S5 Ep3: Nurse Burnout Recovery: 2 Secrets to Sustainable Self-Care: It’s Simpler Than You Think
Episode 3
Tuesday, 21 October, 2025
Tired, overworked, and running on caffeine and fumes? You’re not alone, Nurse Friend. 💉 After a 12-hour shift, “self-care” can feel like another thing on your to-do list. The truth? Sustainable self-care for nurses isn’t about expensive spa days or long bubble baths—it’s about simple, soul-filling habits that actually stick. In this episode of The You Glow Nurse Podcast, host Fallon Collins, BSN, RN, CHWC shares her real-life story of burnout, faith, and healing—and reveals how less is more when it comes to nurse wellness. 💡 You’ll Learn: Why most nurses struggle with self-care (and what’s really keeping you exhausted) How to stop confusing “comfort” with “care” (goodbye doom scrolling + drive-thru comfort dinners 🍟) Christ-centered self-care strategies you can practice anywhere—even on your break How to reset your body, mind, and spirit after a tough shift without feeling guilty The secret to making self-care simple, sustainable, and truly restorative 💬 Fallon’s Take: “Before I came to God and practiced self-care His way, I was coping the best way I knew how—drinking, distractions, and toxic relationships. Once I redefined what wellness meant and invited God into it, everything changed.” 🌿 Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s stewardship. It’s how we refuel so we can keep being the compassionate, purpose-driven nurses God called us to be. ✨ Simple Self-Care Ideas for Busy Nurses Take 5 minutes to breathe and pray after a hard shift Journal what went right (and where you saw God’s grace) Take your “walk and talk” with Jesus instead of your phone Eat a meal that fuels your body and your mood Give yourself the same grace you give your patients 🙌 Challenge of the Week Do a quick “brain dump” + prayer journal after your next shift. Be kind to yourself. Ask: What would I tell my patient if they were this tired and hard on themselves? Then offer that same grace—to you. 💜 🕊 Scripture of the Episode “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 📞 Call to Action If this episode spoke to your heart and you’re ready for 1:1 coaching support to recover from burnout and restore your joy, click the link in the show notes to connect with Fallon! 💬 You can also email or message her directly—she loves hearing from fellow nurses on their wellness journeys. ✨ Stay tuned—something new and exciting is coming soon to help you reset and glow!
