Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! I thought about this word and action we do often in nursing…priming. We prime tubing with saline to prepare it for the solution we intend to get to the patient. You are making something ready for use by priming it. Let's relate this to our minds. Yes, we have stressful jobs in healthcare, but are we unintentionally priming your mind for stress and anxiety? Are we setting ourselves up to fail or succeed? Most of the time I think we un- intentionally- prime our minds for stress. And there are 2 main times we are doing this. Oops! Let's look into how we are priming our minds. While you are here….You are invited to a free, virtual, experiential Workshop! The Find More Time Workshop will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy without adding more to your to-do list.

Nurse, Healthcare professional, Caregiver, Mom.... You are invited to a free, virtual, experiential Workshop! The Find More Time Workshop will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy without adding more to your to-do list.

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!  Today we are talking to one of my key players in my holistic healing journey. She is one of my best friends and she is the one who taught me and most importantly held me accountable to rewiring my brain.  In this episode we talk about things that will make your life less stressful as a busy nurse, caregiver, health care professional that work so well for her as a mom to 4. Also, we talk about cold plunging, including the benefits of contrast therapy and the most important thing we hit on is identity. Who we are affects everything! And did you know your identity is NOT a nurse, a mom, or your profession!? Find out what it is, inside this episode. Zanna Foley is a real life friend, mom to 4, wife and Kingdom sister. She is a connector, encourager, and coach of holistic living and particularly through health, nutrition and wellness therapies. She helps others “live life Foley” with purpose, vitality and freedom. I know you will love this conversation. While you are here….You are invited to a free, virtual, experiential Workshop! The Find More Time Workshop will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy without adding more to your to-do list.

Hey Nurse Mom, Caregiver friend,  You care for everyone so well, but do not have the time, energy or belief left to care for yourself. I believe if we truly found ourselves worthy of the crown, found our worth as a daughter of the King and lived in that truth, we wouldn't find ourselves in Stressedout-ville or Burnout Bay. I think it all comes back to worth. self-worth. Do you know he created YOU as a masterpiece! And he planned all the good, amazing things you would do in this life- abundant life. And do you know he died for YOU? So that He could spend eternity with you in a perfect place with no sin or brokenness. God says you are worthy! Will you believe Him? Let's deep breathe, pray and meditate on the scripture and may it transform our hearts and minds. The verse for our breath prayer is: 10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. Ephesians 2:10 AMP 3 min : Inhale: I am Your masterpiece, Lord Exhale: Created for the good works You already prepared   Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT…… Are you in burnout or just stressed??  Take the Free QUIZ  

Hey Wellness Warrior!  i didn't know I was in burnout for years!! This means I had many different transitions in and out of my life and still didnt know. I thought this is life, and I am managing it the best I can.  And we hear that advice or encouragement often - “you are doing the best you can.” And not to shame that advice at all, but is that really it? If we are just managing the best we can with the resources at our disposal is that the best we can live life??  There were signs in my life, but I was missing them....I didn't want to see them. But friend, if we don't see it, we can't remove it, we can't heal from it. Today, I'm walking you through 5 subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that you may be heading straight for burnout—even if you love your job, your family, and Jesus…and  you are doing the best you can.  If you can relate to one or more of those signs, I want you to know: You are not weak. You are not broken. You are not alone. You are simply carrying too much for too long, and your soul is sending signals it needs support. So here's what I want you to do next:

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!  You care for everyone else. You know a lot about health and wellness and medicine. But, do you care for your own wellness? I was so bombarded with medicine, that it was very normal for me to pop 800 mg of ibuprofen for a headache, but not address my eating or sleeping habits. It was very normal for me to deal with gut issues for - my whole life really- and take my IBS diagnosis as B.S. and continue symptom management. Until I looked at my own holistic wellness as something to care for- to steward well- I cared for others WAY better than myself- and this took a toll. Can you relate? Well, today we are going to have a conversation with holistic health practitioner, Savannah Scagliotti. Savannah is a Christian based holistic health practitioner, herbalist and alignment specialist. Helping families near and far understand God's true plan for HOLY-istic living in His creation. It's a great conversation where she stresses the importance of discernment for our own health, and getting that discernment from the Holy Spirit. She walks us through her 4 steps process in discerning health decisions and how to know the right decisions to make. If you are wanting to know how Find MORE TIME, ENERGY or JOY in this purposeful…yet very STRESSFUL career and life….then I invite you to my free experiential Find More Time workshop! If you're a nurse, healthcare provider, or caregiving mom running on empty—this is for you. The Find More Time Workshop will help you reclaim your time, energy, and joy without adding more to your to-do list.

