## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Phyllis shares her experience of realizing she had been living in a state of emotional autopilot. While managing the many roles and responsibilities of life, she found herself feeling disconnected and unsure how to step off the constant treadmill of expectations. Our conversation explores how easily parents can become overwhelmed by responsibilities and begin operating on autopilot. Dr. Phyllis reminds us that no parent is perfect and that not everything is ours to carry. She also discusses the tools that helped her begin the process of healing, strengthen communication, and repair important relationships. This episode is an encouragement to pause, reflect, and identify one area where more intentional communication could lead to meaningful change.
