Kristin Fitch's engaging dialogue with Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reams provides a refreshing perspective on the often daunting journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of purpose. In a world where women are often conditioned to juggle multiple roles, Dr. Phyllis shares her own experiences of feeling overwhelmed and the pressures that come with striving for success. As a life coach and physician, she has witnessed firsthand the toll that societal expectations can take on women, leading to feelings of exhaustion and loss of joy. The discussion dives deep into the critical question of what we are filling our lives with and whether those pursuits genuinely serve our well-being.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Phyllis emphasizes the importance of taking intentional pauses to reflect on our lives and our choices. She advocates for women to step back from the chaos and to consider where they are seeking validation—whether from external accomplishments or internal fulfillment. The conversation encourages listeners to cultivate self-awareness and to recognize that it’s okay to say no to commitments that drain their energy. By sharing her own transformative journey, Dr. Phyllis inspires women to embrace their identities beyond their roles as mothers, professionals, or caregivers, and to reconnect with their innate desires and dreams.

In addition to self-exploration, the episode highlights the power of community and the significance of building supportive networks among women. Dr. Phyllis stresses that sharing our struggles within a safe community can lead to healing and growth. The episode concludes with a strong message of hope, encouraging listeners to take the necessary steps toward living a life aligned with their true selves. By addressing the themes of rest, validation, and community, this conversation serves as a vital reminder that every woman has the ability to reclaim her joy and purpose, no matter the stage of life she is in.
