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 Mama, wellness warrior!
I have a very practical episode today on how you can decrease your anxiety and express your emotions in healthy ways.
Emotion is “energy in motion” and it will come out in one way or another. But instead of these anxious emotions releasing as yelling, anger, irritability, exhaustion, avoidance, control and many more ways, let’s discuss 10 ways that allows for a calmer nervous system and better emotional regulation.
Get ready to jot these down and implement!
Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Welcome Back, Wellness Warrior!
On Tuesday, I shared an interview with Lauren Collins from the PMS Made Peaceful show. Lauren and I have so much in common and have similar stories with main commonality of anxiety.
Today, I think it would be a great follow up for you to hear my menstrual cycle testimony. We all have hormones and for those of us that struggle with anxiety, these chemical messengers have been screaming at us since we have gotten our cycles and we aren’t and haven’t been listening ( myself included)!
BUT since realizing ALL these emotions, stress, irritability, overwhelm have been manifestations of anxiety has been so helpful in how to holistically heal. SO to manage my menstrual anxiety, I have taken simple wellness action steps and I want to share them with you.
In this conversation, I share:
how it affected my relationships
how I knew about the body, but my beliefs on the female cycle were lies
how God and my faith played a role in healing
and the successful way I have handled my menstrual anxiety for the past year!
Listen in to my conversation with Lauren on PMS made Peaceful.
Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Welcome Back, Wellness Warrior!
Sharing something today that we ALL can relate to…back to hormone health today. We all have HOREMONES, are we listening to these little messengers though?? They are constantly relaying messages, but are we paying any attention?
Our guest today started paying attention and discovered something. She went on a journey to pursue peace in her hormone health. We are both nurses and love the body and have similar stories.
Unfortunately, we have a lot of mic noises that I couldn't edit out- so sorry for the distracting noises. But gotta listen through it, because it’s so good!
Lauren is a registered nurse, wellness coach, mom, Christ-follower and the host of the podcast PMS Made Peaceful. For years, Lauren struggled to manage debilitating negative and anxious thoughts that would bombard her in the week before getting her period. She would often feel like a failure as a wife and friend, and that she just didn't have the capacity to care for herself well. When she started to work with her body and the natural rhythms God had created her with through holistic wellness and implementing habits daily, things started to shift. She now also helps other Christian women who are wanting more emotional regulation during their premenstrual phase, so they can feel more calm throughout their whole cycle.
Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Welcome back, Wellness Warrior!
I have shared that in my Postpartum Anxiety God gave me 4 simple solutions (listen to the first few episodes of this podcast). I felt it was time to press the rewind button.
You may be wondering HOW did you hear these simple solutions from God?? HOW do I hear God tell me what to do? How do I hear God’s voice?
I think the practice of prayer develops over time as we grow in our relationship with God and discover how he communicates with us. BUT in order to get to hear God’s voice, there is a first step.
So the point of this episode is to help you do the FIRST thing when it comes to prayer….
Let's go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Welcome Back, Wellness Warrior!
I believe you are here because you understand that wellness is not our default. We actually have to be intentional and pursue shalom and wellness. And if we don’t do this toxins, bad habits and negativity creep in.
BUT, so many of us get overwhelmed on where to start. There is so much noise out there, it’s common to get frozen in fear, indecision and procrastination.
Dr. Lorena Harding mentioned this in Episode 64 and shared how she starts and instructs her clients to start: REMOVE ONE TOXIN, ADD ONE HEALTHY HABIT.
This is what we are doing this week over in the facebook group (bit.ly/holistichacks) ! You can follow along each day, join us next time, and/or use this group as your accountability and start on your own timeline. I’ll explain in this episode exactly what that means!!
Lets go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan
