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. That nudge le...2025-07-2423 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#96- Reclaim Your Energy: Realign Your PurposeHave you ever felt completely drained—even while doing everything “right”? 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 PodcastOwn 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. And if you're honest, sometimes meeting your own needs feels selfish. But it's not. In fact, you have...2025-07-1021 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#94- The Courage to Connect: Saying Yes to Life-Giving FriendshipsDr. Phyllis speaks to the woman who’s craving real connection but feels guarded after being let down, overlooked, or even wounded by past friendships. When trust has been broken, it takes courage to open up again. But staying isolated only deepens the ache.Dr. Phyllis invites listeners to look honestly at their relationships and ask: Who is in my inner circle? Are these friendships rooted in faith, mutual care, and truth? Are they giving life—or slowly draining it?Using her powerful COURAGE framework, she unpacks what to look for in life-giving friendships:C...2025-07-0324 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#93- Own the Moment or Lose the Moment- Making Presence a Daily PriorityPresence doesn’t show up on its own—we have to create it. 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 PodcastOwn 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 PodcastOwn 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. Maybe we’ve even said them to ourselves. But what happens when the words don’t bounce off? 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. Maybe someone at work said something that hit too close. Maybe a family member made a comment that felt like a jab. And instead of confronting it...2025-06-1223 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#90- Becoming Through the Messy Middle: Progress Begins Before PerfectionWhen Dr. Phyllis started this podcast, she didn’t have all the answers or perfect timing. What she had was a tug on her heart—a quiet knowing it was time to begin, even without feeling fully ready.Now, after 90 episodes, one truth stands out: progress begins before perfection.Many believe they must wait until everything is perfect. But showing up in the mess moves you forward. Dr. Phyllis’s journey has been far from polished, yet deeply transformational—and it all began with one faithful yes.If you’re in the messy middle, kn...2025-06-0529 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#89- Episode 89 Unseen, Unspoken, Unwell - Always On, The Pressure to Perform and the Fear to Pause Part 4For so many of us, there's this constant push to perform. 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 PodcastOwn 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. True resilience doesn’t hide the cracks or vulnerabilities. Here are three signs that you might be wearing resilien...2025-05-1627 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#86- Unseen, Unspoken, Unwell- The Real Cost of Constant Motion, Part 1It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is the part we often skip over.The unseen. The unspoken. The quiet unraveling that happens when you stay in motion too long, carry too much, and check in on everyone but yourself. Dr. Phyllis has been on that treadmill. She’s run herself into the ground trying to hold it all together. And she knows firsthand: looking like you have it together doesn’t mean you’re okay.Ignoring what’s going on inside—telling yourself it’s not that bad, convincing yourself you don’t have time to dea...2025-05-0827 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#85-Time Sensitive: An Urgent Call to Reconnect with Your True SelfYou know those emails marked time-sensitive? The ones that make you pause and pay attention? Consider this your version of that—but instead of a deadline or a task, it’s an invitation. An inner nudge from the part of you that’s quietly asking to be seen.Dr. Phyllis knows this feeling all too well. There was a season in her life where she was constantly overcommitted, always doing, always chasing—yet deeply disconnected from herself. You are not just the sum of your roles, your tasks, or your accomplishments. You are a whole, valuable person—worthy of...2025-05-0119 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#84-The Crossroads of YES: Finding Your Authentic Self in a Season of ResurrectionThere are seasons when life feels like it’s asking a bigger question—one that can’t be ignored or brushed aside. 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. There’s a stirring inside that says: something has to cha...2025-04-2419 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#83- How Are You Really Doing? A Small Question with Growth PowerHow Are You Really Doing? 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. There’s pressure to hold it all...2025-04-1719 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#82- From Why to What Now: Getting Unstuck and Stepping Into Your Next Chapter“Why me?” “Why now?” We’ve all had seasons where those questions take over.

And somehow, we convince ourselves that if we could just figure out why, we’d finally feel peace.But here’s what Dr. Phyllis gently reminds us:You don’t have to know why to move forward.You just have to trust that forward is still possible.That shift—from why to what now—changes everything. It’s the difference between staying stuck and starting again. Between spiraling in the past and steppi...2025-04-1017 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#81- The Mirror Is Not the Measure: Self-Criticism to Self-AcceptanceIt’s easy to catch a glimpse of ourselves in the mirror or in a photo and immediately start picking apart every detail. The way our clothes fit, the shape of our body, the expression on our face—we find flaws before we find anything to celebrate. And then, without realizing it, we start believing that the mirror defines us.Dr. Phyllis is here to challenge that mindset. She reminds us that our value is not determined by a reflection. The mirror does not measure our worth, our joy, or our purpose.If you’ve ever f...2025-04-0317 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#80- Authenticity Through Transparency and VulnerabilityDr. Phyllis used to struggle with being transparent, vulnerable, or truly authentic. 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. So many w...2025-03-2729 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#79- Relationships Over RolesFor years, Dr. Phyllis believed her worth was tied to the roles she filled. 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. What truly lasts are the connections we build—with ourselves, with God, and with the people who mean the most. Through emotional and physical transformation, Dr. Phyllis has learned that fulfillment doesn’...2025-03-2011 minOwn Your Yes PodcastOwn Your Yes Podcast#78- The Stress of Trying to Stay AheadYour mind is always racing.

But in reality, you’re just living on edge—trying to control every detail, yet feeling more disconnected than ever.It’s stressful, isn’t it?Your nervous system is on high alert.

We often think of burnout as a response to external pressures—work, family, volunteering—but it’s more than just stress. Compassion fatigue happens when we give and give without refueling, leaving us empty. 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? Ego convinces us that we need to do more, be perfect, and seek validation from others. We say “yes” to everything, thinking that if we...2025-03-0625 minWell and GraceWell and GraceDr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams: Finding JOYIn this powerful episode of Well and Grace, host Regina Bartlett sits down with the inspiring Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams—a woman of deep faith, dedicated service, and transformative ministry.

Your body is present, but your mind is somewhere else.

When saying yes feels like the obvious next move, but deep down, we’re unsure?Not every opportunity is meant for us. Not every request requires an urgent response.

It’s a question worth asking, because the answer can open up a new perspective and vision for life.Resilience doesn’t have to come from enduring everything without pause.

Caregiver, professional, friend, partner, mentor—the list goes on. We juggle roles with grace, but sometimes, in the rush of it all, we forget to take a breath. We move from one responsibility to the next without pausing to exhale, let alone change hats.

We’re so used to the noise of the world- that silence can feel like a void we don’t know how to fill.

Yet, there are moments when we feel stuck, as if we’re spinning in place rather than growing forward.What if we could see shame differently?
