Sis, what happens when God calls you to do the very thing you said you'd never do? In this heartfelt conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts and Dr. Anita Phillips get transparent about friendship, obedience, and the cost of saying yes when it changes everything. From unexpected callings to public pressure, they unpack what it means to follow God into unfamiliar territory, redefine identity after loss, and keep showing up when you feel fragile. It's funny, honest, and deeply spiritual—the kind of conversation that reminds you that obedience isn't about being perfect; it's about being dependent. So if you've been wrestling with God's instructions or trying to rebuild after a "yes" that shook your whole world, this one's for you.

When the pressure is on, do you shut down or shine up? In this powerful convo, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits with Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Lewis and Dr. Anita Phillips to talk creativity, the gift of failure, and how to separate your work from your worth. They unpack why dreaming can feel risky right now, how to handle pressure without losing your identity, and what it means to build on what broke. From "turning heat into light" to seeing art as a path toward justice, this episode will meet you where it hurts and remind you there is purpose in your process. If you've been grieving a job loss, navigating a creative dry spell, or questioning your next move, press play and get language, wisdom, and courage for the season you're in.

In “Seeds of Faith,” Dr. Anita Phillips teaches us a powerful truth: our hearts are soil, and both the seeds we receive and the seeds we plant in others matter deeply. When our hearts are ready to receive God's Word, the Word begins to shape how we see and respond to the world around us.  Fear isn't the real enemy of faith—sight is. What we see will always try to challenge what we know! When we obey God, we discover that He wants us to be active participants in creating the abundant life He is calling us to.  God never intended for us to be paralyzed by anxiety or stuck second-guessing His will. He wants us to live fully—bold, confident, and anchored in His Word! Thank you for partnering with Social Dallas!

How To Relieve Anxiety In SecondsDr. Anita Phillips, a trauma therapist, says you can deal with anxiety in just seconds. The first exercise is called the "voo" technique. You take a deep breath in, then breathe out while making the sound "voo" for as long as your exhale lasts. The vibration you feel helps work anxiety out of your body. The second exercise is called tension release. You breathe in calmly, then as you breathe out, you tighten up your whole body. Then you breathe in again and relax everything. Making your body tense on purpose and then letting it go helps your mind feel more relaxed too. Phillips also suggests "shaking it out" while brushing your teeth - start by shaking your bottom, then let the shake move up through your whole body. See me perform these exercises on the IG.Happiest Shift WorkersAmerica's most cheerful hourly employees are selling vapes, weed, and smokes, according to a new report. Over 1.51 million end-of-shift survey responses paint a less-than-ideal picture of the state of the union for wage workers. While the Net Happiness Score — the report's metric for general workplace wellbeing — clocked in fairly high at 71.86%. The happiest industry sector turned out to be e-cigarette and marijuana stores, with 91.87% of employees saying they feel “good” or “amazing” about their jobs. They're closely followed by caterers, baristas, dentists, and those who work in gyms, firearms stores, and sit-down restaurants. Successful Couples Do These 4 Things In The AMCouples should say hello to each other in the morning. That tells your partner "I see you. You're alive. I'm alive. I appreciate you." Second, successful couples make small loving gestures for each other. This might mean making coffee for your partner, putting out their robe, or setting up their breakfast bowl.Third, they spend a few minutes together in the morning, even if it's just having coffee.  It reminds them that even when the day gets stressful, they need to make time for what really matters.Finally, successful couples include physical affection like a kiss or hug before leaving for work. This releases feel-good hormones like oxytocin, which strengthens their bond and makes them want to grow closer together.Second Date Update: Nate and Brianna met on Hinge.

This week on Let's Try This Again, I'm your host B Simone, and I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Anita Phillips-a trauma therapist, powerhouse speaker, and someone whose wisdom has truly changed my life. In this episode, we get real about what healing actually looks like, and why forgiveness and healing are two separate journeys.I open up about my own process: how forgiving someone doesn't mean the pain is instantly gone-just like if someone broke your leg, you could forgive them right away, but your leg would still need time to heal. That analogy hit home for me, and I know so many of you can relate. Sometimes the hurt lingers long after we've chosen to let go, and that's okay.We also talk about the “mother wound,” and I share how hearing Dr. Anita break down this topic on the Woman Evolve stage brought me to tears. She explains how mother wounds aren't just a women's issue-they can affect anyone, and they run deep, sometimes all the way back to the original story of Adam and Eve. The way Dr. Anita brings grace to both mothers and daughters, and encourages us to have compassion for each other, is something I wish everyone could hear.This episode gets personal. I even take a moment to publicly apologize to anyone who met me during a darker, more broken season of my life-because when you're hurting, you show up differently, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Dr. Anita helps us understand how trauma impacts our nervous system, why we might feel stuck in “fight or flight,” and how true healing isn't about quick hacks, but about daily practices: rest, nourishing your body, using your voice, and spending time in safe spaces.We talk about practical steps-like setting boundaries, speaking up for yourself, and even how being in nature or near the ocean can help reset your nervous system. Dr. Anita shares that healing is a process, not a destination, and encourages us to look back a year from now to see how far we've come.If you've ever struggled with anxiety, felt stuck in old pain, or wondered why healing takes so long, this episode is for you. It's honest, motivating, and packed with wisdom you can use right now. Let's keep growing, healing, and trying again-together.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