Hi Intentional Wellness Warrior!  Ch cha changes.... I actually don't like when things change, but I've learned to appreciate the growth. If I'm abiding with Jesus, then when things change (not all) it's for my growth of more fruit. I have been in quite the pruning season and one thing that's been affected is this podcast. For one, I dropped to one episode a week. For two, I'm going to talk more to the person I was...which is a burnt out nurse. SO as they say in the business world, I'm niching down, you will hear me talk more directly to the nurse, healthcare provider. I'll share more on the behind the scenes of this decision in my weekly newsletter! (so if not there, get on that) https://www.theshanwright.com/insider BUT what is still true..... my mission/ heart to help burnt out moms heal from burnout and live boldly in Christ. You can be a nurse, CNA, physical therapist, hygienist, dietician....or teacher...or any kind of working caregiver- mom! I'm talking to the Helpers!!  You know your heart is so big that it's your career and mission to help others- you may get paid for it- or maybe you don't and it's a volunteer position OR you are constantly helping all those friends and family members- you are a true Martha- but don't realize you aren't helping yourself! And even more wild that I made this announcement today which starts Nurses Appreciation Week. Happy Nurses Week! This episode is dedicated to that, but also a little spin. Today we are going to talk about you appreciating YOU- something only YOU can do! Let's go!  Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT…… Hey mama—feeling burnt out and always behind? You're not alone.

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior!  In light of Good Friday being today and Easter Sunday, I bring you this breath prayer. Jesus conquered all sin and death on the cross for you and for me and for the world. AND THEN he rose 3 days later . His resurrection from the dead , victory over all gives us life. He is Risen and alive and that means as we receive this gift- alive in us! As we live life, we get wrapped up in the stress of it all- even burnt out on stress - we have to remember Jesus is alive in us and gives all peace, joy, hope, love, strength, LIFE. He lives in us SO we can live. Sit with this truth. Breathe it in and speak it out and as you do listen to what God is speaking back to you about Jesus Christ being alive and living in you. Verse: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” – Galatians 2:20 inhale: Christ is alive… Exhale: and lives in me. Breathe in LIFE. Happy Resurrection Sunday! Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……

Hey Wellness Warrior Mama!  Welcome to another breath prayer episode, in the Breathe and be still series. Let's breathe and be still and know that He is Lord and you are safe, known, loved by Him. In light of the Bold Blueprint launching into the world and this message God has given me to help his daughters live with less stress, overwhelm, busyness and more peace, energy, purpose and intentionality— I share this breath prayer today. Because it takes courage to step forward out of the cycle of burn out, busyness or stress. It takes courage to step out of the status quo and declare you will live from peace and purpose and not fall to motherhood the world's way. It is a challenge that you can overcome! verse: 'the Lord said to my Lord, " sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool."

Closing your eyes is a good way to focus, unless driving.  INHALE.... deep breath.....expand chest and lungs... each one taking deeper...speak words out audibly EXHALE...breathe out audibly... let all the muscles and tension relax…speak words out audibly 3 min : inhale: Every challenge I face exhale: is already under God's feet  If you desire for less stress in your life and more time on things that matter- like spiritual wellness, then the Bold Blueprint is for you!!

Hey Wellness Warrior Mama!  Today, we're going to have a real, heart-to-heart conversation—one that might step on your toes a little bit, but I promise it's coming from a place of love. Because I was once you. If you would say you are a high achiever, busy mama, then listen up... Today I'm talking directly to this person who says... "I'm a high achiever. I like to stay busy. I don't really feel stressed out. What do you have to say to me?" You see this was me! I am such a high achiever and manage a full large plate very well....but that's not what it's all about... There is an Illusion of Busyness vs. True Productivity....

Welcome Warrior Mama!

Welcome Warrior Mama!

Welcome mama,  to another breath prayer episode in the series Breathe & Be Still. You can find the first and an intro on episode 121 and others on episodes 127 and 136. Take these 3 minutes in real time- Do not speed up. Let's breathe and be still and know that He is Lord and you are safe, known, loved by Him. This is one of my personal favorite breath prayers: -' The Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing." Ps. 23:1 Get in a comfortable position, you can do this anywhere at any time. Closing eyes is a good way to focus, unless driving. INHALE & ExHALE along with me. One of our biggest stressors is TIME. I Invite you to the Find More Time Workshop

Welcome mama friend! Today is a HUGE episode for this podcast! We have our first male guest on the show!! ( I always thought it would be my husband, but that's still to come!) As we are STILL in January and the start of 2025, I wanted to have an episode dedicated to vision. As busy, working moms (hint: we all are), having a vision and a plan will decrease the stress and overwhelm of the year ahead. Chris Burns is a serial entrepreneur, author, adjunct professor, podcaster, digital marketing coach and consultant working in marketing for over 20 years! He is also a dedicated father to 3 and knows what it's like to balance home life with other passions and pursuits. We discuss goals, vision and how to actually find the time to read! I pray this conversation blesses you! And as you plan for the year, mark down the Find More Time Workshop

