Beat Nurse Burnout | Holistic Wellness, Stress, Burnout Recovery, Fatigue, Identity, Healing

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 👋I’m Shan and I’m a recovering perfectionist. And I’m here to help and encourage you today! 
Do you know if  perfectionism is contributing to your anxiety? You know you are not perfect. but that doesn’t mean these thoughts of shoulda, coulda, would of been better, did better, aren't breeding worry, anxiety and affecting your everyday. im going to share how it was affecting mine, ways to know you are there too and what to do to live in hope, grace and mercy instead.  If you are sick of striving and trying to get it right. All. the. Time. and sick of procrastination and avoiding stealing your energy, joy and time, then I get it.  I have been there and bought the t-shirt. I have seen how this has contributed to my own anxiety and I found freedom. I would love to help you find that same freedom in my wellness accountability coaching. You can book me at theshanwright.com/coaching. and maybe you aren’t sure that you are a perfectionist or that there is hope to your anxiety…then lean into this episode and find out. If you have questions or are still not sure, you can always email me at hello@theshanwright.com to find out. 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
There is a Trend on social media, where people say what they  are struggling with. I have been wanting to do it for sometime, and today is the day. 
 I have a few podcast episode topics planned out, but before I went into those things, I thought I needed to get real and raw with you all. 
And even in that I sometimes struggle with the thought of I shouldn't do or say this or that because I am a wellness coach AND that no one will want me as a coach if they knew blank!  And this puts me back in that perfectionist mindset of having it all together, all the time, and it's a dark road. So let’s shine the light on my imperfections so you can see I'm just like you. 
And my prayer in sharing all this is that you will trust me MORE to be your wellness accountability coach. You will see that I have a mentor too and business coach and podcast coach and we all need people in our lives to help us to that next step. I have a client that once said, "I was looking for a life coach, actively looking and you came into my life at just the right time! God knew you were the coach for me. " IF YOU are looking and aren't sure if I’m the coach for you or not,  you can always message or email me hello@theshanwright.com. Or head to my website where you can see more details on my coaching: theshanwright.com/coaching 
As you will hear on this episode...I've been there, I'm still there in ways and on days...but it’s that intentional action that I can hold you accountable to doing. YOU know the next steps to take to be well, you just need that coach for encouragement, prayer, execution, accountability. Go now to theshanwright.com and take that next step.
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋
Happy August! Is this the beginning of fall for you? After batching episodes all summer and now having a clean slate I was thinking about topics on school starting and fall, but is that  just us?  We start school in a few days, but I know that's not country wide or worldwide for that matter! So come tell me in the fb group (Holistic Living for Christian Moms) when does your fall begin? It's a big season for many reasons and I want to speak to time-sensitive, relatable topics, so come tell me! 
Instead of guessing, today I have a topic that you can relate to in ANY season. I have a guest on today to talk the basics of homesteading! And even if you aren't interested in that... Do you want to know some simple ways to quiet your soul, hear God's voice and be more intentional with your time?? I know you do! Our guest today will share what she does to do just that. 
Jocelyn Jennings is a 5th generation homestead wife and mom of two with a mission to encourage women to lead healthy, productive, Christ-centered lives for their families through homesteading and learning to be more self-reliant. Jocelyn believes that anyone can start homesteading and do it God’s way to experience less stress and more joy, while leading a more simple, natural life. In her podcast, The Farm Family Table, she offers biblical encouragement, resources for building knowledge in homesteading skills like cooking from scratch, gardening, and food preservation, and practical tips for faith-based family life.
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

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 👋
This is part 2 of the conversation with Leah Blondin! If you haven't yet, listen to PART 1 first! Leah Blondin is a wife & mama to 2, born-again believer, & functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner. Leah helps women optimize their health spiritually & scientifically by understanding specific data points of their bloodwork & functional labs in order to tailor to each woman's bio-individual needs in a sub-clinical way. She loves camping (her & her husband own a campground in the ozarks) & is passionate about helping others level up their lives & health to live the life God has called them to live.
 
In this part of the conversation we hear practically how she is taking courage in her holistic wellness, so you can too! We discuss New Age spirituality, yoga, anxiety, depression, blood work, micronutrients, functional labs and what God says about it all. 
 
Let's go to battle! 
Shalom Shalom,
