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 promi...

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 tha...

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 r...

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 mo...

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 ...

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...

Hey Wellness Warrior! Nursing and health care is flexible. We can choose many different ways to do with that craft, and exercise those giftings. Maybe your story is like mine and you laid down nursing to be a stay at home mom, but still want to be in health and wellness in some way. Maybe you are burnt out on full time nursing and desire to go part time or per diem and use your gifting and calling in another stream of income. But ...

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! Have you ever walked through trauma, helped others through theirs, or found yourself completely drained from the weight of both? In this episode, we’re asking the hard but healing questions—about boundaries, empathy, identity, and what it means to care for yourself when life feels uncertain, your cortisol is high, and you're not just the helper anymore—you’re the one who needs help.

Today, I’m...

Hey Wellness Warrior!

Let’s talk today about something I know hits home for so many of us nurses, healthcare pros, caregivers...

👉 “How do I reduce stress... when healthcare IS stressful?”

Because you might be thinking: “Shan, I don’t need a stress assessment—I KNOW I’m stressed. But I can’t exactly walk away from my shift, from charting, from patient care, or from my calling.”

And you’re right. You can’t change everything about t...

Welcome to another breath prayer episode, in the Breathe & Be Still series. Let's breathe and be still and know that He is Lord and you are safe, known, loved by Him.

So often in your life, you are the rock. You are other’s rock. They rely on you for strength, support, encouragement, love, help. You love to serve and you are dependable. BUT, you can not carry all of your cares and all the cares of everyone else too! Your patien...

Welcome Intentional Wellness Warrior! Today, I want to speak to my nurse and healthcare mama friends—and really any caregiving mom—who’s said something like:

“I don’t think I’m burnt out from work… It’s probably just homeschool burnout.” Or, “No, I love my job. Getting out of the house actually helps!”

If that’s been you, I want to say two things up front:

💛 I hear you 💛 And... can we pause and look at the whole picture? You are...

Hey Intentional Wellness Warrior! I have a returning guest today and I'm so excited about it! Amber Lia is back with her new devotional and to share real practical tips on how we can be untriggered as a mom. Amber was also on episode 60 and is full of wisdom. Whether you are a working nurse as a mom, healthcare professional, or caretaker of any sort- we long for peace and to feel less triggered in life. For me many times, my wor...

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...

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 ...

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 i...
