About The Author
PHYLICIA PAUL-ELIAS
Phylicia Paul-Elias knows that the hardest work a person can do is the work of internal restoration. Before she was an author, she was a child who learned to navigate the world with a guarded heart, mastering the art of survival long before she knew the mechanics of joy. For years, she functioned at the highest level while carrying the weight of a past that demanded hyper-independence.
Her transition from a state of constant emergency to a life of grounded peace is not just her personal victory; it is the blueprint for her writing. She creates stories and guides for those who are tired of being “the strong one” and are finally ready to be the whole one.
Professional Authority & Personal Heart
Phylicia brings a unique blend of strategic leadership and deep empathy to her work. As a Senior Program Manager and professional coach, she spent years helping teams and individuals reach their highest potential. She understands how to build systems for success, but her writing focuses on the foundation beneath those systems: the health of the human soul.
Her professional background gives her the clarity to break down complex emotional cycles into actionable steps, while her personal history allows her to speak with a vulnerability that immediately connects with her readers. She is a mentor who has walked the road she now invites others to follow.
The “Why” Behind the Love Yourself First Series
Phylicia wrote the Love Yourself First series to provide the mirror she never had. She wanted to honor the children who learned silence before safety and show them that their stories do not have to end in survival.
Through the characters of Renee and Asha, she explores the emotional transformation required to gather the scattered pieces of a life and build something real from them. Her 365-day guide, Getting Out of Survival Mode, is the practical extension of that mission, offering a daily hand to hold for anyone ready to steady their breath and trust the light again.

Testimonials
As someone who grew up in the system, I am often wary of how our stories are told. Renee’s Journey is different. It is honest about the fear and the silence, but it is also incredibly hopeful about the possibility of finding a ‘soul family.’ I saw my own journey mirrored in Renee’s struggle to trust the light. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like a guest in their own life.
I started Getting Out of Survival Mode during a particularly chaotic season of my life. The daily prayers and ‘Brave Actions’ became my anchor. Instead of waking up and immediately checking my phone with a racing heart, I now start my day with a steady breath. It is the first time I have felt like I am actually living my life instead of just managing a series of crises.
For years, I wore my self-reliance like a badge of honor, never realizing it was actually a cage. Reading Asha’s Journey felt like someone finally turned the lights on in a room I had been sitting in for decades. Phylicia captures that specific, bone-deep tiredness that comes from always being the one in charge. This book didn’t just entertain me; it gave me the courage to ask for help for the first time in my adult life.
