Welcome back to Beat Nurse Burnout.

In Part 1, we heard Ondrea Lynn’s powerful testimony of trauma, spiritual searching, and finding true freedom in Jesus. Today, we’re continuing the conversation — and we’re going to talk about something deeply relevant to so many nurses:

The connection between burnout, stress, and our bodies.

If you’re a nurse who has: -Gained weight during years of high stress or night shifts -Used food, alcohol, or sugar to cope after hard days -Felt disconnected from your body after pregnancy or trauma -Or wondered why willpower alone never seems to work This episode is for you.

As nurses, we know this intellectually: Chronic stress → cortisol dysregulation → emotional eating → metabolic changes. But knowing the science doesn’t always heal the pattern.

What Ondrea discovered — and what she now teaches — is that lasting physical transformation must begin spiritually. When the nervous system calms, identity is restored, and coping shifts from survival to surrender, the body finally feels safe enough to change.

Ondrea is a speaker and author of the book, ‘The Christian Women’s Weight Loss Victory Plan (How to Defeat the Enemy and Transform Your Body).’ Ondrea has helped thousands of women reach their personal health and wellness goals and improve their physical and nutritional health, as well as their emotional and spiritual well-being. She is a graduate of the Institute of Integrated Nutrition, affiliated with the Teachers College at Columbia University, some of her certifications include, NASM fitness trainer, behavioral change specialist, and self-sabotage coach. Her efforts in health & wellness have been featured in an article and on the cover of Woman’s World Magazine. She appeared as a personal trainer on Lifetime television’s Mission Makeover. Her ‘Christian Women’s Weight Loss’ podcast is currently ranking top 3% globally. Ondrea is passionate about helping Christian women lose weight and gain health so they can rise up in the Kingdom and take action on the assignment God has called them to do.

Shalom Shalom,

Hey friend, Today we're talking about something I know you're feeling — that bone-deep exhaustion that doesn't go away with a day off or even a vacation.

If you're a nurse or caregiver who keeps showing up, keeps performing, keeps pushing through... but inside you're running on empty? This episode is for you.

We're diving into three types of fatigue that are slowly draining your body, overwhelming your mind, and leading you straight toward burnout: Compassion Fatigue, Decision Fatigue, and High-Functioning Fatigue.

And here's what I want you to know upfront: Fatigue is a warning sign. It's your body's check engine light. And today, we're going to talk about what's really happening physiologically, why you can't just push through it, and most importantly — how to recover with faith-based, holistic practices that actually work.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's get real about what's going on in your body. Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan

Hi Sweet friend,

Today’s episode is tender, powerful, and real. If you’re a nurse or healthcare professional who has been:

• Spiritually curious but still searching
• Carrying unhealed trauma beneath a capable exterior
• Exploring “spiritual things” but feeling unsettled or empty
• Or quietly wondering if there’s more to faith than what you’ve experienced

This conversation is for you.

My guest today, Ondrea Lynn, courageously shares her story — one marked by sexual and emotional trauma, deep spiritual hunger, and a long road of searching for healing in all the wrong places. Like so many helpers, she wanted relief. She wanted peace. She wanted freedom from the pain she carried in her body and soul.

But the paths she took — including occult practices and counterfeit spiritual solutions — only left her more bound… until she encountered Jesus. Ondrea is a speaker and author of the book, ‘The Christian Women’s Weight Loss Victory Plan (How to Defeat the Enemy and Transform Your Body).’ Ondrea has helped thousands of women reach their personal health and wellness goals and improve their physical and nutritional health, as well as their emotional and spiritual well-being. She is a graduate of the Institute of Integrated Nutrition, affiliated with the Teachers College at Columbia University, some of her certifications include, NASM fitness trainer, behavioral change specialist, and self-sabotage coach. Her efforts in health & wellness have been featured in an article and on the cover of Woman’s World Magazine. She appeared as a personal trainer on Lifetime television’s Mission Makeover. Her ‘Christian Women’s Weight Loss’ podcast is currently ranking top 3% globally. Ondrea is passionate about helping Christian women lose weight and gain health so they can rise up in the Kingdom and take action on the assignment God has called them to do.

