Evolution requires some reflection on where you were, where you are, and where you want to go. To evolve in our wellness, we must reflect on our wellness journey.”

Dr. Shameka Rodgers Phillips

I began blogging in 2012, and I have enjoyed the journey of expressing myself and sharing my experiences. Since elementary school, I have enjoyed writing, reading, and music — they are my grounding. Combining these areas with my interest in wellness and expertise in healthcare and research led to this blog, The Wellness Reflect. I hope your interactions in this space inspire you to reflect on and prioritize your wellness.

Peace, Blessings & Wellness, Shameka

Wellness is a journey.

Wellness is a journey, an individualized journey. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what works for you. It is essential to reflect throughout your journey to ensure you are headed in the desired direction.

Wellness is holistic.

Wellness goes beyond the physical. There are several components of wellness, including mental and spiritual health. Most importantly, all of these different layers of wellness are impacted by the status of the other. This blog will encourage you to find harmony in the various areas of your life to maintain wellness.


Prioritizing your wellness is prioritizing yourself. To be your best self for others, you need to be your best self for yourself.
