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.

Welcome Wellness Warrior! As we learned in episode 130, so many struggle with loneliness this time of year. It's a complex feeling that can stem from many origins. And I think it's the ploy of the enemy, that he brings on full force at the Christmas season because we are literally celebrating GOD WITH US. We are never to feel alone again because Jesus came so we could be connected to him for eternity. BUT our human flesh is made to be connected to other humans. And when just one of those disconnections happens (again in a variety of ways) we can feel lonely. So again, with Christmas nearing or maybe you are listening after Christmas, let's sit with this name of Jesus, identity of Him as Emmanuel.
In this episode, I want to provide journal prompts to fully embrace his birthday.
As we received this gift of Jesus being with us in the prayer challenge- by the way, this available- go to the facebook group bit.ly/courageousvillage and go to Guide 5- I created a daily journaling dare that was a meditation coloring page. Well, I loved that practice so much that I created a whole meditation coloring book for you! Filled with Scripture to meditate on to combat feelings of being stressed out, overwhelmed, lonely, anxious. YOu can grab that for FREE at : https://www.theshanwright.com/coloringI welcome you into a community of prayer.

Welcome Wellness Warrior! I literally laid down in bed the other night this week, and said I feel like I have been running at 100 mph all day. It's this season of busy, hustle and bustle , BUT love is slow.....Jesus walked and this season is about peace and calm, BUT why do we feel the opposite?!! How can we find calm? I had a recent coaching client ( anonymous ) where we talked about this exactly- this feeling of urgency. We walked through my Courageous Faith Model and I want to share it because I know you are feeling BUSY, STRESSED, like you are going at 100 MPH!!And you too can coach with me! Let's chat on a free 15 min stress relief call and figure out how: bit.ly/chatwithshan.

Hey, Holistic Wellness Warrior 👋For many years I dreaded the Christmas countdown......because not only are we running around overly stressed already, but the holidays add a super large helping to it. The STRESS of Christmas is unique. Did you know 90% of illnesses are stress related? No wonder sickness is the gift that no one wants and so many get during the holidays. We have stress of finances, relational stress, our time is stressed, etc. We are stressed OUT during the holidays! Especially as moms being chaos coordinators of all of it! A few years ago I was done. I couldn't do Christmas like that anymore. I made some changes, but there is this ONE thing I did that made ALL the difference. Want to know the first MAIN GIFT you need to delete the stress from Christmas?? Do you want the PEACE that encompasses Christmas DURING the season??Then TUNE in to this episode AND then join me…..
