Life can feel overwhelming when you’re juggling a lot and running on auto-pilot. In this episode, Dr. Phyllis shares a moment that shook her and helped her realize the importance of being fully present. Presence is where strength is restored, and God sees every moment you choose to slow down rather than just push through.

Dr. Phyllis shares three ways God renews you in the hard places. First, spiritually, through faithful presence, allowing His strength to fill you even when you feel depleted. Second, emotionally, through self-acknowledgement, taking a moment to recognize how you feel and what you need. Third, physically, through rest and support, because running on auto-pilot without care for yourself drains your body and mind.

She reminds us that life can feel demanding and often the appreciation we receive from others can feel fleeting or expected. Even so, God sees every late night, every early morning, every hard decision, and every unseen act of love. Slow down when you can, focus on one way to renew yourself this week, and remember that you don’t have to be perfect—just keep showing up.

This month Dr. Phyllis is doing something meaningful for National Family Caregivers Month with a three part series, and today’s episode is the second conversation in that series. Dr. Phyllis leans into a topic that so many people overlook when they are stretched thin and overwhelmed. Your attitude and the heart posture God calls you to hold on to in the middle of hard seasons.

When life feels heavy it becomes easy to slip into survival mode. Your perspective gets blurry, your reactions feel bigger than usual, and your sense of direction gets a little lost. In this episode Dr. Phyllis talks about how God uses these tough seasons to slow you down and gently reset the way you think, respond, and show up.

She explains how your heart posture can shift your entire experience, why this matters so much for caregivers, and how small attitude changes open the door to renewed clarity and peace.

If you are walking through a challenging season, this conversation will help you see how God meets you right in the middle of it and uses it to bring your perspective back into focus.

When life feels heavy and the days start to blur together, it’s easy to slip into survival mode without even realizing it. In this episode, Dr. Phyllis shares encouragement for anyone walking through a difficult season and wondering how to keep believing when life feels too much.

God meets us in the hard places not to break us but to restore us. Faith is easy to talk about when things are going well, but it’s in the testing that our faith grows deeper. Even when you feel stretched or unsure, this season will not last forever.

Dr. Phyllis also walks through a simple self-coaching practice called the 3 Rs to help you move from numbness to renewal: Recognize where you’ve gone numb, Remember God’s presence, and Rebuild through small, steady steps of faith.

You’re not failing. You’re growing. Don’t rush to get back to normal. Allow yourself to move through the process, trusting that God is in control. With His guidance, you’ll continue to grow, and He will do a new thing in you.
