## Resource

Hello, lovely listeners! Welcome back to Dial Emma and to our mini-series on reframes. This week, our listener is a mum of two in her thirties, who feels as though she is disappearing amidst the demands of modern life, career and motherhood. She has a good husband and two children who she loves, but in private, she fantasises about escaping to a hotel room where she can be alone, not needed by anyone. Why, she asks, can't I cope, when everyone else seems to? Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.
