About This Podcast
Welcome to Paging Dr. Scott, a podcast hosted by Dr. Ursula Yvette Scott.
Each episode explores topics like relationships, careers, spirituality, parenting, education, and everyday life. Dr. Scott shares insights to help you grow, make better choices, and live a more balanced life in mind, body, soul, and spirit.
Sometimes you’ll agree with her (that’s the sugary sweet), and sometimes you won’t (that’s the pinch of salt)—but both are part of the conversation.
Tune in for honest, thoughtful discussions that just might shift your perspective.
