Stuck in something that once felt right—but now just feels heavy.In today’s episode, Dr. Phyllis is talking about the quiet discomfort of staying in a role, relationship, or responsibility that no longer fits. When your “yes” begins to drain you instead of energize you, it may be time to pause and ask: Is this still aligned with what God is doing in me now?Recently on a walk, I was reminded that loyalty without inspiration starts to feel like obligation.

You’re showing up, checking all the boxes, and still feel off. Dr. Phyllis calls this what it is: depletion. But depletion doesn’t always come from doing too much. It often comes from giving too much to the wrong things.We slowly get pulled into other people’s priorities, needs, and timelines—sometimes without even realizing it. Before long, we’re spending our energy on things God never actually asked us to carry. And that’s when the frustration, emptiness, and burnout show up. Depletion is often a sign of...2025-07-1721 minOwn Your Yes Podcast#95- Joy Unlocked: Saying Yes to YouYou’re the hero in everyone else’s story… but somewhere along the way, you became a ghost in your own. In today’s episode, Dr. Phyllis is sharing a message that so many women need but rarely give themselves permission to hear: You are allowed to matter in your own life.When you spend your days caring for everyone else—your family, your team, your friends, your community—it’s easy to forget that you are a person with needs too.

That’s something Dr. Phyllis knows deeply, both personally and professionally. In this episode, she shares why making presence a daily priority is one of the most powerful shifts we can make in our lives.For a long time, Dr. Phyllis was going through the motions. Life felt like a loop—autopilot routines, passive days, and that quiet question many of us ask: When do I actually start enjoying life? She knew she wanted more time with God. More focus on her health. More energy...2025-06-2620 minOwn Your Yes Podcast#92- Presence Begins Where Guilt EndsGuilt can be subtle, but its impact is heavy. It clouds discernment, distorts priorities, and often pushes people into cycles of overdoing. It convinces high-achieving women that more effort means more value. But God never asked for hustle. He asked for trust.Dr. Phyllis reminds us: Presence begins where guilt ends. Letting go of what God didn’t assign makes space for peace, clarity, and joy. True presence isn’t found in performance—it’s found in faithful obedience.Use the GIFT framework to break the cycle and return to what matters:G – Get honest...2025-06-1924 minOwn Your Yes Podcast#91- Unspoken Agreements: When Hurtful Words Become Your Truth“Let it go.” “Shake it off.” “Don’t let what they said get to you.”We’ve all heard these lines.

When they actually stick—and quietly start shaping how we see ourselves?Dr. Phyllis unpacks the unspoken agreements we make with hurtful words. The ones we don’t even realize we’ve internalized.

You can be doing all the things—leading, achieving, producing—and still feel like it’s never enough. Dr. Phyllis knows that tension well. There was a season where she didn’t just do the work… she became the work.The roles, the pressure, the nonstop motion—it all got tangled up in her identity. Slowing down felt dangerous. Like if she paused, everything would fall apart… including her.But what she learned is this: constant motion doesn’t protect your peace. It postpones your healing.

But Dr. Phyllis realized something important—real self-care isn’t something you schedule. It’s something you reclaim.For a long time, self-care felt impossible to fit in. She was running from one thing to the next, barely catching her breath. And when she did squeeze in a moment for herself, it often felt like just another task. The activity might have been labeled “self-care,” but it wasn’t actually reaching her soul.That’s when everything shift...2025-05-2228 minOwn Your Yes Podcast#87- Unseen, Unspoken, Unwell- When Resilience Becomes a Mask, Part 2What if your strength has become your silence?For a long time, Dr. Phyllis felt proud when people called her resilient. The more praise she got, the better she felt about herself. She thought she was stacking value and worth in the eyes of others. Her resilience became her identity, and external validation became her measure of success. But resilience doesn’t mean you ignore your feelings. It’s not about living behind a mask.

She’s run herself into the ground trying to hold it all together.

In these moments, there’s often a crossroads: one path is known, predictable, and familiar. The other carries the weight of uncertainty but also the possibility of something more.Today’s episode explores that very moment—what Dr. Phyllis calls “the crossroads of yes.” It’s the space where old patterns begin to feel too small, where the roles once played out of habit no longer feel true.

It’s a small question. One we often toss into conversation without pausing to hear the answer.But when asked with intention, How are you really doing? becomes a powerful invitation to pause, reflect, and move toward deeper emotional honesty.Dr. Phyllis has spent years making this question part of her regular rhythm—with friends, family, clients, and even herself. Not just as a social nicety, but as a sincere check-in. Because too often, we answer with “I’m fine” when our lives feel anything but.

In her mind, admitting that something hurt or disappointed her felt like exposing weakness. Saying it out loud made it real, and that was scary. So she kept things to herself, believing that staying silent was the strong thing to do.But over time, she realized that holding it all in wasn’t strength—it was keeping her stuck. She couldn’t always communicate what she was feeling, and that led to a cycle of misperceptions. People saw resilience, but underneath it was exhaustion.

She chased perfection, sought external validation, and measured success by what she accomplished. But standing at her retirement party, reflecting on a lifetime of experiences, she shared a truth that had reshaped her journey—relationships matter more than roles.The titles, the responsibilities, the endless striving—it was never about those things.

And autopilot living kicks in when we keep pushing through the exhaustion, ignoring the signs until we hit a wall.But here's the real question: Is burnout driven by stress, or is it ego?
