188/ The 3 Ways Your Stress is Making You Sick & My Candida Story

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior,
Today we’re leaning into a topic we know all too well: stress. BUT, we know it SO well, we ignore it, don’t see, deal with it. Something we know to be true- stress is present, but I don't hear in real conversations people being honest about their stress and health connection. Specifically, the way stress is making nurses, healthcare providers, caregivers—moms like you and me—sick.
This isn’t just about “feeling stressed.” We’re talking about what happens when stress stays in your body. Chronic stress → chronic inflammation → chronic disease. And the scary part? Sometimes we don’t even notice it’s happening, because we’re so used to carrying it all. And then we have a health issue and don't see the stress that's contributing or at the root even. Let’s unpack how this stress is making us sick and even my own healing story! 
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

187/ How Somatic Healing Sparked a Holistic Breakthrough She Did NOT Expect! with Shay Joyner

Hi Wellness Warrior! Today, we’re diving into something that doesn’t always get talked about enough—but when you experience it, it can shift everything. I’m talking about somatic work.
You see, so often as moms, nurses, caregivers—we live in our heads. We push through stress, we manage schedules, we deal with emotions by tucking them away and just keeping on. But our bodies… they hold the story. They hold the stress, the trauma, the unspoken emotions.
That’s where somatic work comes in. It’s a way of gently reconnecting to the body, releasing what’s been stored, and creating space for peace and healing. And the benefits are powerful: reduced anxiety, improved sleep, nervous system regulation, and even more clarity in how you show up for your life and your people.
And today’s guest, Shay Joyner, knows this first-hand. She’s a new author and someone who courageously stepped into somatic practices—and through it, she experienced a huge holistic breakthrough. Shay Joyner is a daughter of the most high king first and foremost. A mother to 4 and a wife to 1. Living within her comfort zone for the majority of her life, the Lord in his sovereignty and goodness, brought her through some rough patches & seasons, revealing to her the real strength she has, through Him and that there is far more that God has in store for her than she could ever think or imagine.
I can’t wait for you to hear her wisdom, her honesty, and her encouragement for you as a mom navigating stress, burnout, and the desire for deeper wholeness.
So let’s jump in!
Shalom Shalom, 
Xx, Shan

186/ 📅 Holy Rhythms: A Weekly Routine for the Burnt Out Caregiver

Hey Wellness Warrior, 
If you’re a nurse mom, healthcare professional, or caregiver—your schedule probably looks more like a puzzle someone shook up and dumped on the floor than a nice, clean calendar. Long shifts, unpredictable hours, on-call duties, and then coming home to your second shift: parenting, marriage, household responsibilities.
I want to talk today about something that might sound impossible in your world, but I promise—it’s not. And if you lean in and listen, I think you’ll see it might be the thing your mind, body, and spirit are desperate for.
It’s what I call a weekly reset rhythm—a holy rhythm of rest.
Shalom Shalom,

185/ Breathe & Be Still: Finding Peace in the Stress of Shifting Seasons

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior! Are you going through it? By “it” I mean anything! Are you in a season of change or transition? With the changes of life, many feelings accompany those changes. Some of these changes can feel very hard and bring complex feelings. These feelings can send our stress buckets pouring over into burnout. This breath prayer in the Breathe & Be Still Series (once a month podcast series) is for that caregiving mom who is IN it. You are trying to push through and keep it all together in this new season. Let’s take a BREATH and BE STILL with the One who can give us peace, grace and joy in the hard changes.

183/ Your Burnout Misconceptions : What it ACTUALLY Feels Like

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! If you’re a nurse, healthcare provider, or full-time caregiver… I want to ask you something gently today:
Have you ever said, “I’m just tired.” Or maybe: “This is just a busy season.” Or even: “Everyone feels like this—it’s part of the job.”
Then this episode is for you. Because what if that exhaustion… is something more? What if you are believing misconceptions of what burnout is and you don’t realize you are in it? 
Today, we’re breaking down the misconceptions of burnout—what burnout isn’t… and what it actually feels like.
And friend, if you’re not sure where you land, I’ve got a super helpful free quiz that will give you clarity. You can take the quiz after listening at: [www.theshanwright.com/quiz].

182/ From Scrubs to Style: How to Get Dressed Without the Stress- Nikki Hinrichs

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! 
If you’re a nurse, healthcare professional, or caregiving mama, you’re probably used to wearing scrubs or a uniform most days—and let’s be honest, when it’s time to get dressed for anything else, it can feel frustrating, overwhelming, or just plain exhausting.
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Nikki Hinrichs—a homeschool mom of 4 and personal brand stylist—who totally gets the juggle of motherhood, function, and faith. We talk about how what we wear affects how we feel, how to bring confidence back into your closet without stress, and why getting dressed can be a form of self-care and stewardship.
If you’ve ever said, “I don’t even know where to start when it comes to clothes,” this conversation will meet you with grace, practical tips, and maybe even some renewed joy in showing up as the woman God created you to be—outside the scrubs.
Shalom Shalom,

181/ Reclaim Your Time: LIVE Coaching with Stressed Caregiver, Mom to 4

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! As a Nurse or Healthcare pro, we learn in schooling how to keep time, how to prioritize our tasks in time. We know to always start with the ABC's in emergency situations. Even as a caregiver we get into routines that can help us prioritize our time. BUT, what happens in emergency life situations or just on your stressful Tuesday?? You aren't working and you are in charge of prioritized tasks for your own family's life. Your stress bucket is full and starting to spill over. How do you handle the everyday "I have too much to do with too little time?!" Today,I have a LIVEcoaching treat for you from my experiential Find More Time Workshop.  I coached a live guest in using the STOP method.  And once you are through hearing this real life scenario, go check out the oldie but goodie episode on my ABC method for prioritizing time - Episode 52.  I know you will relate to this stressed Caregiver who is a mom to 4 and wears many hats. She wants to live well and make the most of her time. Shalom Shalom,

180/ Breathe & Be Still : Lose Control for True Freedom

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! If you're anything like me, you're used to doing. Solving problems, staying busy, holding it all together—because if you slow down, it feels like everything might fall apart. You may just lose CONTROL. But what if stillness wasn’t weakness? What if stillness was actually strength—because it allows God to step in and fight for you? What if letting go of control was POWERFUL.
This is for the high achiever, the fixer, the perfectionist, the one who’s always hustling to keep it all in control. Verse: Exodus 14:14 " The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."Inhale: God fights for me, Exhale: so I can be still. Press play to join me in deep breathing and being still.

Lean in to part 2 of this conversation with Kari Davis, as we will not only talk about this, but also finish her traumatic testimony and how to overcome grief and trauma as a mom and live holistically well.