Welcome mama friend! Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the things on your to-do list? Do you ever find yourself trying to do it all, only to feel stressed, exhausted, and still wondering if you've done enough? Today, we're talking about how to stop doing everything and start focusing on doing the right thing. Let's stop wearing “Busy” as a badge of honor and start living in peace and joy! First step in that is to register for the Find More Time Workshop

Welcome mama friend! Today, we're diving deep into a powerful verse: 'Take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.' That's 2 Corinthians 10:5, and it's often quoted when we talk about taking control of negative, intrusive, or unhelpful thoughts. But today, I want to explore another angle—what about the good thoughts? The God-ideas?

Welcome Mama friend, Today, we're diving into a topic that affects every one of us: the thoughts we let into our minds and how they shape our lives. We know that our own thoughts are powerful—what we think becomes what we say, do, and ultimately who we are. But what about the thoughts others plant in us? The voices we hear, the media we consume, and the people we surround ourselves with? These things matter more than we realize. So, let's talk about how to set boundaries, protect our minds, and fill our hearts with truth and encouragement. To help you get started, I've created a free resource just for you: Peaceful Pages, a scripture meditation coloring book. It's a perfect way to slow down, meditate on God's Word, and refocus your heart. You can download it for free for a limited time!! Click link ^

Welcome Wellness Warrior! One form of prayer we discussed in the Jesus is the main gift challenge is listening prayer. For one of the Prayer Dares I created a one page coloring sheet with Psalm 23:1 with shepherds, sheep and stars to color.  The point was to meditate on the scripture and engage in listening prayer while coloring. I loved this and so did the challenge participants!! SO today I want to help you see why you should sit down and grab that crayon WITH your kids AND while alone in some quiet time. I'll share about the incredible stress-relieving benefits of coloring and how meditating on scripture can provide lasting peace for your heart and mind. Plus, I'm gifting you a whole 12 page Scripture Meditation Coloring Book!! Download and Print for free HERE!!

Welcome Back Wellness Warrior! I had another great Epiphany this year and God revealed my word of the year for 2025. To hear my other words of the years go back to episode 135 on Epiphany. My word this year is COMMUNICATION. It's nothing fancy and I may have resisted it to be honest, but it's all encompassing. You see, Prayer is communication with God, relationships are built on communicating, healthy marriages thrive on speaking love languages, children learn through gentle expression, business conversions happen through conversations, podcasting is a form of communication, speaking is a calling I'm obeying this year, and to build strong connections kind communication is required. SO as this is my focus this year, I want to help you to see how communication can be a powerful tool to calm your heart and mind. We'll talk about three types of communication in the episode for less stress on your holistic life. 

Welcome, Wellness Warrior, to the third breath prayer episode in the series Breathe and Be Still. You can find the first and an introduction to the series on episode 121 and another on episode 127. It's a New year and the day I'm recording this : Epiphany. Let's set our heart, mind and body on the truth that God has big, abundant plans for you for a future of hope and peace. Our Breath prayer is based on the verse: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,' says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” For 3 minutes we will… INHALE: The Lord has good plans for me EXHALE: Peace and Well-being are mine. Sister, if this breath prayer and verse is one that resonates with you, then I invite you into the find more time workshop. This workshop will reveal and pull up more of the rooted lies you believe on your plans and time and then plant fresh blooms of hope and peace. It will be a 2 day workshop of taking intentional action together in believing this. FREE Workshop will be 2/4/25 and 2/5/25 ( 1 hour each day) . See you there!!  Let's go to battle!  Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……

Welcome Back, Wellness Warrior! Happy New Year…..AND Merry Christmas…..We are actually still in the 12 days of Christmas!  There are many times to tell time, and the church has a calendar it uses and breaks the year into seasons. It all starts with Advent, then Christmas which lasts 12 days, and ends on Epiphany, January 6th. The word Epiphany comes from the greek noun- “epiphaneia” which means “shining forth.” Jesus came into the world on Christmas day and Epiphany is recognizing the light He brought to a dark world. And taking the day to reflect on the ways His light is in you and how you can spread that light in the world. Listen in to hear more of why and how and then…. So will you join me for Epiphany? I invite you to an Epiphany prayer on Monday, January 6th at 8 am EST in the facebook community:  bit.ly/courageousvillage  Let's go to battle!  Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……

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.
