#84-The Crossroads of YES: Finding Your Authentic Self in a Season of Resurrection

There 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 change. This is where a new season can begin—a resurrection season. Dr. Phyllis offers a powerful framework for this shift. The YES framework is a tool to help untangle the obligations that no longer serve and to step fully into identity, essence, and purpose.Y – Yield the false identityE – Embrace your essenceS – Step into purposeWhen you start asking better questions, everything begins to shift.What have you been saying yes to out of obligation?Is that still serving you?Is it still aligned with where you're going?You can’t step fully into your “yes” if you’re still clinging to what was.Let this be the season where you resurrect what matters most.Quotes from Today’s Episode:"You cannot resurrect your authentic self, your identity, while still carrying the past”(00:00) "Choosing Your Resurrection Path"(03:56) Michelle Obama Parallel (09:51) "Resurrect Your Authentic Yes"(12:27) "Yield False Identity, Embrace Essence"(16:03) "Intentional Yes, Not Obligated"Let’s Connect:http://drphyllishayesreams.com/https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams
