Hi Nurse friend, In this powerful episode, I’m joined by hospital chaplain and spiritual director Christine Vaughn Davies to talk about the hidden grief nurses carry every day.
We explore how grief in nurses often goes unrecognized — from patient loss and moral distress to cumulative grief and compassion fatigue. Over time, this unprocessed grief compounds, contributing to nurse burnout, emotional exhaustion, and spiritual depletion.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- The different types of grief healthcare workers experience
- How cumulative loss impacts your nervous system and emotional health
- The connection between grief, burnout, and compassion fatigue
- What “soul care” really means for nurses
- How to do a simple Soul Care Audit
- Practical ways to care for your grief as the caregiver
If you’re a nurse feeling overwhelmed, emotionally numb, or carrying the weight of your shifts home, this episode will help you name what you’re experiencing — and begin healing.
Because tending to your grief isn’t weakness. It’s essential soul care for sustainable nursing. 🤍
Shalom Shalom,
Xx, Shan

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
