#96- Reclaim Your Energy: Realign Your Purpose

Own Your Yes Podcast

Have 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 misalignment.

In this episode, Dr. Phyllis offers a simple but powerful way to pause and reflect—a four-step process to help you realign your energy and return to what you’ve truly been called to steward.

Step 1: Recognize what’s pulling at you.

Step 2: Name what you’ve been handing over.

Step 3: Reset the boundaries.

Step 4: Refocus on what you’re called to steward.

Dr. Phyllis reminds us that when God isn’t our GPS, we start handing our keys to the wrong drivers. And that’s when we lose direction. So ask Him again. Invite discernment back in. Reclaim your energy by keeping your yes aligned with your assignment.

You weren’t made to run on empty. You were made to move forward—rooted in peace, fueled by purpose, and clear on what’s yours to carry.

Quotes from Today’s Episode:

“When you consistently give your energy to what God never assigns to you, you will feel overextended and under fulfilled."
