Hey Mama friend, You know what's stressful most Christmases?? Gift giving!! But does it have to be?? I did an amazing episode with author, Jenna Michael last year- Check out episode #125 if you are feeling that stress. Now the reason it can be stressful is because when we are in high pressure situations- the deadline of Christmas day- we go into autopilot. These are our natural ways to function for our nervous system to protect and keep our bodies safe. BUT- just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's GOOD. I want to talk about the 4 ways anxiety shows up in a very busy season- like Christmas and what to do about it.

So today, I'm going to help you identify YOUR specific autopilot anxiety response, and then I'm going to give you five practical ways to disrupt it and respond better—even in the middle of the Christmas crazy.

In this episode:

• The 4 autopilot anxiety responses: conflict, distance, over/under-functioning, projection

• 5 steps to disrupt your anxiety patterns

• The Know/Do prayer framework

• The Courageous Faith Method

• How to honor your word through the 4-step integrity process

Hey Nurse friend, Take a deep breath. You made it here, and that alone shows how much your soul is craving a moment of peace.

If you are listening as a nurse who is exhausted—emotionally, physically, spiritually—I want you to know this: You are not alone. You’re not failing. And your feelings are valid.

Christmas can feel heavy when you’re the one holding everyone else together. But today, you get to be held.

This breath prayer is your reset. A moment to slow down, reconnect, and remember the truth: Emmanuel—God with us. God with you.

Wherever you are—maybe driving home from a shift, on your couch, or getting ready for work—let your shoulders soften. Unclench your jaw.Feel your breath settle.

Let’s take one deep inhale… And a long, slow exhale.

Again… Inhale peace… Exhale tension.

Your nervous system is safe here. Your body is allowed to rest here. verse:

In Matthew 1:23 it says: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and They will call Him Emmanuel, which means God with us.”

Talk to God in this time- make this your prayer. Notice what thoughts come in these 3 minutes, what feelings arise, what each word feels like as it comes out of your mouth. Meditate on these words. If possible, place one hand on your heart. 3 min : Inhale: Emmanuel Exhale: You are with me Please share this episode with everyone who needs a little more peace this season! 🩵

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan

Hi Sweet Caregiver! Today, we're talking about decisions. Or more specifically, unmade decisions.

You know that feeling when you walk into your closet and see those three bags of clothes you've been meaning to donate for six months? Or when you open your email and there are 47 unread messages staring back at you? Or when you stand in front of the pantry at 5 PM, absolutely paralyzed about what to make for dinner... again?

That feeling? That's your stress bucket overflowing.

And here's what most of us don't realize: every unmade decision in your life is actively adding stress to your body. Right now. As we speak.

Today, I want to share with you how unmade decisions are literally keeping your nervous system in a state of chronic stress, what the science says about this, what the Bible teaches us through the story of Jonah, and most importantly—how knowing your core values can help you make decisions that actually reduce stress instead of creating more.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's talk about how we can start emptying that stress bucket, one decision at a time.

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan

Hi Brave Caregiver! Have you ever noticed that the more stressed you feel, the more your body seems to rebel — tight hips, bladder leaks, or that constant clenching you can’t relax? Today we’re diving into the science behind that with Jenn Lormand from Tighten Your Tinkler. She’s breaking down how stress hormones, fight-or-flight responses, and even low estrogen levels all team up to make pelvic floor problems worse — and, more importantly, what you can do to finally reset your body’s stress response so you can feel strong, calm, and in control again.

Shalom Shalom,

Hey Sweet Caregiver! We have hit a huge milestone here on the podcast- 200 episodes - only about 2% of podcasts ever reach this point! So I think this confirms the call even more when God told me to do this and it confirms that I don't give up- character is built with grit and grace. But, I want to celebrate YOU!!! Because if I had zero listeners, believe me it would have been harder to continue! Or even just a few if I'm Honest. But my data tells me there have been over 18.5k listeners- all over the world! So, thank you! I will keep doing this thing and I ask you to keep sharing it. 🎉GIVEAWAY: Listen and share this episode in any way (socials, in person, email)- it's a short and sweet breath prayer- and you are entered. You MUST tell me you listened and shared- I have NO way of knowing this from data on my end. Tell me on instagram, facebook messenger, or email (hello@theshanwright.com). The winner receives my favorite Airfeet in soles, a handmade journal from me, 2 coaching sessions from me and $50 to my wellness store. The winner will be announced in one week. Friday 11/14. Continue listening and Share! Thank you!!!!

This is a special Breath Prayer as it sums up the purpose and mission of this podcast. To help caregivers, nurses, healthcare professionals to reduce their holistic stress to live a life more on purpose and with peace. In my own recovery from burnout, I found myself meditating on: Phil 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” INHALE: I feel Stress/ Anxiety EXHALE: I’m thankful for _____ May the peace of God which transcends all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan
