#88- Unseen, Unspoken, Unwell - The Self-Care Myth Part 3 28:35

7h ago28:35

28:35

You’ve heard it all when it comes to self-care: grab a coffee, get a massage, sip some tea. 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 d…

6d ago27:56

27:56

What 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 resili…

14d ago27:56

27:56

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is the part we often skip over. The unseen. The unspoken.

21d ago19:05

19:05

You 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.

19:26

There are seasons when life feels like it’s asking a bigger question—one that can’t be ignored or brushed aside.

Today’s episode explores that very moment—what Dr. Phylli…

#83- How Are You Really Doing? A Small Question with Growth Power 19:22

1M ago19:22

Dr. Phyllis has spent years making this question part of her regular rhythm—with …

#82- From Why to What Now: Getting Unstuck and Stepping Into Your Next Chapter 17:09

1M ago17:09

17:09

“Why me?” “Why now?” We’ve all had seasons where those questions take over. The conversations play on repeat. The decisions get rehashed. 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 …

#81- The Mirror Is Not the Measure: Self-Criticism to Self-Acceptance 17:33

2M ago17:33

17:33

It’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 c…

#80- Authenticity Through Transparency and Vulnerability 29:59

2M ago29:59

29:59

Dr. 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 tha…

#79- Relationships Over Roles 11:02

2M ago11:02

11:02

For 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.

#78- The Stress of Trying to Stay Ahead 25:53

2M ago25:53

25:53

Your mind is always racing. You’re constantly in fix-it mode, solving problems before they happen. Always preparing, always anticipating. You tell yourself that if you stay ahead, you can avoid the crisis. 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? Yo…

#77- Is Burnout Due to Stress or Ego? 25:18

3M ago25:18

25:18

Is burnout due to stress or ego? 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 w…

3M ago20:01

20:01

Somebody is going to lose the game. That’s just how it works. One team walks away with the win, the other with a loss. And just like in football, life presents us with choices—plays we think will move us forward, decisions that look good on paper. But what happens when both options seem right? When saying yes feels like the obvious next move, but d…

6M ago25:57

25:57

As resilient women, we wear a lot of hats. Caregiver, professional, friend, partner, mentor—the list goes on.
