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…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T14:19:14.991723+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beat-nurse-burnout-holistic-wellness-stress-burnout-recovery-fatigue-identity-healing-6641548"},"episode":{"title":"225/ When Burnout Becomes a Medical Emergency: One PA's Healing Journey to Peace [ with Alex Pujol ]","slug":"225-when-burnout-becomes-a-medical-emergency-one-pa-s-healing-journey-to-peace-with-alex-pujol","published_at":"2026-03-31T04:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beat-nurse-burnout-holistic-wellness-stress-burnout-recovery-fatigue-identity-healing-6641548/225-when-burnout-becomes-a-medical-emergency-one-pa-s-healing-journey-to-peace-with-alex-pujol","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beat-nurse-burnout-holistic-wellness-stress-burnout-recovery-fatigue-identity-healing-6641548","url":"https://thewrightwellnesschat.podbean.com/e/225-from-suicide-attempt-to-breakthrough-one-pas-journey-through-burnout-to-peace-with-alex-pujol/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/b5u227tcpurddkd6/episode225.mp3","summary":"Hi nurse, If you have ever told yourself I am fine while everything inside you was screaming otherwise — this episode is for you. Today's guest is Alexander Pujol — former physician assistant, founder of Quantum Human Performance, and one of the most courageously honest voices in the healthcare wellness space. Alex spent years working in high-pressure medical environments, carrying the weight of patient care, professional responsibility, and relentless people-pleasing without ever stopping to ask what it was costing him. What began as chronic stress quietly progressed into severe burnout. Severe burnout led to prolonged sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation spiraled into paranoia and psychosis. And that downward spiral ultimately culminated in a suicide attempt — a moment that forced a complete reckoning with how disconnected Alex had become from his own body, his emotions, and his sense of self. But that is not where his story ends. Through ongoing therapy, nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and the kind of deep inner work that requires more courage than any shift he ever worked, Alex rebuilt his life from the inside out. Today he combines his clinical expertise with his lived experience to help high-performing athletes and leaders sustain success without sacrificing their health or their humanity — using neuroscience-based holistic wellness strategies with a powerful emphasis on emotional regulation and mindset training. In this episode, Shan and Alex go deep on the realities of healthcare burnout that nobody talks about — and the pathway through that actually works.
