## Resource

What if the life you’ve been searching for is right below you, but you’ve been too busy circling to see it? In this powerful opening episode, Dr. Phyllis speaks to the woman who is exhausted from always showing up for everyone else while feeling disconnected from herself. Using the image of a pilot stuck in the same sky, she explains how many women live on autopilot, calling it strength while quietly losing joy and purpose. She shares her own story of fear, release, and finally choosing to land. This episode offers hope, reminding you that slowing down is not failure, it’s the beginning of something real. You are not alone, and it’s time to come home to yourself.
