## Resource

What happens when you realize you’ve been living on auto pilot? In this episode, Dr. Phyllis shares her personal story and draws a powerful connection to the story of the prodigal son. It’s an honest look at what it feels like to drift, to lose sight of who you really are, and what it takes to come back. She opens up about the moment she knew something had to change. The moment she realized that if she wanted to reclaim her identity, she had to return to Him. That decision didn’t just shift one area of her life. It changed how she navigates everything. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck in roles, or just going through the motions, this conversation will hit close to home. So many of us are prone to living on auto pilot, slowly losing connection with our true identity without even realizing it. This episode is your reminder that you’re not too far gone. There is power in the return. Dr. Phyllis also introduces The Return Framework, a simple and meaningful way to begin breaking free from auto pilot and take your first steps back to who you really are.
