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 there, Wellness Warrior!
One of my favorite and I would say the world's favorite tactics to hard things & emotions is avoiding them. We have many coping mechanisms that aren’t healthy and we use them all in the name of making it through, getting by, survival mode, right??
But what if we are actually avoiding what can help us? I think one of the best biohacks is to FEEL your emotions. Let’s talk about why…
Today I’m going to share 5 reasons why one of the best biohacks is to feel your anxious feelings & emotions…
Lets go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

**** TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF MY 40% OFF BIRTHDAY SALE!!****
BOOK NOW!
Welcome Wellness Warrior!
As we have had many birthdays around here, we naturally reflect on the person right? And for one of my kids, it’s like looking in a mirror at my younger self.
It’s so fun, wild, scary, how kids can be so much like us. As we have worked through my one daughter’s anxiety in particular, it has taught me so much about my own anxiety! As she grows, the anxiety has manifested in different ways.
Today, I want to share 3 manifestations of her and my anxiety. My hope is that if you have the same manifestations you can recognize and learn from them too. I pray that’s the case.
Let's go to battle!
SHALOM,
Shan

Welcome back, Wellness Warrior!
There are many things that contribute to my anxiety, and yours. On this GOOD FRIDAY, I'm going to share my favorite hack to decrease anxiety, because there are many things we can do, but I think this is one of the easiest and it works!!
And it’s something you should do TODAY!!
Something else that's easy and works and helps with my physical anxiety, and I'm not talking just feeling anxious, I'm talking being anxious because of the state of your physical wellness. Like spring break is here and that means warmer weather and summer is so soon and I don't want to wear shorts, I don't want to wear a bathing suit and I'm out of time - soI just feel uncomfortable, discouraged and stuck. Well, sis what if I told you I have a 5 day gut reset that will get you unstuck- it will kickstart your physical transformation by igniting digestion, surging hydration, and increasing metabolism! I lost 7.5 lbs the first time I did it and felt so good!! It's so simple, easy to follow, only 5 days, and I'll coach you the whole way through!! I have a Special deal that runs through April 2nd!! So don't wait! DM me on instagram @theshanwright or email me at hello@theshanwright.com today for the details and coupon!!
Lets go to battle!
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan
