 7-14, full time missionary for Jesus in the southern California beach town of Imperial Beach and on the road with the skoolie community.
get ready to be blessed!!
