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 👋
Have you listened to episode 87 yet?? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/holistic-moms-christian-mom-intentional-living-anxiety/id1710946348?i=1000662715871
Christy and I open the important conversation of Holistic wellness and New Age Spirituality. And today I'm going to continue this conversation in regards to words. 
Because as you know, WORDS are huge...life or death to be exact. But,  as we talked about with manifesting, it rides on our words. SO, I want to answer a question you probably have asked before- what's the difference between self-affirmations (something you probably hear a lot about) and belief cards (something I talk a lot about) and who cares?? Why does it matter?? Do these things really work? 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
 
I have a special guest interview today with someone that I have a lot in common with, so I know you will love this conversation. 
Kelsey, born and raised in Illinois, married her high school sweetheart, Cody, a physical therapist and her partner in crime. Together they have 3 beautiful kids and a dream to make the world a better place through helping families be healthy and whole. Hundreds of women have reclaimed their bodies and minds with Kelsey through Fit Moms. Through her transformative approach, she goes beyond the surface level of weight loss coaching, delving deep into the emotional and spiritual factors that contribute to the battle with excess weight.
As you can read, we have similar approaches in focusing on emotional and spiritual strongholds and getting to the root for the result. 
We talk about losing weight for the last time, teaching our kids about healthy eating and the mindset about food. 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
 
I was going to be that mom that never yelled... you too??
 YUP, Ii get it. But then I had kids! And I had a two year old that pushed my buttons. She was very dramatic and emotional...you know being a two year old ...and that resulted in my yelling, complete mom rage, and then mom guilt. I would bury myself in my tears and my shame. I knew I had to find a new way....
If you are sick of mom rage and mom guilt taking over or even coming up out of the blue sometimes...then this episode is for you!!
 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom,

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
 
As a HOLISTIC mom and someone who may research, seek our information on “holistic health and wellness”  you will find a lot of information out there that sounds okay…but realize quickly it’s rooted in New Age Spirituality and there is no Jesus. 
 
So, as I started this podcast I knew I wanted to have some episodes speaking to this and the differences between Holistic health the world’s way vs. God’s Way. Then I was listening to a former guest on the podcast on her own show and heard her faith testimony. I thought it would be great to have Christy Romano  -someone who has been in New Age- to share her testimony and how she found herself to God’s way of holistic health. Being that we talk a lot about prayer on this podcast (as it is being intentional in your spiritual wellness), we will have this first conversation about manifestation vs. prayer. 
What are the definitions, the differences and what’s the big deal. 
 
I pray this blesses you and encourages you on your prayer journey with God. 
 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
We want to be consistent, because we know it is key! And we want to lower our stress and have more peace in our lives, right??
So we get going on our goals and feel good for....1 day....maybe 2. 
WHY can't we keep going?? WHY does this keep happening??
 I'm going to share the key missing piece you need to STAY consistent! 
 
Let's go to battle!

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
I know you are like me and struggle with fears… anxiety… stressors in your mind and ONE BIG one is the fear of failure! SO we strive.....we strive to do well, be well, live well....and often times we are still left with this feeling of failing and that after all the striving and STRESS and even panic attacks....the feeling and thought remains: "I'm NOT GOOD ENOUGH" 
Well, God gave me this message for you, and for ME. I was in my Bible reading time with those feelings in the back of my head and this passage popped out like a Rhema. It was 4 steps laid out like a playbook. 
I pray this blesses and encourages you like it did me.... 
 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
 
I have another guest here today, and I’m so excited to share with you this lovely human! 😀
 
Sarah is a follower of Jesus, wife, and boy mama. She is passionate about equipping women to become confident in Christ and teaching them practical tips to become confident speakers, whether at work, in school, on a stage, or in front of a group of peers.
Her goal is to help women gain confidence through practical speaking tips so they can kick fear, social anxiety, and imposter syndrome to the curb to boldly do and say whatever God has lead them to.
When she isn't working or hanging out with family, she enjoys playing music and writing poetry.
 
In this conversation we talk a lot about how In myself struggle with social anxiety and how she also struggles with PPanxiety. We have so much in common, including our love for Jesus and talking about HIM. 
 
So, if you too want to confidently share about Christ more, then tune in!! 
 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan
