## Resource

Who are you when you take off every name tag you wear? You’ve been so many things to so many people for so long, the woman underneath has gotten quiet. You can’t remember the last time someone asked who you were — not what you do, not who you take care of, not what role you fill — but who you ARE. In this episode, Dr. Phyllis sits with you at a threshold she’s stood at herself. She tells you the story of the chair in her living room — the moment everything stripped away — and the verse from Luke that gave it language. This isn’t an episode you listen to in the background. You are allowed to wonder who she is. This week’s reflection: Who are you when no one needs anything from you — when every name tag is set down? Luke 15:17 “And when he came to himself…” Get Dr. Phyllis's Free Answer Guide, “What’s Yours to Carry — and What Isn’t — ten honest answers for the woman who holds everyone together.” Ten questions.