And as nurses, we are often exposed to suffering, death, and spiritual questions daily — yet we rarely have space to talk about our own souls. This episode gently invites you to pause and ask:

What am I actually seeking? And where am I going to find it?

Whether you’re listening for yourself, or because you know someone who needs this testimony, I pray this story meets you exactly where you are.

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan

Hi Nurse friend, What if you made this the year of REST. What if you looked at the new year as an opportunity to come out of survival mode.

Nursing trains us to survive. Push through. Power on. Handle it. Keep going.

And while survival may get you through a shift, it is not meant to be your way of life.

God did not create you to live in constant urgency. He created you for peace.

Survival mode keeps your nervous system on high alert. It tells your body that danger is everywhere. That slowing down isn’t safe. That rest can wait.

Rest is not a reward for finishing everything. Rest is an invitation.

And choosing rest doesn’t mean you stop caring. It means you stop abandoning yourself and actually care for you.

So today’s breath prayer is simple — and powerful. It's based on the verse....

“He makes me lie down in green pastures; He restores my soul.” — Psalm 23:2–3

Let’s take one deep inhale… And a long, slow exhale. Inhale peace… Exhale tension. 3 min : Inhale: I choose rest. Exhale: Not survival.

Press play on this episode and breathe with me.

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan

Hi Nurse friend, This episode is MY EPIPHANY on Epiphany. This podcast is rebranding and today I will tell you why! If you are not a nurse…listen…and stick around! You will see why. Here’s what you can expect from the podcast from here on out:

✨ Conversations with nursing and wellness experts ✨ Real stories of burnout, healing, and restoration ✨ Faith-based, science-backed tools you can actually use ✨ Simple, sustainable solutions to help you recover from burnout—without quitting nursing unless God leads you there ✨ Honest conversations about identity, boundaries, nervous-system care, and what it looks like to live whole inside a demanding career

And if this podcast has helped you—even a little—I want to ask a few things of you:

🤍 Share the show with a nurse who needs it 🤍 Follow me on Instagram and join our Facebook community, where we go deeper together 🤍 And if you’re ready for real change, I’ve officially launched The Bold Blueprint with nurse-specific bonuses—designed for the woman who’s tired of surviving and ready to live aligned

Hey there, beautiful soul. I am so grateful you're here for our final episode of 2025. Can you believe it? Another year is coming to a close, and today we're going to do something really special together.

We're not just going to recap the year—we're going to reflect on it in a way that will actually propel you forward into 2026 with intention, clarity, and renewed energy. Because here's the thing: reflection isn't just about looking back. It's about mining your experiences for gold, for wisdom nuggets, for those insights that help you grow into the woman, the mother, the caregiver, the person you're meant to be. In this episode we work through 4 main questions (plus a BONUS):

• What worked in 2025?
• What didn't work?

• What do I need more of? Less of?

• When did I feel most like myself?

Action Steps to take:

• Title your 2025 with a main title and subtitle

• Complete your Energy Audit (draw line, list energy-givers and energy-drainers)

• Decide what you're taking into 2026

• Make a plan to increase energy producers

• Set goals to eliminate or manage energy drainers

As a gift to you, I am offering to work though any of those action steps together! Book for your complimentary session today!

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan

Hey there, beautiful soul. Today we're talking about something that affects every single one of us, but especially my nurse mamas out there who are grinding through those 12-hour shifts.

We're talking about pain.

Pain is stealing from you. It's stealing your presence. It's stealing your joy. It's stealing your ability to be fully there for your patients, your kids, and your spouse.

And I'm not just talking about the physical toll. I'm talking about the mental and emotional weight that chronic pain adds to an already burnt-out healthcare worker.

Let's dive into this conversation about the hidden cost of pain and what we can actually do about it. 6 simple, practical tips! Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan
