In this episode of the Phillip Scott Podcast, Phillip breaks down a viral moment where a sister visiting the Dominican Republic unintentionally made the locals feel sorry for Americans. What was meant to be a fun, lighthearted interaction turned into a reflection on how others see our struggles—especially when it comes to the economic, social, and emotional stress we often normalize in the U.S.

Phillip dives into the deeper meaning behind the video:

How travel opens your eyes to how hard we’re really living

Why other nations view American “freedom” as stress-filled chaos

The importance of rest, wellness, and global perspective—especially for FBAs

Sometimes, it takes leaving America to see the weight you’ve been carrying. And this story is a reminder that not all “privilege” feels like peace.
