## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Phyllis joins us to explore what happens when faith, exhaustion, and the pressures of real life all show up at once. You can be faithful, tired, and frustrated at the same time—and still lead with love. We dive into the importance of authentic presence and why growth and transformation aren’t about perfection. It’s about showing up as your real self, allowing yourself to feel what you feel without shame, and redefining what resilience really means. Dr. Phyllis shares a practical three-step tool to help you check in with yourself when frustration arises: Admit – acknowledge your feelings without judgment Allow – give yourself permission to feel Align – choose how to respond in a way that reflects your values and faith This episode is a reminder that being human, with all your emotions and imperfections, actually makes you a stronger caregiver, leader, and follower of God.
